Fried Rice

I needed to use my left-over rice from my lamb curry... so, here's the recipe I made tonight:

Fried Rice

INGREDIENTS
1 cup cooked basmati or jasmine rice (substitute brown or white)
1 leek chopped
1 red pepper chopped
1 handful flat leaf parsley chopped
1/2 teaspoon butter
1 egg
soy sauce
kosher salt
fresh cracked pepper
dash lime juice
olive oil

DIRECTIONS
In wok, heat on stove to medium. In small bowl, beat egg with fork and add salt and pepper to taste. Add butter to wok (do not let brown), add egg and cook to medium. Remove wok from flame and set aside egg back in bowl. Return wok to stove and add about 1 teaspoon of olive oil. Sautee leek and red pepper until cooked. Add cooked rice. Cook for 1-2 minutes until heated through. Add soy sauce to taste. Add back the egg. Mix until blended. Add parsley, salt and pepper to taste and dash in lime juice. Cook until the bottom starts to brown, about 5-7 minutes. Serve.

TIPS
When washing and chopping leek, set aside a clear bowl with cold water. Chop leek and fill bowl. Any dirt from the leek will fall to the bottom of the bowl.
Cooking the egg in butter rather than oil gives it a better flavor, but oil can also be used.

To add meat, choose a meat (chicken, beef, pork) and thinly slice or cube. Add to wok after leek and peppers. Brown and continue with recipe.
