Fried Rice

You just can't go wrong with fried rice. Unlike eating fried rice from a Chinese restaurant, cooking it at home can be very healthy. I substitute the usual beef or pork for turkey sausage. Also, I learned from a friend that adding sun-dried tomatoes adds a bit of kick to the dish. Overall, I can say it's safe to add any vegetable you want to make it unique. I usually make a lot and save it in the fridge. Great for packing lunch. YUM!

2 teaspoon olive oil
6 garlic cloves, minced
1 carrot, cut into bite size pieces
1 broccoli head, cut into bite size pieces
salt & pepper
4 diced sun-dried tomatoes (optional)
1 cup turkey sausage (or any meat of your choice), cut into bite size pieces
3 cups of cooked rice (more or less if you prefer)
soy sauce
2 teaspoon sesame oil
3 eggs lightly beaten
2 chopped green onions

1. Heat oil in large sauce pan (or if you have one, a wok) on medium-high heat. Add garlic; sauté for 1 minute or until golden. Add carrots; sauté for 1-2 minutes. Add broccoli; sauté for 1 minutes (I realized adding more oil before cooking the broccoli makes it crispier). Add sun-dried tomatoes and turkey; sauté for 2-3 minutes or until meat is cooked. Season liberally with salt and pepper.
2. Add rice, soy sauce, and sesame oil. Mix until even distribution.
3. Make a well in the center of fried rice. Add the eggs to the center. Carefully mix the eggs with the fried rice as it cooks. Add green onions and mix for 1-2 minutes.
4. Dinner is served. :)

Yields: Plenty!!!
