To go along with my previous stir-fry post, I have two simple yet delicious sides that are sure to be a crowd pleaser:

Fried Rice

Serves: 6 (about ¾ cup each)

All you need:

• 1-2 green onions, chopped (optional)
• 2 large eggs

All you do:

1. Wash and finely chop the green onion.

2. Heat a wok or stir-fry pan and add 1 Tbsp. oil. When the oil is hot, add the eggs. Cook, stirring, until they are lightly scrambled but not too dry.

3. Add cooked rice to the eggs.

4. Stir-fry rice and egg mixture (stir the mixture together).

5. Add soy sauce and green onion.
