Fried Rice

If there were a mascot to our kitchen, this would be it. I don't think it's anyone's actual favorite, but it's in everyone's top five, there's veggies involved, and no one complains. Plus, very few dishes. Yay. 

Ingredients:

FRIED RICE:

1/2 sweet onion, diced

1 bell pepper (I prefer orange), diced 

1 cup sugar snap peas, lightly chopped

3 eggs, lightly beaten

2 garlic cloves, minced

2 t fresh ginger, minced

4 cups cooked rice, chilled

1/4 cup Buchan's Japanese barbecue sauce* 

3 tablespoons butter

3 tablespoons sesame or avocado oil

salt and pepper, to taste

optional: everything but the bagel seasoning

toasted sesame oil

*you can totally just use soy sauce but this stuff is so good

**I usually serve this with chicken or steak, marinated in a teriyaki or ginger sauce (the Buchan's Japanese dipping sauce is also good as a dipping sauce). 

Preheat very large skillet so that it is very hot. Add half the butter and oil, then onion and and peppers. Cook for a few minutes, until the onion is translucent. Add the garlic and Ginger. Let cook for one minute. Add the last of the butter and oil, eggs, rice and snap peas. Toss and let cook, stir frequently for a few minutes. Add the soy sauce, toasted sesame oil and seasonings. Stir to distribute, and push this to one side and turn down the heat to low or simmer. 

Add the meat to the side that's still hot and cook until cooked through. 

Top with Yum Yum sauce

(these measurements are estimates)

1/2 cup mayonnaise

1/4 cup ketchup

1 tablespoon sriracha sauce

1 t sugar

2 t rice vinegar

1/2 t garlic powder

salt and pepper, to taste

It's best if you make this ahead of time so the flavors and get all happy together
