Amazing Fried Rice

Fried Rice

Despite being raised by a Midwestern mother, I’m not always up for meat and potatoes.  Don’t get me wrong, it’s a great combination but every night?  No thanks.  So this is an easy side dish that goes great with steak.  Seriously, there is nothing better than a juicy steak with fried rice.  Don’t believe me?  Try it.

1/2 cup rice, uncooked
2 1/2 tablespoons butter
1/2 cup onion, chopped
1/2 cup carrot, chopped
1/3 cup green onion, chopped
1 1/2 tablespoons sesame seeds
2 1/2 eggs
2 1/2 tablespoons soy sauce
1/2 to taste salt
1/2 to taste pepper

Directions:

Cook rice according to package directions.
In a large skillet melt butter.
Add onions, carrots and scallions.
Saute until carrots are translucent.

In a light greased hot skillet pour beaten eggs in
Cook as you would scrambled eggs.
