8 steps

Ingredients

  • Cooking Oil (I like sesame oil for this recipe, but anything will do)
  • 6 cups cooked rice (white
  • brown)
  • Soy sauce, to taste
  • Ketchup, to taste
  • 1 lg. onion, chopped
  • 3 to 4 sm. dried hot red peppers
  • 2 to 3 cups frozen mixed vegetables, already cooked

Directions

  1. 1
    Heat oil over medium to high heat in large skillet.
  2. 2
    Crumble peppers into the oil and let cook briefly.
  3. 3

  4. 4
    When onion is mostly tender, add the rice along with soy sauce and ketchup (add more oil if needed, or a little water, to prevent sticking).

    Fry the rice and make sure the soy/ketchup combination lightly colors all of it.

    Then add the cooked vegetables and scrambled eggs.
