Friendly Fried Rice

by Phyllis Cole-Dai

Servings:

INGREDIENTS

Cooking Oil (I like sesame oil for this recipe, but anything will do)
6 c. cooked rice (white or brown)
soy sauce to taste
ketchup to taste
1 large onion, chopped
3-4 small dried hot red peppers
2-3 c. frozen mixed vegetables, already cooked
1 cake very firm tofu, diced
1-2 eggs, scrambled
Other optional ingredients: bean sprouts, water chestnuts, bamboo shoots
salt and pepper to taste (sometimes I add a little sugar)
curry powder to taste (optional)

INSTRUCTIONS

Heat oil over medium to high heat in large skillet. Crumble peppers into the oil and let cook briefly. Then add and saute onion. 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. Add the tofu and any optional ingredients (e.g., water chestnuts) and cook a while longer. Then add the cooked vegetables and scrambled eggs. Season to taste with salt, pepper, curry and/or sugar.
