Ingredients Method

Ingredients
  

  • 2-3 carrots
  • 1/2 an onion about a 1/2 cup chopped
  • 2 cups chopped broccoli
  • canola coconut or vegetable oil for stir frying
  • 3 large eggs
  • 2 cups cooked meat sausage or shrimp (optional)
  • 3 cups cooked white rice
  • 1/2 teaspoon grated ginger
  • 1-2 tablespoons soy sauce

Method
 

  1. Peel and chop the carrots and onion. Have all the veggies and meats chopped and ready to go
  2. Heat 1 tablespoon of oil in your wok
  3. Beat the eggs and scramble them in the hot oil. Use your spatula to chop the scrambled egg up a bit. I like to soft scramble the egg because it will continue to cook in the hot rice.
  4. Remove the scrambled egg from the wok-skillet and set aside
  5. Add more oil to the wok/skillet if you need and stir fry the vegetables and meats in batches. Remove this from the skillet and set aside
  6. Break up the rice and stir fry it add the grated ginger and soy sauce and stir fry to coat.
  7. Add the eggs, veggies and meats back to the wok/skillet
