chinese food eggs fried kid-friendly recipe rice side dish stir fry veggies

Stir Fried Rice with Veggies

stirfryrice7 (800x600)

I love making stir fry rice. It’s a great way to use up leftovers of veggies and rice and get a delicious dish in.

My husband loves to just make a big pot of white rice every so often, and he adds milk and sugar to it and eats it as a little meal, kind of like oatmeal. So when he does that, there’s often leftover rice. Stir fry rice actually works best with rice that has been cooked previously, usually 2-3 days before hand. When it’s being stir fried it’s less likely to get soggy and mushy, and is able to keep it’s shape more.

I make this differently every time. It varies according to whatever vegetables I have on hand, but it’s delicious every time. Keep in mind, this is not authentic stir fry, it’s more “inspired”. The kids love it though, so it’s great for us, and that makes Mama Harris a happy mama!

Ingredients:

  • 2 green onions
  • 1/2 red bell pepper
  • one medium carrot
  • 1/2 zucchini squash
  • 1-2 tablespoons freshly ground ginger
  • 3 large eggs
  • salt and pepper to taste
  • 4 tablespoons peanut oil for stir-frying, or as needed
  • 4 cups cold cooked rice
  • 1-2 tablespoons light soy sauce

Directions:

stirfryrice1 (800x600)

Wash all your veggies. Finely chop the green onion, cut the bell pepper in small pieces, cut your carrots long ways in small stir fry strips, and cut the zucchini in slices, then quarter the slices.
Heat about 2 tablespoons of the oil in your wok or pan. Beat the eggs in a bowl and add salt and pepper for flavor. When the oil is hot enough, pour eggs in your pan and lightly scramble.

stirfryrice2 (800x600)

Remove the eggs from pan and place in a bowl to the side. Clean out the pan, then heat another 2 tablespoons of oil. Once oil is heated, add your cooked rice. Stir fry for a few minutes, use a spoon or chop sticks to separate the rice so it’s not clumpy. Add soy sauce if desired. (you can leave this part out and each person can add their own)

stirfryrice3 (800x600)

When the rice is cooked through and a good consistency, stir your eggs back in.

stirfryrice4 (800x600)

Now add in your fresh ginger. Yum! I LOVE ginger!

stirfryrice5 (800x600)

Next, dump the rest of your uncooked veggies into the pan.

stirfryrice6 (800x600)

Mix and stir it all together and let it cook over the heat for a few minutes, usually until the carrots are slightly tender

stirfryrice8 (800x600)

Looks ready!
I absolutely adore colorful foods, to me there’s nothing better than beautifully colorful veggies and fruits in every meal. Delish!!

Serve while still warm. Enjoy!

[Sponsored]: Summertime is coming and will be here before we know it! You all know that I love easy meals during the warmer months, and I also love a good meal in a bowl. It’s also Vidalia Onion season 🧅 so I paired this seasonal favorite with pan-seared shrimp and veggies as a light rice bowl using your choice of grains.☺️This meal is an absolute delight!

Get the recipe and all the Vidalia Onion details by clicking the link in my profile or desktop users can click here for the recipe >> https://mamaharriskitchen.com/2021/06/pan-seared-shrimp-veggie-rice-bowl-vidalia-onions/ .

Also make sure to grab some Vidalia Onions from your local grocer before they are out of season in late August/early September.☀️

This time of year I love warm, comforting recipes that are super easy and delish. This ridiculously easy Chicken Tortilla Soup is a one pot meal, ready in under 30 minutes and uses already prepared rotisserie chicken for maximum flavor (and ease)! With a tasty blend of flavors and textures, it’s like a bowl full of comfort.

