Amazing (& Easy) Fried Rice Recipe


I found this recipe on recipetips.com when I was looking for something to do with all our leftover Easter ham. The original recipe calls for ham, but you can use chicken, pork, turkey, or my favorite, shrimp.

Container: large skillet or wok, small fry pan, small bowl
Prep Time: 15 minutes
Cook Time: 10 minutes
Serving Size: 1 cup
Servings: 6

WW Points per serving: 4

Ingredients:
· 2 eggs
· 1 tablespoon butter or margarine
· ¼ cup soy sauce
· 1 tablespoon teriyaki sauce
· Salt and pepper - to taste
· ½ onion – chopped
· 1 ½ cups ham, chicken or turkey - cooked and diced (or whole peeled shrimp)
· 2 green onions – chopped
· 3 cups rice - cooked (I use brown rice)
· 1 can pineapple tidbits (8 oz.)
· 2 teaspoons garlic or 2 cloves garlic, chopped

Directions:

In small skillet, heat butter or margarine over medium-high heat.

Whisk eggs in small bowl. Pour into pan, and scramble until soft cooked. Remove from heat, set aside.

In large skillet, heat 1 tablespoons olive oil or vegetable oil. Over medium-high heat add onion, ham and rice. Stir fry 5-10 minutes until rice is crisped brown.

Add garlic, soy sauce and teriyaki sauce. Continue stirring another 2-3 minutes.

Add in green onions and pineapple, salt and pepper to taste, and scrambled eggs. Heat through, stirring to combine.

This is a great way to use leftover cooked meat and this rice is absolutely delicious! The recipe is 4 WW Points when made with brown rice so that figure not be accurate if made with white rice.
