"Fried" Rice

"Fried" Rice

1 cup uncooked white rice and water
2 eggs, beaten
1 cup frozen peas
2 Tablespoons finely grated carrots
1/4 cup diced onions
light soy sauce or my "fauxy" sauce

Cook rice according package directions. I really like to use my steamer for perfect rice every time! Rice can be made the day ahead.
Scramble your eggs.
Toss all the ingredients into wok or non stick pan and cook until the veggies are done. I don't add any oil to my pan and it's still yummy. You can 'fry' your rice if you like. Add soy sauce to taste.
Sometimes I just do peas and don't do carrots or onions. Still tasty!

Broccoli Chicken

Broccoli Chicken 

1 pound chicken breast cut into strips (can also substitute finely sliced beef)
1-1/2 teaspoons diced garlic
1 T sugar
1/4 cup soy sauce
1/4 cornstarch
1 Tablespoon canola oil
1 head broccoli

Steam broccoli until it is as soft as you like. My family likes it soft!
Mix the garlic, sugar, cornstarch together.
Marinade meat in it for up to 1/2 hour.

Cook in oil in hot wok or other non-stick pan.

Add in broccoli (you might not need whole head) and serve with fried rice .

Egg Gravy

This is something my husband's family grew up eating. Great way to use up hardboiled eggs.

Egg Gravy

1/4 cup butter
1/3 cup flour
2-1/2 cups milk
7-8 hardboiled eggs (sliced 2-3 times in slicer depending on how you'd like your chunks)
toast

Heat butter in saucepan, add flour and cook for 1 minute, add milk and heat until thick.
Add eggs and stir.
Serve over toast.

This one is not my cup of tea but if you are from my husband's family you grew up on it!