(AD) There has been a lot of cooking going on this year, so I’ve tried to make life a bit easier by getting creative with my leftovers. These pulled pork totchos are a great example of leftovers with a few key ingredients to create something new to keep our meals exciting. Adding a few key ingredients like @lamorenausa adobo peppers and jalapeños and carrots definitely livens up something simple. La Morena peppers are hand selected, using only the highest quality peppers to bring you authentic home style flavors of Mexico. I purchased my La Morena items from my local Safeway, but you can find them at your favorite grocery store in the international food section. #PayItForwardwithLM #VivaLaMorena #WeCanWithLaMorena 
 
INGREDIENTS:
- 32 oz tater tots
- 2 cups shredded cheese (Mexican blend + Pepper Jack)
- 2 cups prepared bbq pulled pork (check my pulled pork sliders recipe!)
- 1/2 can La Morena Adobo Peppers & Sauce
- 2 tablespoons sour cream 
- 2 tablespoons ranch dressing
- 1 cup pico de Gallo
- 1/2 cup guacamole
- 3 chopped green onions 
- 3-4 La Morena jalapeños and carrots, sliced

INSTRUCTIONS:
Prepare tater tots as instructed, in air fryer or oven. Heat oven to 450°. 
Cover the bottom of a large cast iron skillet with the cooked tater tots. 
Top with 1 1/2 cup of cheese. 
Combine the chopped adobo peppers and sauce with the prepared bbq pulled pork. Spread the pulled pork mixture on top of the tater tots, then top with the remaining cheese.
Bake in the preheated oven for 5 minutes.
Top with sour cream, ranch, pico de Gallo, guacamole, green onions, and sliced jalapeños and carrots.

Enjoy!! 😋

Happy December, all!! 🎄Since it’s basically Christmas now, it’s time to share ALL the holiday cookies! 

Every year I join my friend @natashanicholes as she heads up her #HousefulofCookies virtual cookie swap, where many of us share some sweet treats for the holiday season. 

This year I’ve created Cranberry Pistachio Citrus Cookies to share as my contribution. 🍪 I know that a lot of things have turned “virtual” throughout this year, but a little virtual bake-off is a fun way to connect with some of your favorite people!

Hello Instagram fam! 💖 There’s some new faces around here and it’s been a while since I showed mine!

I’m Dawn, creator of Mama Harris’ Kitchen, and I’m so glad you’re here with me! In this space I share my family-friendly recipes for all occasions, whether it be a 30-minute meal for those busy weeknight dinners or a full spread for entertaining a crowd - and everything in between.

Mama Harris’ Kitchen began back in 2012, in fact it’s 8 years this month! 🥳  What started as a way to document my newfound cooking hobby while managing my “new” life as a stay-at-home wife and mom to a 1 and 3 year along with teens and preteens, and it quickly grew into what it is now - a recipe resource for busy families like mine that enjoy flavorful and comforting home-cooking using pantry staples along with fresh and local ingredients as often as possible. 

🍿Five fun facts about me:
1. I LOVE elephants! 🐘 I collect a lot of elephant items, whether it’s trinkets or  artwork, notepads etc. I love what elephants symbolize and I truly love anything elephant related.
2. I’m a total plant lady! 🌱 I have about 35 houseplants, give or take, and there’s still more on the list of wants. Plants have become such a peaceful outlet for me, and I feel that they really center me within my space. I love the element plants bring to your space and the feel of your home with them in it, and new leaves are so exciting!
3. I have seven tattoos and I have plans for about eight more. 💉 Those that know me aren’t surprised, but those that follow me here tend to find it a bit surprising. 🙃
4. I’ve been a mother for a long time, over half my life! I’ve also been a lot of different “types” of mom - teen mom, single mom, working mom, stepmom, stay at home mom, PROUD mom, military mom, mother in law - the list goes on. No matter what, motherhood looks different for everyone and there’s unique challenges and experiences each mother faces. Please be gentle with yourself! ❤️At the end of the day we’re all just trying our best!
5. I’m a bit of an introvert, and often struggle with the “social” aspect of social media. I tend to go silent sometimes, but I’m working on it.

☀️Thank you for joining me here!
