MONDAY BLUES - CHINESE FRIED RICE AND CRANBERRY SCONES

My original  plan was to make Banh Xeo the Vietnamese Pancake..how ever I  had to change my  plan when I saw the leftover rice from  last night dinner. I made this Chinese Fried Rice. A very..very simple ingredients..using what ever ingredients I had in the fridge. I used shrimps and some mix vegetable...a standard Chinese Fried Rice. Sprinkle with some sesame oil and serves with chili padi (bired's eys chili pickels)

Chinese Fried Rice

1 - 2 green onions, as desired

2 large eggs

100 g shrimps - shelled and deviened 

1 teaspoon salt

Pepper to taste

4 tablespoons oil for stir-frying, or as needed

1/4 cup mixed vegetables

4 cups cold cooked rice

1 - 2 tablespoons light soy sauce or oyster sauce, as desired

1-2 tsp sesame oil.

Preparation:

Wash and finely chop the green onion. Lightly beat the eggs with the salt and pepper.

Heat a wok or frying pan and add 2 tablespoons oil. When the oil is hot, add the eggs. Cook, stirring, until they are lightly scrambled but not too dry. Remove the eggs and clean out the pan.

Add 2 tablespoons oil. Add shrimps and cook till it changed color. Add the rice. Stir-fry for a few minutes, using chopsticks or a wooden spoon to break it apart. Stir in the soy sauce or oyster sauce as desired. Finally add the mixed vegetables and sprinkle with a few dash of sesame oil. 

When the rice is heated through, add the scrambled egg back into the pan. Mix thoroughly. Stir in the green onion. Serve hot.
