Fried Rice Quick and Easy

 (slightly adapted from The Recipe Critic)

Servings: about 8

Hubby Ken just LOVES Asian food.  I had some crispy orange chicken from Costco in the freezer, along with some Costco egg rolls.  I made this easy fried rice and it was so tasty!  I also served this easy wonton soup as a starter.  What a fun and easy dinner!  

INGREDIENTS:

3 cups cooked rice (leftover cold rice works great!)

2 tablespoons sesame oil

1 small sweet onion, chopped

1 cup frozen peas and carrots, thawed

2-3 tablespoons low sodium soy sauce (or to taste)

2 eggs lightly beaten

  

DIRECTIONS:

Preheat large skillet to medium heat.  Pour sesame oil in the bottom.  Add onion, peas and carrots and saute until tender.

Slide the vegetables to one side, and pour the beaten eggs onto the other side of the skillet. Scramble the eggs. Once cooked, mix the eggs with the vegetable mix.

Add the rice to the vegetables and egg mixture.  Drizzle soy sauce over mixture and stir fry until heated through.
