3/20/07 | Leftovers: Fried Rice
[ Currently Eating: Cupcake and Coffee ]
Sorry for the “Post-n-run” but I’ve gotta get somewhere. So I’ll leave you with a few pics of what must be the number one leftover concoction in our household - Fried Rice. We almost always have some leftover rice in the fridge, and we just throw a ton of stuff like chopped ham, sausage, bacon, eggs, green vegetables, carrots, onions, etc. into the mix.
This is a bit different than the normal one I usually make - it features cubes of leftover Kielbasa and frozen green beans that I cooked and chopped. Not too bad. Lately, I’ve been trying to cook the fried rice in a large cast iron skillet - I find it browns up really nicely. The only thing is that if you crowd the pan, it’s sort of hard to turn the fried rice.

My mom makes this with scrambled egg, shrimp, and peas. I know it doesn’t sound too appetizing, but it’s one of the most comforting meals.

I love fried rice! And you are now my new hero, everything tastes better when cooked in cast iron! It’s perfect for caramelizing up some of the kielbasa as well!

I am a bit of a traditionalist, I always have to have sweet Chinese sausage in my fried rice. Throw that, green onions, shrimp, and eggs in and you have a quick and simple meal. Always have to have a dash of soy sauce and some Sriracha too.
