Fried Rice

[Mandy]

I have an idea for a breakfast food...
fried rice with the eggs, but also some sausage and onion. What do you think this would taste like? What else would be good in it? http://www.cookinglight.com/bbs/smile.gif

When I read MrsReber's post under the "October Issue" thread it got me thinkin'. http://www.cookinglight.com/bbs/biggrin.gif

Mandy--

Actually, that sounds something like a Korean dish I used to make, only with ground beef instead of sausage, and with soy sauce, sherry, onion, garlic, sugar, cayenne, kimchi, and sesame oil. If you use sausage instead of all those seasonings, you'll probably wind up with a similar effect -- minus the kimchi, of course. Hmm ... try throwing in some kimchi, or even some plain shredded cabbage, or maybe some bean sprouts, and see what happens. Or just try it the way you thought of, and let us know how it comes out!

Cheers, Phoebe

Mandy, glad I could inspire you! Making fried rice was really alot of fun. I just threw in whatever I wanted and my husband thought it was really good. Sounds good as a breakfast dish, too. I've never heard of that!

MrsR: I think it sounds great. I also think it sounds like you almost have the makings for Dirty Rice. Throw in some cajun spices instead of the soy sauce and you have a whole new dish!

The great thing about fried rice is that it really doesn't have to be Asian. Throw in Mexican spices and you have a Mexican dish. Or curry powder and you have Indian. Or.....

Hi,
Mandy in my opinion that sounds good! I make pots of steamed rice each week & I always have it in the fridge. A couple of times a week my kids scramble a couple of eggs w/ onion & ham or sausage and put it atop their bowl of hot rice, adding pepper & soy sauce. They love it & so do I; it is even good w/out the meat or onion. Sometimes
we fry the rice first then add the ing.
A hot bowl of sticky white rice w/ a couple of scrambled eggs, a dash of soy sauce & ground black pepper is awesome. Try folding all the above into a flour tortilla w/ shredded cheese, YUM! http://www.cookinglight.com/bbs/smile.gif Zinnia
