Simple Fried Rice

• 1 medium onion, halved from pole to pole; each half cut into 6 wedges
• 4 to 6 ounces meat of choice, cooked or raw, cut into bite-size pieces
• 4 to 6 ounces vegetable of choice, cooked or raw, cut into bite-size pieces
• 1 large garlic clove, minced
• 2 large eggs, beaten
• 4 tablespoons soy sauce
• 4 tablespoons vegetable oil
• 4 cups cooked rice
• 4 scallions, white and green parts, minced

1. 1.
2. Set a heavy-bottomed 12-inch nonstick or cast iron skillet over low heat while preparing meat, vegetable, garlic, and eggs.
3. Marinate the meat in 1 tablespoon of soy sauce.
4. Three to four minutes from making the fried rice, increase the heat to high and turn on the exhaust fan.
5. 2.
6. Put 1 tablespoon of oil and the onion in the skillet; stir-fry until the onion is still crisp but starts to turn brown, about 1 minute.
7. Add the raw meat or vegetable; stir-fry until crisp-tender for vegetables or lightly browned for meat, about 1 minute.
8. Add the cooked meat or vegetable; stir-fry until lightly browned, about 1 minute longer.
9. (If both meat and vegetables are raw or cooked, stir-fry the meat first, giving it a little head start.)
10. Stir in the garlic, then transfer the mixture to a plate; set aside.
11. 3.
12. Put the remaining 3 tablespoons oil in the skillet; heat until shimmering.
13. Add the rice; stir-fry, breaking up clumps, until heated through, about 2 minutes.
14. Add the egg; stir until scrambled, about 1 minute.
15. Return the meat/vegetable mixture, along with the remaining 3 tablespoons of soy sauce and the scallions, to the pan and stir to combine.
16. Serve immediately.
