Yummy Fried Rice

Jenna's Fried Rice


Chinese Fried Rice

2-3 Tbls. veg. oil
2 cups cooked rice - cold
2tbls. soy sauce
1 tbls. Sugar
1 Tbls. rice vinegar 
1/4 tsp. pepper
1/2 tsp. garlic, minced
1/2 stalk of celery, chopped
1 green onion, chopped
1/2 cup frozen peas (I rinse in hot water to thaw) 
2 large eggs beaten. 

Chop and assemble and prepare all ingredients before you start cooking because the fried rice is done in just a few minutes. I also do my egg first in the same pan and then take it out to add later. 

Combine soy sauce, sugar, rice vinegar, and pepper together in a custard cup and set aside. Heat fry pan or wok on med. high heat and add 1-2 Tbls. of oil, along with the chopped garlic and celery. Cook for about 2 mins. and add green onions: continue to cook for another minute. Next add the rice, peas and sauce mixture at the same time. Gently stir into other ingredients.  Add eggs to the rice mixture the very last. Serve immediately.  I usually double the sauce and the rice too. 

Don’t Have Cooked Rice on Hand? :

While nothing beats previously cooked rice for making fried rice, if you don't have any on hand, here's a tip. Prepare a batch of fresh cooked rice, spread it on a baking sheet and freeze for 25 – 30 minutes. The texture of the fried rice isn't quite the same as days-old cooked rice, but it makes a handy substitute.

I got this recipe from Jenna and it is my favorite. She got it from her cooking class at school. I am sharing because it is the best I have ever eaten. 

Also I want you to see what a very mischievous little imp can grow up to be. She can still be a bit mischievous but very beautiful. She is an artist and also models for another artist in Rexburg, Idaho. She is the little girl laughing at her little brother in the "Funny Stories" And of course is one of my Grands.;) The top pictures are Jenna being bored. Both are self portraits.;) The bottom is posing for the artist that did her portraits in Idaho.
