tips:
COLD rice (made day before and refrigerated is ideal)
evenly chopped veggies
finely chopped chicken
bit of toasted sesame oil to give authentic Asian flavor

Fried Rice
Serves 4.

3 large eggs, lightly beaten w/ 2 tsp. waer
2 Tbsp vegetable oil, divided
½ tsp. toasted sesame oil
Coarse salt to taste
4 green onions, thinly sliced diagonally (both white and green parts)
4 garlic cloves, minced
5 oz. ham, thinly sliced and chopped (can use cooked chicken, pork, or shrimp as well)
4 cups cold cooked rice
3 Tbsp. rice vinegar
1 cup frozen peas, thawed

In a large nonstick skillet, heat 1 Tbsp. oil, swirling to coat. Beat eggs, with 2 tsp. water and ½ tsp. coarse salt. Cook in skillet, moving cooked eggs aside gently to allow raw eggs to run in their place, about 2 minutes. Transfer to plate; when cool enough to handle, cut into strips.

In same skillet, heat remaining Tbsp. vegetable oil and sesame oil. Add garlic and scallions, heat and stir until fragrant, about 1 minute. Add ham and rice, season with salt, and cook until very hot, stirring often, about 5 minutes. Add vinegar, peas, and eggs, cook until very hot, about 2 minutes.
