Fried rice is one of my go-to recipes. It can be made with any number of ingredients, it just depends on what I currently have in the garden. This version used  cabbage, carrots, peppers (frozen), and onions. I also have been known to put in kohlrabi, greens, peas, roasted chiles  – you name it.

The basis for the recipe is the same. Dice up the veggies and add them to a medium-hot pan of heated olive oil. Add salt/pepper to taste.  I chop the veggies in size based on how quickly they cook. I cut the carrots in smaller dices / thinner slices than the onions. The cabbage I cut in slightly larger chunks. Cook until soft.

I used smoke chicken, that I had previously frozen, but fresh chicken, pulled pork, or brisket also work great.

Once this meat is cooked, mix it in with the veggies.

Separately cook eggs. I like to pan scramble on med-high heat. I tend to cook scrambled eggs to a little drier texture for the fried rice.

At the same time, cook the rice. Once cooked, add in soy sauce and optionally a little siracha. I like to add the soy sauce before the veggies, to keep the fresh flavors of the dish.

Stir rice, veggies, and eggs together and serve.
