Ingredients:
2 eggs
3 tablespoons vegetable shortening, divided
1 cup onions, diced
1/4 cup celery, diced
1/2 cup carrots, diced
2 garlic cloves, minced
2 cups cooked rice, cold
1/4 teaspoon ground ginger
1/4 cup soy sauce
Directions:
Scramble (finely, little pieces) the eggs in a wok. Remove and set aside.
Add one tablespoon of shortening to hot wok (medium high heat) and add onions. Saute (I like mine caramelized a bit) onions to your preference.
Add to wok the celery and carrot. Saute for about ten minutes, stirring often.
Add garlic and saute for another four to five minutes.
Add remaining two tablespoons of shortening to wok and add cold rice.
Cook for about fifteen minutes, stirring every three to four minutes. (I let my rice caramelize also).
Mix ginger and soy sauce together, toss in with rice.
Add scrambled eggs to rice.
Cook, stirring, another five minutes or until your preference.
