Fried Rice

This is Emeril Lagasse's recipe. I doubled it for dinner tonight and used frozen peas, fresh diced carrots and sauteed beef but will likely use chicken or shrimp next time. We skipped the nuts, didn't have sesame oil, added a little extra soy sauce. I doubled the recipe for a family of 5 (including 3 teenagers), had a few leftovers. Bam! Dinner. Fast,easy and yummm! -Claire
Serves:
3 to 4 servings

Ingredients

* 2 tablespoons vegetable oil
* 2 cups assorted cooked vegetables (such as any vegetable leftovers)

* 2 eggs, beaten
* 2 tablespoons soy sauce
* 1 teaspoon sesame oil
* 2 cups cooked rice
* Salt and pepper
* 1/2 cup coarsely chopped nuts (such as cashews or peanuts)
* 2 tablespoons chopped green onion

Directions

In a large skillet or wok heat oil over medium-high heat, add vegetables and cook until just tender. Push vegetables to sides of pan and pour eggs in middle. Scramble eggs, and when they begin to solidify, add soy sauce, sesame oil, and rice. Toss to combine ingredients and heat to cook rice through. Taste and adjust seasoning with salt and pepper, if needed. Serve immediately, garnished with nuts and green onions.
