Dump and bake fried rice

 I like this dish because it is so easy and I can make it ahead in the day if I desire .Recipe found: https://cooktopcove.com/2024/03/20/if-you-are-in-a-bind-this-recipe-is-fabulous-easy-and-tasty/

I used mixed veggies instead of the carrot and peas combo.  At the very end where you add the eggs (If you aren't vegan) I added some left over cooked tofu and some steamed broccoli, bok choy, and cauliflower. I used 1 and 1/2 cups of the mixed vegetables, but could have used more if not adding my steamed vegetables at the end.

Serves 4-6

INGREDIENTS

2 cups uncooked long grain white rice (I used Jasmine)

4 cups chicken or vegetable broth

1 cup frozen peas and carrots mix (I used 1 and 1/2 cups mixed veggies)

1 small onion diced

2 cloves garlic, minced

2 tab of tamari or soy sauce

1 tab sesame oil ( for me optional- it makes it a bit tart as it sits.)

Optional -oyster sauce 1 Tab (I didn't)

Optional---steamed veggies to mix in at the end of cooking cycle.

AT END of cooking: 

2 beaten eggs

1 cup of cooked Tofu, or chicken or ham

salt and pepper to taste (doesn't need salt with the broth)

Heat oven to 375F.   Lightly grease a 13 by 9 inch pan. Spread your rinsed rice evenly over the bottom of pan. Spread frozen veggies evenly over rice. Spread onions and garlic over.

In a bowl mix your broth tamari and sesame oil.  Pour over rice mixture. COVER tightly with foil and bake 45 or until rice tender.k

Remove from oven.  Pour beaten eggs over and add your tofu or meat mixing until the eggs are done---the hot rice cooks the eggs.  Add steamed veggies if using. Season and garnish.

optional : green onions for garnish
