Gung Hay Fat Choy! Try Slow Cooker "Fried" Rice

May 24, 2016

Happy Lunar New Year! If you're looking for a way to celebrate with food, try this convenient, kid-friendly, time-saving version of slow cooked "fried rice" from the blog A Year of Slow Cooking

This is a great way to use up leftovers and takes just minutes to prepare. 

Ingredients

2 cups leftover rice/quinoa (brown rice, etc. totally fine to use)

2 cups leftover rice/quinoa (brown rice, etc. totally fine to use)
3 tablespoons butter
2 tablespoons soy sauce (LaChoy is gluten free)
2 teaspoons worcestershire sauce (Lea Perrins in US is gluten free)
1/2 teaspoon black pepper
1/4 teaspoon kosher salt (or 1/8 tsp iodized)
1/2 diced yellow onion
1 cup of whatever frozen or fresh vegetables you have on hand. (I had a bit of asparagus, some carrots and peas)
2 cups leftover meat, diced (I had leftover chicken and 3/4 of a cheeseburger patty from a restaurant--I told you I was Scottish!)
1 egg (no shell. DUH!)
sesame seeds for garnish (optional)


 

The Directions.

 

Plop everything on in there together.

Mix it around, and cook on high for 2-3 hours, or on low for 3-4. You are only heating everything up and cooking the egg.
