Taking a break from AWS (GuardDuty to Kinesis to S3), abuse (just, who is abusing who, here?), I find it is way past snack time and bedtime, but I know I&#8217;ll not sleep without food.<\/p>\n\n\n\n<p class=\"wp-block-paragraph\">Time for a midnight kitchen raid. Searching the refrigerator, I find some cold-cooked rice; in the freezer, I find some frozen shrimp and a partial bag of frozen vegetables. It seems like I have the making for fried rice.  The frozen veggies are a large cut; I&#8217;ll need to give them a quick pass with my knife to generate a smaller cut that will cook quicker. (One uses what one has.) <\/p>\n\n\n\n<p class=\"wp-block-paragraph\">I want to keep this simple: cook the omelet, then slice\/dice, then cook the shrimp, then cook the veggies, then fry the rice, and mix everything, does not qualify as simple. However, my wife had mentioned something about a method she read about where the rice was combined with the egg and seasonings, thence fried. (Yes, dear, I DO listen.)  This method does lend itself to being simple, quick, and tasty.  <\/p>\n\n\n\n<p class=\"wp-block-paragraph\">From Wikipedia:<\/p>\n\n\n\n<p class=\"wp-block-paragraph\"><em>Fried rice is a dish of cooked rice that has been stir-fried in a wok or a frying pan and is usually mixed with other ingredients such as eggs, vegetables, seafood, or meat. It is often eaten by itself or as an accompaniment to another dish. Fried rice is a popular component of East Asian, Southeast Asian and certain South Asian cuisines, as well as a staple national dish of Indonesia. As a homemade dish, fried rice is typically made with ingredients left over from other dishes, leading to countless variations. Fried rice first developed during the Sui Dynasty in China and as such all fried rice dishes can trace their origins to Chinese fried rice.<\/em><\/p>\n\n\n\n<p class=\"wp-block-paragraph\"><em>Many varieties of fried rice have their own specific list of ingredients. In Greater China, common varieties include Yangzhou fried rice and Hokkien fried rice. Japanese ch\u0101han is considered a Japanese Chinese dish, having derived from Chinese fried rice dishes. In Southeast Asia, similarly constructed Indonesian, Malaysian, and Singaporean nasi goreng and Thai khao phat are popular dishes. In the West, most restaurants catering to vegetarians have invented their own varieties of fried rice, including egg fried rice. Fried rice is also seen on the menus of American restaurants offering cuisines with no native tradition of the dish. Additionally, the cuisine of some Latin American countries includes variations on fried rice, including Ecuadorian chaulafan, Peruvian arroz chaufa, Cuban arroz frito, and Puerto Rican arroz mamposteao.<\/em><\/p>\n\n\n\n<p class=\"wp-block-paragraph\"><em>Fried rice is a common street food in Asia. In some Asian countries, small restaurants, street vendors and traveling hawkers specialize in serving fried rice. In Indonesian cities it is common to find fried rice street hawkers moving through the streets with their food cart and stationing it in busy streets or residential areas. Many Southeast Asian street food stands offer fried rice with a selection of optional garnishes and side dishes.<\/em><\/p>\n\n\n","protected":false},"excerpt":{"rendered":"<p>Quick, Easy, Filling.
