MICROWAVE FRIED RICE

FRIED RICE (NOT!) Thats what my kids call this!! I got this recipe from my friend Bev, and it is a quick and easy side dish, that can be padded out with a few more veggies. I would suggest that you dont "muck around" with this too much the first time you make it, as I have tried to be too clever and it hasnt worked out as well!!! having said that, I have to say I usually add garlic and ginger, and I am sure you have a favorite ingredient you would like to add :)

Provided by Nado2003

Categories     Low Protein

Time 7m

Yield 1/4 cup, 3 serving(s)

Number Of Ingredients 2

3 -4 shallots, peeled
2 tablespoons vegetable oil

Steps:

  • Thinly slice shallots in rounds.
  • Combine shallots and oil (just enough to barely cover) in a small microwavable bowl.
  • Microwave on high for 2 minutes, check then microwave for another minute or until golden. Watch carefully, if it's golden, remove and shallots will cook more as oil is still hot. Drain shallots and use or keep in airtight container for about 3 days. I always use all of it each time.

Tips:

  • Always start with cold, cooked rice. This will help prevent the rice from becoming mushy.
  • Use a large bowl to mix the rice and other ingredients. This will help ensure that everything is evenly combined.
  • Add the eggs to the rice mixture one at a time, stirring constantly. This will help prevent the eggs from scrambling.
  • Don't overcook the rice. The rice should be heated through, but still slightly firm.
  • Serve the fried rice immediately. This is when it is at its best.

Conclusion:

Microwave fried rice is a quick and easy way to make a delicious meal. It is a great way to use up leftover rice, and it can be customized to your liking. With a few simple ingredients and a little bit of time, you can have a delicious and satisfying meal that the whole family will enjoy.
