MaryLee's Healthy Food and Easy Cooking - Fried Rice

Hello,

Following on with the rice lets talk about how we can use rice once it is cooked. Cooked rice will last up to 5 days in the fridge so it can be used in different meals.

Fried rice can be a simple to prepare and by adding any ingredient to it will make a great meal and it will only take minutes to do. With this one I am using chicken.

1 – 2 chicken breast cubed or diced
Onion finely chopped
1 – 2 cloves garlic finely chopped
Carrot cubed or diced
½ cup peas
½ cup corn
2 tbsp (tablespoons) chopped parsley, coriander and chives
1 – 2 cups cooked rice
2 tbsp soy sauce
1 tbsp oil

In hot wok or frying pan heat oil, put in onion stirring until onion becomes transparent add chicken and continue stirring until chicken has become white will be partially cooked at this point.

Add garlic then the carrot stirring constantly to avoid burning. Once the carrots have cooked to the texture you prefer add the peas, corn and herbs stirring for another minute, stir in the rice.

Check the chicken to make sure it is cooked through, it really should be by now, add the soy sauce just before you are ready to serve.

This meal is simple to make and more important wonderful to eat. What a great way to use up left over rice.

Once again experiment with different vegetables, meats and herbs.
