Confetti Fried Rice


My cooking is influenced by my dad a lot.  His dishes are always really colorful and crisp.  On top of that, my dad makes the best fried rice.  My family tradition is to have a glass of warm sweetened milk with these fried rice.  It’s so good together. 

A Ingredients
Olive oil                                 ¼ cup
Eggs                                        3 heads
Bacon bits                               1 tablespoon
Sausage, chopped                    1 piece
Persian cucumber, chopped    ¼ cup
Tomato, chopped                    ¼ cup
Steamed rice                         4-5 cups            
Frozen sweet peas                   ¼ cup
Chopped Scallion                    ½ cup

B Ingredients
Hondashi                     ¼ teaspoon
Lemon pepper              ½ teaspoon
Ground white pepper    ¼ teaspoon
Salt                                   to taste

Directions:
1. Heat up the olive oil in a wok, add the eggs when the oil is hot enough. Using chopsticks cook the eggs in a circular motion inside the wok, after the eggs are form, add the chopped sausage and bacon bits to wok.  Cook until fragrant, then add the chopped Persian cucumber and tomato to wok, cook for an additional 2-3 minutes, then add the white rice to wok, stir with a spatula. 
. How does one determine if the fried rice is good? Cook until the rice bounces up and down and almost out of the wok, add the frozen sweet peas, chopped scallion, and B ingredients, stir to blend, then place the lid on for about 2 minutes, scoop into serving bowl. 
3. It’s optional to add some chili oil to the fried rice to add a bit of heat!!

Serving: 4
