Breakfast Fried Rice
I had a bunch of leftover rice from Chinese takeout this weekend and, well, wanted breakfast. So I made some breakfast fried rice that turned out rather nicely if I do say so myself. I've been meaning to start posting recipes every so often for a good bit now, but I never seem to get around to it. Maybe now that I've started, I'll do more. But then again, maybe not.



Breakfast Fried Rice

2 TBSP vegetable oil
3 TBSP butter
1/2 c sliced, slivered or chopped almonds
2-3 c cooked rice (leftovers from takeout work perfectly)
1/2 c shredded coconut
1/4 c brown sugar
1/2 c dried fruit (I used a bag of mixed dried berries and some dried cherries, but anything should work)
3 eggs
2 TBSP brown sugar

It should be noted that all measurements are approximate cause I never measure things when I'm cooking (unless I'm baking, but that's a different story.)

Heat up a wok (or frying pan) all nice and hot. Add the oil and butter. Add the nuts and cook about a minute until they get a bit golden. Add everything else except the eggs and second bit of brown sugar. Stir fry for a bit until it's nice and toasty. Mix together the eggs and remaining sugar. Push everything else to the edges of the pan so there's a blank bit in the middle. Pour the eggs into the blank bit and scramble. Some of the rice and such will fall into the eggs; that's fine. When the eggs are just a bit wet still, mix everything into the middle. That's it. Easy AND tasty!
