Plain rice has a new taste with this simple asian-influenced recipe.

Ingredients

3 cups Cooked, cold rice (day-old is best)

3 Eggs

1 tb. Soy sauce

2 tb. Peanut or canola oil

1 can Sliced water chestnuts

1 cup Frozen peas

Cooked chicken or ham (optional)

Preparation

Beat and scramble eggs. Chop and set aside. Pour oil in wok, turn on medium high and add rice. Stir-fry with soy sauce. Add frozen peas, chopped cooked meat (optional), water chestnuts, and cooked egg during last few minutes of heating.

Cook's Notes

Fried rice uses left-over rice, of course, but also makes great use of any left-over vegetables or meats. Try adding snow peas or bean sprouts for a really fresh flavor.

Simple sliced oranges or grapes add a cool finish.
