Fried Rice
Not only is this one of the easiest fried rice recipes that I've ever attempted, it's also the best tasting. Feel free to add your own personal touches to the recipe, as I imagine it'd be even better with add-ins like shrimp, chicken or pork.

Ingredients:
1 cup uncooked, instant white rice
5 tablespoons butter or margarine
1 cup chopped onion
5 ounces (half of a 10-ounce box) frozen peas and carrots, cooked
2/3 cup chopped green onions
5 eggs
3 tablespoons soy sauce
Salt
Pepper

Cook rice according to package directions. Set aside.

In a large skillet, melt butter. Add onions, peas and carrots and green onions. Saut矵ntil onions are translucent. Set aside.

Lightly grease another skillet. Beat eggs. Pour into hot skillet and cook as you would scrambled eggs. Combine rice, vegetables and eggs. Add soy sauce and stir. Salt and pepper to taste.
