Fried Rice with Scallops
dinner eggs "leftover grain "leftover use" pasta/grainrice seafood squash vegetables
This is random Wednesday night dinner I made based entirely on the assorted leftovers in my fridge and freezer. It turned out pretty yummy so here it is! First, microwave for 5 mins: - 1 yam, diced While this is cooking, place in a fry pan: - 2 small shallots or 1/3 white onion, diced - some ginger root, diced - 1 small garlic clove, diced - olive oil - dash of sesame oil (this has a very strong flavour, so go easy) - package of frozen scallops Fry up until scallops are defrosted and separated. Crack in: - 4 eggs - some spinach leaves, shredded And cook until you've got a scrambled egg thing going. Don't mix too vigorously - you want the eggs to turn out pretty chunky. Mix in: - cooked yam from above - 2 c. cooked rice. I had a mixture of wild rice and sushi rice kicking around. - liberal dose of soy sauce. At least 2 tbsp. I used kicap manis, but whatever you have would be fine. - Optional: couple saffron threads - additional spicing, whatever floats your boat. Oyster sauce would be a classic addition. Cook it all up until everything is heated through, adding extra olive oil if it's sticking to the pan. Optional: sprinkle with some kind of nut (e.g. sesame seeds, peanuts, cashews). Cooking time: 15-20 mins Serves: 1 hungry person Helpful tips for success: if you have leftovers, don't be a lazybum with the dishes. This will stick to the fry pan if you leave it too long.
