We skype with my Dad & Mary on Sunday nights, usually for about an hour. The fridge was wiped clean of of all leftovers (except for brown rice) due to lots of time around home this weekend, so we needed something quick and easy for dinner tonight. They love rice, so I decided to whip up some simple fried rice before our skype date. Of course both kids wanted to help...
S&Z's "Yummy" Fried Rice
1 T. vegetable oil
2 scallions, chopped
2 eggs, beaten
1/2 c. frozen chopped spinach*
1/2 c. frozen peas
1 c. leftover brown rice
Low sodium soy sauce or tamari, to taste
*Usually I use steamed broccoli and/or carrots, but didn't have either on hand and wanted to keep it fast. Spinach packs such a nutritional punch, and it ended up tasting delicious!
In a wok or saute pan, heat oil over medium heat . Add scallions and spinach; cook for a few minutes. Pour in beaten eggs and scramble with the spinach and green onions. Once cooked through, add the rice and peas. Combine and cook over low until everything is heated through. Season with soy sauce to taste.
They loved it!!! And I loved the fact that they were getting a hearty serving of veggies (peas and spinach) and some protein from the eggs. This easy, improv recipe will definitely be added to the rotation.
See what I'm whipping up for Derek & I tonight here....
