Mark s Very Own Fried Rice

Recipes Ingredients:

4 c Cooked rice
1/2 c Frozen corn &/or peas
1 lg Onion, finely chopped
1 ea 3" piece ginger root, sliced
2 ea Garlic cloves, minced
1/2 ts Chili pieces
1 lg Carrot, scrubbed & diced
Soy sauce
1 md Green pepper, diced
Salt & pepper, to taste

Recipe Instructions:

Ensure that the Rice has been cooked ahead of time & is well cooled. Heat about 2 to 3 tb Vegetable oil in a wok. When hot, add onions & Garlic & fry for 3 minutes. Add the carrots & stir-fry for 2 minutes. Add the rest of the Vegetables & continue to stir-fry for 2 or 3 minutes. Toss in the Chili pieces & ginger root. Cook for a few seconds. Carefully stir in the cold rice. Lower heat & continue to cook, stirring occasionally for 5 minutes. Add enough soy Sauce to coat the Rice & cook for a further 5 minutes on low heat, stirring often to prevent sticking. Season if desired with salt & pepper. Serve when heated through. This goes great with Spicy tofu dishes or works well on its own as a main dish in its own right. If you desire something hotter, add more Chili pieces. Use pieces rather than powder because they are hotter. For a variation, I sometimes toss in a few strips of tofu just before adding the spices. Posted by Mark Satterly in Intercook
