Fried Rice

This was good, but it wasn't quite right. Personally, I thought that it needed less pepper and more soy sauce. It was also a little too sticky for my tastes as I like a drier fried rice. This might have been due to the fact that I made the rice that day, rinsed it and placed it in the fridge. I was thinking that the rice might have to be made the day before or picked up from a Chinese restaurant and be refrigerated overnight. That might help suck some of the moisture out of the rice. Other than that it's great paired with the Honey-Soy Chicken Planks.

Prep Time: 20 minutes

Cooking Time: 20 minutes

Servings: 8-10

Ingredients

2 eggs

2 TBS water

2 TBS butter

2 TBS vegetable oil

1/2 medium onion, chopped

4 cups cooked white rice, cold

6 TBS soy sauce

1 1/2 tsp ground black pepper (this was a little too much for us)

Directions

In a bowl, beat together the eggs and water. Melt butter over medium heat and add the eggs. Leave it flat until cooked. Slide onto a plate and slice it into shreds or bite sized pieces. Set aside.

Heat oil in the same skillet. Add the onion and saute until translucent and soft. Add the remaining ingredients (except for the egg) and cook for 5 minutes. Add the egg and mix together. Cook for 2-3 minutes more. 

Enjoy!
