Have I ever shared the recipe I use to make the easiest fried rice EVER? (The original comes from this post on Casual Kitchen.) Last night, since my husband wasn’t going to be eating any, I excluded the meat and made enough for four days of lunches in roughly 15 minutes. It’s that quick and easy, and everything I need to make it is usually hanging out in my kitchen.
Ingredients
*1 or 2 frozen Italian sausages (optional, but I always use hot Italian sausage if I include it)
*2 or 3 cups of day-old rice (I use brown rice that has been up to a week old)
*Cayenne
*1 egg, beaten
*Sriracha or Tabasco
*Soy sauce (I like tamari best)
*Frozen broccoli or peas, or whatever frozen veggies you want
Directions
Slice up the sausage into small chunks and fry over medium heat until chunks are no longer pink. Add rice, breaking up clumps, and sprinkle with cayenne. Add sriracha (as much or as little as you want) to the beaten egg and pour egg mixture into the rice and sausage mixture. Stir until it’s evenly combined. Add 4 or 5 shakes of soy sauce to the pan and stir to combine. Add your frozen veggies and cook over medium-high heat for 4 to 5 minutes, stirring constantly. Enjoy!
