Chicken Fried Rice

This is a simple dinner or side dish.  Feel free to add any kind of meat you want.  I buy the vegetable mix in the freezer section.  I like having the variety of vegetable in my fried rice opposed to just peas and carrots.

Ingredients:

2 cups of rice, cook according to directions (I use brown rice)

2 cups frozen vegetable mix

2 chicken breasts, cut into very small pieces, salt and pepper as desired

1/2 cup soy sauce, I use light...use soy sauce to match the flavor you like

3 eggs

1 teaspoon siracha hot sauce

Steam rice according to directions.  While steaming rice, cook chicken in a frying pan and remove.  Crack eggs into same pan and scramble, breaking into smaller pieces.  Once egg is scrambled and fried, add in cooked rice, soy sauce and hot sauce if desired.  Stir and fry the rice.  Add chicken and vegetables.  Cook until vegetables are heated thoroughly.

Garlic Curry Aioli

I served this with the sweet potato fries.  Make it up a day ahead of time.  It has a lot more flavor after it has sat overnight.  Its not a real Aioli, but it is close!

Ingredients:

1/2 cup mayonnaise
1 teaspoon crushed garlic
1 tablespoon lemon juice
1 teaspoon curry

Combine all ingredients.  Refrigerate overnight.

Sweet Potato Fries

I love sweet potatoes and its that time of the year again.  I had picked some up at the grocery store to make some steak fries.  Here ya go...

Ingredients:

2 pound of sweet potatoes ( 2 large)

Salt & Pepper to Taste

1/2 teaspoon nutmeg

Clean the potatoes, you can choose whether or not you want the skins.  The skin is my favorite part, so I leave it on.  Cut the potatoes into large wedges.  I cut in half the long way and then slice, cut the slices in half, etc.  Cut them to the thickness and size of your liking.  Spray a 9 x 13 baking pan and add in potatoes.  Season with salt, pepper and nutmeg.  Bake at 425 until tender.  Mine took about 45 minutes.
