Heat oil on high heat for 1 minute in a wok or nonstick large skillet. 2. Add onion and cook, stirring until softened. Add rice and stir-fry. 3. Make a well in center of rice and add remaining ingredients. Stir until eggs are scrambled and then stir-fry eggs into the rice until thoroughly blended. Helpful Hints: Fried rice is made with leftover rice. When cooked rice is chilled for a few hours, it dries out and can be stir-fried with a minimum of oil. You can vary the ingredients in fried rice just like you can in pasta dishes. Add a variety of vegetables and meat, garlic and ginger and whip up a main dish in a hurry. Leftover peas and carrots add lots to color!. What does it mean to make a “well” in the rice? It means to push the rice all around the inside edge of the pan leaving an area in the center of the pan that is empty. The eggs can be scrambled here before mixing into the rice. Safety Tip: Stir-frying involves high heat and hot oil. Adult supervision is a must for this recipe. Younger kids can break the cold rice apart with wet hands and break the eggs into a separate dish. Keep paper towels, dish towels and pot holders away from the rangetop so they don’t catch on fire.
