This was my go-to meal when I was first married & still in college. Now it's my grandchildren's favorite. Some things stay the same - I use Olive Oil, green onions, and diagonally sliced carrots. After that, it depends on what I have in the frig. Meatless is fine! Experiment, and see how your family likes it. It is a one-dish meal - we serve it in the skillet, so it's easy to clean up too. Chicken goes well in this, or tender meats - you don't want to have something chewy. That last half cup of green beans, the single stalk of celery - this will use all of them up.

How To Make egg fried rice

Step 1

Beat the eggs until well blended. Set aside.

Step 2

Heat a skillet and add the olive oil. Immediately add the sliced carrots.
Step 3

Stir-fry (stir it around with a wooden spoon while it cooks) for a minute.
Step 4

Make a hole in the center, and add the green onions and garlic chives. Stir fry another minute.
Step 5

Make another hole, add some olive oil, and add 1 cup of the leftovers. (Can be veggies, meat, etc.) Repeat until they are all in the skillet.
Step 6

Add the rice, and mix until well blended.
Step 7

Make a large hole in the center, add olive oil, and pour in the eggs. Do NOT touch them for a minute - you want them to start to set.
Step 8

Using the wooden spoon (or chopsticks) drag the egg through the rice. You will see streaks of egg.
Step 9

Sprinkle with soy sauce while the egg finishes cooking. Serve hot.
