Fried rice

Dinner, lunch or breakfast-- I would eat fried rice for every meal if I could. My dad makes the best fried rice I've ever had. No restaurant can stack up. This is the recipe I learned from him.

Before you make fried rice you need to cook rice the night before and let chill over night (at my house we prefer jasmine rice but any long grain rice will work)

Ingredients-

3 eggs 

6 cups of cooked rice

1 Tablespoon Seasoned salt 

2 Green onions (Chopped)

Soy Sauce 

Small bits of meat (optional) 

vegetable of choice (optional)

Cooking oil 

Utensils- 

Sauce pan

Rice cooker

Start by turning on your burner to medium heat. Pour in 2 T. of cooking oil and let heat up.

Chop up your green onions. Once your pan has heated up, add three eggs and scramble them, Once the eggs are fully scrambled, add the 6 cups of rice and a tablespoon of seasoning salt. Stir everything together.  Add meat or vegetables if desired. Turn heat to low and stir occasionally until the rice is translucent. Once it's translucent, add in the soy sauce to desired taste.
