KRISTI'S SPECIAL FRIED RICE

Kristi's Special Fried Rice image

This is a recipe that I came up with by combining things that like to taste in my rice. The cilantro really kicks up the taste for me. I will add stir fried shrimp and/or chicken if I want to just make the rice the whole meal. If you are using mea, stir-fry it first and sit it to the side.

Ingredients

3 cups water
3 cups instant rice
1 pinch red pepper flakes, or to taste
3 tablespoons vegetable oil
1 egg
1 bunch green onions, sliced
1 clove garlic, minced
2 cups shredded cabbage
1 cup chopped pineapple tidbits
1 cup chopped cilantro
1 cup bean sprouts
1 teaspoon soy sauce, or to taste

Steps:

Bring water to a boil in a saucepan; add rice and red pepper flakes. Cover saucepan with a lid and remove from heat; let stand until water is absorbed, about 5 minutes. Fluff rice with a fork and cool, about 30 minutes.
Heat oil in a wok or large skillet over medium-high heat; cook and stir rice until coated in oil, 15 to 20 seconds. Add egg to wok; cook and stir until scrambled and cooked through, 1 to 2 minutes.
Stir green onions and garlic into rice mixture and cook until fragrant, about 30 seconds. Add cabbage, pineapple, cilantro, and bean sprouts to rice mixture; cook and stir until cabbage starts to wilt, about 5 minutes. Stir soy sauce into rice mixture and cook for 30 seconds more.
