Go Go Go Fried Rice

        ‘Tis the season to enjoy holiday cheer with our friends and also to shop, shop, shop!  Here’s an easy recipe you can make with left over rice from a Chinese take out get together.  White jasmine rice gets a little hard when you try to save it for leftovers, but by adding a few ingredients you can magically transform it into delicious fried rice. 

Go Go Go Fried Rice

5 strips of bacon slice into 3/4” pieces (Reserve 2 Tbsp. bacon oil)

5 Cups of Rice

5 small stalks of green onion

2 eggs

1 Tbsp. Shoyu (soy sauce)

¼ tsp. salt (optional)

1/8 tsp. pepper (optional)

Directions:

1.     Grab a pan or wok and fry up bacon!

2.     Remove bacon and discard all but 2 Tbsp of oil

3.     Heat oil on medium heat

4.     Add rice

5.     Add bacon and green onions

6.     Gently stir

7.     Open up a hole in the center of the rice so you can see the bottom of the pan

8.     Lightly scramble two eggs and put it in the center

9.     Continue scrambling while cooking

10. When it is barely starting to cook and still a little runny start mixing the rice into the egg.

11. Add shoyu (soy sauce) and mix in

12. Taste it 

13. If you think it needs a little more flavor add salt and pepper to taste

The fried rice is ready.  Don’t forget to turn off the stove, and then EAT!   The rice also lasts better in the refrigerator fried up this way.  But if you have Little BeaNs (kids) at home they will probably devour it for their afternoon snack.  

Chef Azuki came up with the name Go Go Go Fried Rice because we added 5 strips of bacon, 5 cups of rice & 5 stalks of green onions to this.  “Go” is the word for the #5 in Japanese.  It’s easy to remember this quick 5 ingredient recipe, just think Go, Go, Go!  You’re ready with the fried rice and now go out and shop, shop, shop!
