Fried Rice
4 cups cooked rice 2 to 3 eggs 1 to 2 spring onions, finely chopped some leftover cooked meat or vegetables, optional 2 to 3 tablespoon oil 1 teaspoon salt
To use up any leftover cooked rice the best way is to stir fry it in a little hot oil with scrambled eggs over a moderate heat. When all the grains are separated, add salt and finely chopped spring onions. If you happen to have any leftover cooked meat such as chicken, pork or ham, or vegetables such as peas, carrots or green pepper, dice them into small cubes the size of peas and add to the rice to improve not only its flavor and texture but also its appearance.
