Fried Rice

already cooked rice
some kind of cooked meat
scrambled egg
cooked veggies
frozen peas and/or carrots
soy sauce
fish sauce and/or oyster sauce
sugar
cinnamon and/or anise (if you like)
cayenne pepper

***lots of variations on this one. basically: mix the rice with all the pre-cooked ingredients (you can mix in the frozen peas/carrots as well, they will de-thaw in the mix). heat up a frying pan to high heat and put some oil in it. add the rice/meat/veggie/egg mixture to the pan, and pour the soy sauce and other sauces on top, adding spices and pepper to your taste. fry, being careful not to burn. This is a good way to use up leftover rice, and a tasty way to get your veggies.

thanks to leah (who taught me this recipe), who fixed a very boring veggie mix that I made, using a brown rice/veggie mix, using a stir-fry method, but she added allspice and cumin. it came out great.
