Recipe Introduction


The recipe for Easy Fried Rice can be assembled several hours ahead and just reheated before serving. You bake the rice instead of stir-frying it.

An added bonus, any leftover cooked chicken, turkey or even ham (about 1 to 11/2 cups), can be stirred in before baking to turn it into a main dish.

List of Ingredients




1 tablespoon butter
1/4 cup chopped blanched almonds
2 tablespoons vegetable oil (we used canola)
6 medium scallions, chopped (do include an inch of green)
1 cup diced celery
2 cups cooked long-grain rice
Salt, to taste (remember the soy sauce is salty)
2 tablespoons soy sauce, or to taste





Recipe



In a small skillet, melt the butter over medium heat. Saute the almonds about a minute, or until they begin to take on color. Set aside.

Butter a 1-quart casserole dish. Set aside.

In a medium skillet, heat the oil over medium heat. Saute the scallions and celery about 11/2 minutes, or until they are soft but not brown. Stir in the rice, salt and soy sauce; mix well. Transfer to the prepared casserole dish. Can be made ahead to this point and kept loosely covered for up to an hour.

When ready to bake, preheat the oven to 350 degrees. Bake in the center of the oven 20 to 30 minutes, or until heated through. Sprinkle the reserved almonds over the top just before serving. Makes 4 servings.
