House Fried Rice

You can pun in more veggies or different meet if you want to. This is easy but takes prep work. My advice would be to do all the prep early in the day. Dice the onion, carrots, celery, etc...when you have time in the day. Put it in baggies or something. Then just throw it together when you are making dinner. The kids loved this and I served it with the homemade Chow Mein. It was a hit. If you want to add the Lettuce Wraps to it, that would be really good as well. Just prep everything ahead of time! You have to get the crunchy Chow Mein noodles to have with this as well. The kids loved them with it.

1 1/2 cups uncooked white rice
3 tablespoons sesame oil
1 small onion, chopped
1 clove garlic, chopped
1 cup small shrimp - peeled and deveined (I omit this)
1/2 cup diced ham (or add some cooked, crumbled bacon)
1 cup chopped cooked chicken breast
2 stalks celery, chopped
2 carrots - peeled and diced
1 green bell pepper, chopped
1/2 cup green peas
1 egg, beaten
1/4 cup soy sauce

Cook rice according to package directions. While rice is cooking, heat a wok or large skillet over medium-high heat. Pour in sesame oil and stir in onion. Fry until golden, then add garlic. When garlic is lightly browned, mix in shrimp, ham, and chicken. Fry until shrimp is pink.Lower heat to medium and stir in celery, carrot, green pepper, and peas. Fry until vegetables are crisp-tender. Stir in beaten egg and cook just until egg is scrambled and firm.When rice is done, mix thoroughly with vegetables and stir in soy sauce. Adjust seasoning to your preference and serve immediately.
