Fried Rice
(for two; can be doubled)
(either as a main dish or a side dish)

Food Bank Ingredients:
2 cups cooked rice
2 eggs
canned cooked pork, or almost any other kind of meat, chopped (optional; a little goes a long way with this dish)
canned vegetables, drained (any will work)

Additional Ingredients:
¼ - ½ medium onion, coursely chopped (or about 2 tablespoons of dried onion flakes softened in a little water)
1-3 stalks diced celery
¼ - ½ diced bell pepper
1 tablespoon chopped ginger
1-2 cloves garlic, chopped
ground black pepper
2-3 tablespoons vegetable oil
Soy sauce to taste when served

Preheat nonstick or well seasoned skillet – or a wok - to medium hot, add 1 tablespoon oil and break both eggs in, mix and scramble until done and remove to a dish.
Increase heat, add some more oil and sautee any other ingredients, vegetables first, meat last.
Add rice and stir.
Return eggs and stir.

Comments: This is not the greasy brown stuff you get at a cheap take out. Fried rice is nothing more than a way to use leftover rice embellished with whatever is laying around to make it more flavorful, so really most of the ingredients are optional. Add anything you like. It is not just okay for it to be different every time, it should be different every time.
