Fried Rice

This is a great recipe to make my husband happy!  He would fit in well in Asian countries because he could probably live on rice alone.  I like it because it's pretty easy and makes a ton!  It doesn't taste exactly like what you would find at a Chinese restaurant, but it's definitely tasty!

Fried Rice
Adapted from Cooking Light

4 cups cold cooked rice
1 1/2 tablespoons olive oil
1 small onion, chopped
2 cloves garlic, crushed
2 cups chicken or ham, cooked and chopped
1/4 cup low-sodium soy sauce
2 1/2 teaspoons dark sesame oil
2-3 large eggs, scrambled
1 small can peas and carrots

Cook the rice the day before you plan to make this.  Refrigerate overnight.  Before cooking, break up rice with hands or forks to remove clumps.

Heat a wok or skillet over medium-high heat.  Add oil to pan.  Add onion and garlic and cook until onion begins to brown.  Add meat and cook a few more minutes.  Add cold rice, stir and cook 2 minutes.  Stir in soy sauce and sesame oil.  Add scrambled eggs and peas and carrots.  Stir and cook a few minutes more until mixture is warmed completely through.
