Week 9: New Food

The New:

This week, my new feat was attempting to make fried rice, and as I am now working on my second helping, I would say it went well. As is true for most of my new recipes, my inspiration came from Pinterest, but I did add my own spin on the recipe and it came out great.

All you need is:

5 cups brown rice, prepared

1/2 an onion, chopped

2 cloves garlic, minced

1 1/2 cups peas and carrots (I used the frozen kind; you can't beat that convenience!)

2 eggs

2 Tbs. olive oil

1/4 cup soy sauce

Directions:

1. Saute the onions and garlic in the olive oil. Once onions are translucent, add the peas and carrots and cook until veggies are tender.

2. Next, scramble the eggs in a bowl or cup and add to the pan, cooking until eggs are done.

3. Finally, add rice and soy sauce and mix it all together.

Enjoy :)

The Evidence:

Yummmmmy :)

The Verdict:

This meal was cheap, fast, easy, and delicious. I will definitely be making this again, although next time I will likely use another egg and more soy sauce. That's one of my favorite things about cooking: you can tailor it to fit what appeals to your taste buds. As I said, this recipe was a modified from one I found to make it suitable to what sounded good to me, and you can do the same.
