Have you ever wondered if you could turn a tub of day-old rice and a few random ingredients you probably already have in the fridge into a delicious meal? Well I\u2019m here to tell you that you can! This is a departure from the usual theme of this blog, but everybody loves a good recipe, right?<\/p>\n<p>There are two caveats to this recipe: 1) the rice must be made previously and cold &#8211; ideally leftover rice you need to use up. If you try to use freshly cooked rice it will stick together and be gummy; and 2) You need to have toasted sesame oil on hand. It really doesn\u2019t taste right without it. Everything else depends on your preference, and what you have on hand.<\/p>\n<p><strong>Ingredients<\/strong><\/p>\n<ul>\n<li>Leftover, or cooked and cooled rice<\/li>\n<li>Canola oil, or similar<\/li>\n<li>onion<\/li>\n<li>garlic<\/li>\n<li>carrots, peas, other vegies<\/li>\n<li>beaten egg<\/li>\n<li>meat or other add-ins (optional)<\/li>\n<li>soy sauce<\/li>\n<li>toasted sesame oil<\/li>\n<\/ul>\n<p><strong>Making It<\/strong><br \/>\nCook egg in oil over medium heat. You can allow it to harden in a sheet, and chop it up a bit. Remove and set aside.<\/p>\n<p>Add more oil, and cook onion, carrots, peas, garlic and any other vegies for a few minutes. Add rice and cook for a few more minutes. Stir in a few generous shakes of soy sauce. Add in any other pre-cooked items (e.g. meat) and cooked egg. When everything is cooked and starting to brown lightly, turn off the heat. Stir in a few shakes of toasted sesame oil, and voila, yummy fried rice!<\/p>\n","protected":false},"excerpt":{"rendered":"<p>Did you ever wish you could whip up a batch of tasty, comforting fried rice in your own kitchen?
