Ninja Fried Rice

We've all been there, although no one wants to admit it. Forgetting the reaction your GI tract had to Thai food last time you had it, you ordered it again being the naughty individual you are. And once again, your GI tract is not letting you forget you got the 3 pepper rated option rather than the 5 pepper rated option because it looked safer. But who really knows what those peppers mean because right now you really can't tell the difference. Now you have leftover Pad Lao in the refrigerator and it's side kick, rice. Rather than revisit last night (and the morning after) try ditching your grease and chili paste stained box and grab the plain rice box instead. With that box, I want you to get your wok-and-roll on and try this leaner version of fried rice.


Ninja Fried Rice

What You Need:
Small Carry-Out Box of rice (about 1 1/2 cup and at least a day old)
1 egg
1 egg white
Cooking Spray
1/2 tablespoon of Smart Balance oil
1/2 tablespoon of soy sauce
1/2 teaspoon of fish sauce
1/4 cup of peas
1/4 cup of onions
1/2 cup of precooked shrimp or grilled chicken (optional)

What to do:
Break up the clumps in the rice, this is important so that the rice reheats evenly, and keep this on a plate. Spray the pan with cooking spray and heat the pan on medium-high. Beat the egg and egg white together, then pour it in the pan. Scramble the eggs, when they are done remove them from the pan and put on a separate plate. Option: if you decided to add meat and it has not been precooked, now is a good time to cook it (remove that from the pan too when done cooking). Next add the oil and rice and heat for 2-3 minutes stirring frequently. Next add the soy sauce and the fish sauce, heat for an additional minute or until the rice is warmed through. Next add the egg, onion, peas, and meat (optional). Heat until the vegetables and meat are warmed through and serve.



Doesn't this look better than what is in that other box?
