Super Easy Fried Rice

I love fried rice and homemade is so much better than take out because it's not as greasy and you can add what you like. I've made fried rice several times before and it turned out good but sometimes kind of dry and I was adding quite a bit of soy sauce or water to moisten it. I recently watched an episode of The Kitchen on Food Network where Chef Jet Tila made a bacon and egg fried rice that put the beaten eggs in the skillet with the rice to make a kind of sauce and then added a little soy and oyster sauce.  It looked really good, was quick and easy so I made fried rice for supper that night. It was the best fried rice ever, super moist and took less that 30 minutes to make. I used ground pork in mine, veggies from my freezer and cooked rice in our rice cooker. It's so versatile and easy, with any kind of meat, vegetables and cooked rice, plus my husband loved it so I will definitely be making this again. It's also a great way to use leftovers. Here's the recipe:

1 lb. cooked meat, bacon, ground pork or chicken
2 cups cooked rice
1 to 2 cups chopped vegetables, such as onions, sweet peppers, carrots. green beans, peas or broccoli
2 eggs beaten
1 t each seasoned salt, pepper and parsley or an herb mix
2 to 3 T soy sauce, can also add oyster sauce

Cook rice in rice cooker, on stove or use leftover rice. In large skillet, brown meat and set aside.  In meat drippings (if not enough drippings add 1 t bacon grease or oil) , season vegetables with seasoned salt, pepper, parsley or herb mix and cook until tender 10 to 15 minutes, depending on vegetables. Add meat back in. When rice is done, add beaten eggs to skillet then add rice directly into wet egg and press the rice into the egg, stir until rice is coated.  Add soy and/or oyster sauce and check seasonings.  Mixture is done when egg is completely cooked, which just takes a few minutes.

Enjoy,
