Cambridge Fried Rice

Slighty modified version of Cambridge Fried Rice taken from: Perfect Health Diet: Cambridge Fried Rice.

Ingredients:

• oils
• eggs
• long-grain rice (short-grain rice sticks together and doesn’t work as well)
• plus other ingredients of your choice (peas, scallion, carrots, shrimp, and mushrooms, etc)

• Scramble some eggs. Eggs go well with butter.
• Set the scrambled eggs aside, add new oil to the pan (now we’ll use olive oil), and add any of the miscellaneous ingredients that need cooking.
• Again, set these ingredients aside.
• The long-grain rice should have been cooked, but long enough ago that it has had time to cool and dry. Traditionally, fried rice uses leftover rice — cooked earlier in the day or the previous day.
• Add oil (now we’ll use coconut oil) and rice to the pan, stir until rice has soaked up the oil and is uniformly coated.
• Now return all the ingredients to the pan, mix, and add spices to taste.
• In this case we added salt and pepper, divided the fried rice in two, and added turmeric to one half.
• This is a fat-rich (oils, egg yolks), carb-moderate (rice), protein-light (shrimp, egg whites) recipe with vegetables for good measure.
