I really like cooking and want to share my adventures with others. Cooking is one of the creative outlets I indulge in that I get to share and know others really enjoy.When I try a new dish I will try and get on here and talk about it. I'll also be posting the recipes so you can try it as well.
We had fried rice for dinner tonight. This is the first time I tried this recipe. I even think this was the first attempt at a Chinese dish. I usually stick to Italian or Southern, but I saw this recipe and decided to give it a try.
3 tbsp oil
2-3 large eggs, lightly beaten
1 diced onion
1 cup cooked meat (shrimp, bacon, chicken, etc.)
1/2 cup bell pepper
1/2 cup English peas
3 cups cooked rice (1.5 cups uncooked rice)
2 tbsp soy sauce
1 tsp chili-garlic sauce
- Heat 1 tbsp of the oil in a large skillet over medium heat
- Add eggs and gently stir until the eggs are softly scrambled. Remove, chop and set aside.
- Heat remaining oil then add onion and bell pepper. Stir fry 3 minutes.
- Add meat and peas stir fry for 2 more minutes.
- Add rice, soy sauce, and chili-garlic sauce for an additional 5 minutes.
- Stir in eggs
Serves about 4
The above recipe is a tweaked version of the one I tried tonight. The original called for 1/4 cup of soy sauce. Kristi and I thought that was a little too much. You can always add the soy sauce in after it is served. The amount of meat can be varied depending on what you want. I used brown rice making this recipe.
BTW rice and pasta are the best creations on this planet (as well as potatoes)
