Fried Rice

Directions

1. 1
   If you're making fresh rice for this, take a tip from Rachael Ray and quick-cool it by spreading it out on a cookie sheet while you chop your veggies.
2. 2
   Finely chop the garlic, bell pepper, and scallions.
3. 3
   Grate the carrot.
4. 4
   Heat a large non-stick skillet over high heat.
5. 5
   Add about half the oil to the center.
6. 6
   Add the eggs and quickly scramble, then push them off to the edges.
7. 7
   Add the rest of the oil to the center of the skillet.
8. 8
   Add the garlic, carrot, bell pepper and scallions, and quick-fry them for 2 minutes.
9. 9
   Add the rice, combine with the veggies, then incorporate the scrambled eggs and fry for another 3 minutes.
10. 10
    Add the peas and soy sauce and fry for 1 minutes.

    This is good with different kinds of meat too - I like to add already cooked shrimp or cubed chicken with the soy sauce and peas.
