Want something quick but yummy? Then let’s make fried rice!

This recipe does not use soy sauce nor oyster sauce. Just salt for seasoning, so that you can taste the ingredients.

This recipe has no measurement. Fried rice is usually made to clean up your refrigerator using what you have on hand. Use any vegetables you have in your refrigerator, but don’t skip the green onion!

Serves 4 people

Ingredients:

• 6 cups of cooked rice, cooled (Rice from 1-2 days before is best!)
• 3-4 Eggs, crack and stir with chopsticks
• Handful of ham or Chinese sausage (optional) chopped into small size. Vegetarians can omit this.
• 1-2 handful of carrots, chopped small (as much as you want)
• 1-2 handful of frozen peas, thawed (don’t get the ones in the can – they are terrible. Get the frozen ones.)

• Salt, pepper
• 1 Tablespoon sesame oil

Steps:

1. Heat up a wok or a large frying pan, drizzle 3-4 Tablespoon of oil, and crank the heat up high.
