Got left over rice?

When I cook rice and yes I cook real rice and not instant or in that pouch either, but if you have leftover rice, try this with it.  I make fried rice with my leftover rice.  It’s really simple and good too.  It makes a great lunch or even a quick dinner if you want.

Here’s what I do.  I heat my pan with cooking spray in it.  Chop up some onions (if you like onions, put more, if not don’t put much in it).  For me, I love onions so for about a cup of rice, I add about a forth of a cup of chopped onions and put them in the pan to cook slightly.  Then I put in my rice and stir it around to mix the onions into the rice.  I let that cook while stirring it almost constantly in the hot pan for about 5 minutes.

Have 2 eggs beaten up in a cup ready to put into them but first you add soy sauce (that depends on your taste too but at least a tablespoon or more) to the rice mixture in the pan and sprinkle with some garlic powder.  Mix all of the ingredients well and make an area in the middle of the rice for the egg.  Pour the beaten eggs in the ‘hole’ and mix everything well while the egg cooks.  Once the egg is cooked, you have fried rice.  You can also add any meat you happen to have left over before you add the egg too.  Add a salad or steamed broccoli and you have a good meal that’s cheap too.  Try it sometime.
