Ingredients
-
2 3/4 cups water
-
1 1/2 cups white rice (I used Uncle Ben's)
-
3 tablespoons vegetable oil or 3 tablespoons wok oil, 3 turns of the pan
-
2 eggs, beaten
-
2 cloves garlic, chopped
-
2 inches fresh ginger, minced or grated
-
4 scallions, thinly sliced on an angle
-
1/2 cup frozen peas
-
1/3 cup tamari (dark aged soy sauce)
-
1/2 cup shredded carrot
-
1 small red bell peppers or 1 small green bell pepper, diced
Instructions
- Bring water to a boil.
- Add rice, reduce heat, cover and cook over medium low heat until tender, 15 to 18 minutes.
- Spread rice out on a cookie sheet to quick cool it.
- (If you have leftover rice you can really speed this dish up).
- Heat a wok, wok shaped skillet or large nonstick skillet over high heat.
- Add oil to the pan.
- Add egg to hot oil and break into small bits as it scrambles.
- When eggs are scrambled, add garlic and ginger to the pan.
- (If you happen to be out of ginger like I was once, you can add some terriyaki sauce).
- Add carrots, pepper, scallions to the pan and quick stir-fry veggies 2 minutes.
- Add rice to the pan and combine with veggies.
- Fry rice with veggies 2 or 3 minutes.
- Add peas and soy sauce to the rice and stir fry 1 minute more, then serve.
