Fried Rice for Dinner

Ingredients:

• 3 cups cooked and chilled rice (preferably day-old)
• 2 tablespoons vegetable oil
• 1 cup diced vegetables (carrots, peas, corn, and bell peppers work well)

• 2 eggs, beaten
• 3 tablespoons soy sauce

Step 1: Heat vegetable oil in a large wok or skillet over medium-high heat.

Step 9: Garnish with chopped green onions and serve the Fried Rice hot.
