From Leftover Rice to Fried Rice

Hey, there!

Here is my *very* easygoing recipe for turning leftover rice into rice with some pizazz...i.e. fried rice!

You'll find the link for the recipe's video below, but here are the ingredients you'll need:

About half an onion, chopped
A bell pepper (I used red, about 3/4 of it)
1 can of corn, drained
About a tablespoon of minced garlic
2 tablespoons of olive oil
1/2 tablespoon of toasted sesame oil
Sprinkle of ground ginger (or fresh)
A cup of cooked/leftover white rice
Soy sauce (I used low sodium and enough to turn rice caramel color)

Directions:

1. Begin by sauteeing vegetables in olive oil until bell pepper is tender.
2. Add garlic and cook about half a minute.
3. Add cooked/leftover white rice.
4. Add toasted sesame oil (and more olive oil, if necessary).
5. Sprinkle on ginger.
6. Add soy sauce a little at a time, until desired color/taste, but not too much so that more can be added afterwards.
7. Enjoy!

As I mention in my video, you can get creative with the ingredients! Some suggestions are:

Shrimp
Broccoli
Water chestnuts
Shitake/regular mushrooms
Leftover chicken or pork
Cooked or canned green beans
Cooked or canned carrots

Note: I also scrambled one egg, made room in the pan, added and cooked the egg thoroughly, then stirred it right into the rice.

Till next time!
