Rice is a great grain to have and can be stored for a long time! It can be added to soups, meats, as a dish or even for a main part of a meal!

Ingredients:

• 2 cups cooked, chilled white or brown rice

• 1 cup chopped yellow onion

• 1/3 cup thinly sliced scallions

• 1 1/2 cups peas and carrots

• 1 large egg, beaten

• 1 tablespoon vegetable oil

• 2 teaspoons rice wine (also called mirin)

• 1 tablespoon water

• 1 1/2 tablespoons soy sauce

• 1/8 teaspoon pepper

Directions

Stir together the rice wine, water, soy sauce, pepper and egg. Set aside.
Heat the vegetable oil in a large skillet or wok on medium high heat. Add the onions and scallions to the oil and saute until the onions are translucent.
Add chilled rice, peas and carrots. Stir until just warmed.
Drizzle the egg/soy sauce mixture over the fried rice, stirring constantly. Continue stirring until egg is cooked and the rice is completely heated. This should take approximately 6 to 8 minutes. Serve immediately.
