Yesterday it was a half an hour before I had to go to work and I realized that I hadn't eaten any dinner. I knew if I didn't get anything to eat I would get starved at work, and the only thing they have there is a candy and chip machine. So I went to the refrigerator and found some rice from a few nights ago. I pulled out a part of a cabbage and other things and started to make...

FRIED RICE

2 T vegatable oil

2 cups of leftover rice

2 cups cabbage chopped

1/4 cup onion chopped

1/4 jalepeno jeullianed

a couple shakes of powdered garlic, fresh is better

1/4 cup soy sauce

2 T brown sugar

1 egg

Method: I started frying the chopped cabbage & added the oinions. Let them cook down a bit & then added the rice. Always use leftover rice that has been in the refrigerator for at least 24 hours. Freshly cook rice turns to mush when you try to make fried rice with it. Next I added the garlic powder and jalepeno. Then the soy sauce. Sometimes when I've made fried rice I accidentally put in too much soy sauce and the fried rice is a little strong and not too savory. I have learned to add a little brown sugar after the soy sauce, & this makes it just right. When everthing is just about heated through push everything to one side of the frying pan and crack an egg in the pan and scramble it. When it is scrambled combine it with the other ingredients and you have fried rice.

I was able to have a little before going to work, and even had some left over so I put it in a little bowl that had a lit, and put a couple rubber bands around it and took it to work and had it for dinner instead of my usual TV dinner. It was very good microwaved.
