Fry then Stir


One of my husband's favorite dishes, as he loves rice and preferably dry rice. Not only my husband's but my 12-year old loves it just as much. It makes for great left overs. This might be called the lazy man's or woman's meal as it's so easy to cook and often with ingredients we often have in the fridge: carrots, frozen peas (hard to come by fresh); onions, zucchini, fried eggs and shrimps.

Just fry one chopped onion in a bit of olive oil and add a couple splashes of soy sauce and oyster sauce (okay...not in every household but good to have) then add carrots first and add shrimps. Zucchini does not need long so don't cook too long...thereafter throw in bio jasmine rice, stir and then a thin cooked scrambled egg (cook thinly in an egg pan and slice in strips). Also add peas at the end as not to over cook. I prefer not to overcook the vegetables. In fact, to retain the most health benefits it would be wiser to steam them first and throw them into the mix at the end...but again...being lazy and making this dish in less than a half hour...it's just a simple stir fry of a fridge raid. If available some fresh mushrooms also goes well in this dish. Add salt, seasoning to one's own taste.
