California Refried Rice Recipe by Ruth Paget
I use a small rice cooker to make the cooked rice for this recipe.
Serves 6
Ingredients:
-1/4 cup olive oil
-2 beaten eggs
-1 (8.5-ounce) can drained green peas
-2 cups cooked brown rice
-1 cup chopped cooked shrimp or chicken (optional)
-salt to taste
-sesame oil for seasoning
Steps:
1-Heat olive oil. Add beaten eggs and scramble.
2-Add peas, rice, and shrimp or chicken and turn until sizzling hot.
3-Sprinkle with salt and sesame oil at the table for seasoning.
Rice grows in California outside Sacramento. You can usually find some that is reasonably priced in grocery stores like Foods Co.
