So, I don't know about you, but when I make rice, there is always a ton left over and it sits in the fridge until it's ready to get thrown away. Using cold, leftover rice, makes the perfect FRIED RICE because when left in the fridge overnight, the rice grains firm up, thus making it easier to separate, and decreasing the chances of a mushy fried rice!
Making a healthy fried rice at home is a quick and simple dinner for us moms on the go! You can add anything you want to make it your own and get those veggies in! This is seriously a fun dish to experiment with and see which ways you and your family like it best!! I made this one with corn, carrots and asparagus, and it was a HIT!!!
Serves 2
Ingredients
Oil spray
1 small onion, chopped
1 celery stalk, sliced
1 clove of garlic, minced
10 stalks of asparagus, chopped
1/2 cup frozen corn
1 carrot, shredded
1 cup of precooked long grain rice
1 lb of precooked chicken, cubed
3 eggs
Soy sauce (I use gluten free)
Black pepper
1) Spray a non-stick pan with cooking spray and add onions and celery. Cook for 5 minutes on medium heat or until onion is translucent.
2) Add garlic and cook until fragrant, 30 seconds.
3) Stir in the rest of veggies and cook 5 more minutes. Then transfer all veggies to a bowl. Set aside.
4) Add rice to pan and cook until warm, about 5 minutes.
5) Mix in chicken and cook a few minutes more until chicken is warmed.
6) Push the rice and chicken to one side of the pan, spray empty side with oil spray and crack eggs right into pan. Scramble until cooked through.
7) Add veggies back in and mix all together.
8) Add soy sauce and black pepper to your liking.
9) Enjoy!!!
