Leftovers Special Fried Rice

This is a great way to use up leftover meat and veg. If you make a batch of rice to have on hand it makes this dinner even easier. I need to get into the habit of doing that. My favourite rice recipe is from Nourishing Traditions which I will post next.

Ingredients:
Sesame oil (or whatever oil you have. Sesame oil gives a great flavour though.)
Chinese 5 Spice
Good portion of leftover meat and/or veg, diced. I bulk up with frozen peas and tinned sweetcorn.
1 or 2 eggs
Cooked rice (I think I use about 1 cup uncooked)
Soy sauce

1. Heat oil in a wok or large frying pan. Add meat and veg (frozen veg first if using) with a shake of Chinese 5 Spice. Cook until heated through.

2. If using, whisk the eggs in a bowl. Push the meat and veg to one side in the pan, pour the egg into the space and stir it so that it scrambles. When cooked, mix in with the rest.

3. Stir in rice and heat through. Add a splash of soy sauce to taste.

Done! Dinner in 10 mins :)
