In honor of Christmas: One-burner fried rice
Cooled, dry rice (from the night before, for example)
Egg
Shrimp
Frozen soybeans
Carrot, sliced
Canola Oil
Salt
Boil water in a small saucepan. Add soybeans, once they're thawed, add in the carrots, let them cook for a little, cover, and then take the saucepan off the burner (it will continue to cook after it's off the burner, so keep an eye on it). Whisk the egg, adding a bit of salt, oil a frying pan and fry the egg a little. Take the egg off, cut it into curds, and then clean the saucepan. Put the saucepan back on the burner, add more oil, add the shrimp and let them fry until cooked. Remove the shrimp, turn to medium-low heat, add more oil and rice. If the rice is sticking together, cut the block-o-rice into pieces. Strain the vegetables (they should be done by now). Mix up the rice, add some soy sauce to taste. Add the egg and shrimp, allow that to cook a bit longer, and then add the vegetables, stirring continuously. Serve.
If you keep kosher, you can use a kosher meat, like beef or chicken, but in that case, you may want to cook it the night before along with the rice because shrimp does not take long to cook compared to them.
