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

This was my first time making fried rice - and my husband even ate it!
