Fried Rice with Shrimp or Chicken

Ingredients:

2 cups uncooked basmati or jasmine rice
1 cup water
1 cup chicken stock
1/2 cup frozen peas
1/2 cup frozen carrots
1/2 cup chopped green onions
2 eggs
3-4 tablespoons canola oil (or peanut oil)
2 tablespoons soy sauce
1/2-1 lb chicken, cubed OR shrimp

Directions:

Cook your rice with 1 cup water, 1 cup chicken broth. You want it a bit on the crunchy side, so even though you might want to add more water, DON'T. You either need to cool this completely, or cook it the day before. If you don't, it will be gloppy.

Cook chicken or shrimp in a little bit of oil/butter. Set aside.

Heat a wok over high heat with 1 tbs. of oil. Add eggs and scramble until cooked. Add peas and carrots and fry for about a minute.(You can add or omit any veggie/meat combo you want.)

Remove omelet from wok. Clean the wok out a bit so the leftover egg doesn't burn while you're heating up your wok and oil again.

Add remaining oil to the wok and heat over high heat until it is very hot. Add your cold rice to the wok and stir to coat every grain. (You can add some more oil if you want; it just depends on how greasy you like it.).

Stir fry for a while, stirring constantly until there is no liquid left, then chop up your omelet and add it, along with the soy sauce. Stir. You can add more or less soy sauce according to your taste.

Add in chicken/shrimp and green onions. Stir. Serve.
