Original Recipe Yield 4 servings

Ingredients

1 tablespoon vegetable oil
1/2 cup sliced green onions
1 medium carrot, shredded
1 garlic clove, minced
2 cups water
1 cup uncooked long grain rice
1 tablespoon beef or chicken bouillon granules
3/4 cup Frozen Peas, thawed
2 tablespoons soy sauce
1 1/4 cups chopped cooked ham (optional)
2 eggs

Directions

In a 2-qt. microwave-safe dish, combine the oil, onions, carrot and garlic. Cover and microwave on high for 3-4 minutes or until vegetables are crisp-tender. Stir in water, rice and bouillon. Cover and cook on high for 15-18 minutes or until rice is tender and liquid is absorbed, stirring once. Stir in peas, soy sauce and ham if desired. Cover and let stand for 5 minutes.
Meanwhile, in a small microwave-safe bowl, beat the eggs. Cover and heat on high for 1-1/2 to 1-3/4 minutes or until firm. Cut into small pieces; stir into rice mixture. Serve immediately.
