Curried Fried Rice

Curried Fried Rice

Ingredients:

3 cups cold cooked rice, long-grain white or brown
4 teaspoons peanut oil
8 scallions, thinly sliced
2 teaspoons curry powder
2 carrots, diced and steamed
1 cup steamed chopped green beans
1/2 cup diced lean ham

Preparations:

Place the rice in a shallow bowl; with moistened fingers
separate the grains. In a large nonstick saucepan,
heat the oil. Add the scallions and cook, stirring as
needed until softened, 2-3 minutes.

Add the curry and cook, stirring constantly until just
fragrant (do not burn), for about 30 seconds. Add the
carrots, green beans, and ham; cook tossing lightly,
about 1 minute.

Stir in the rice and 2 tablespoons water; tossing gently
to combine, until the rice is thoroughly coated.

Serve at once.
