Cast Iron Fried Rice

For one of our Sturgeon Fishing dinners I bought the Costco Orange Chicken in a box.  This is how we did the fried rice.  It was the best fried rice ever!!

Cast Iron Fried Rice 
Heat 4 to 6 T. oil in 16" fry pan.
Add:
3 to 4 cloves garlic
a bundle of green onions, sliced (about 1 c.)
Stir fry for about 3 minutes.
Add:
16 oz. pkg. frozen mixed vegetables
1 c. ham, diced
1 t. salt
1/2 t. pepper
Stir until coated in oil and cook about 3 minutes.
Add:
8 to 10 c. cooked rice (I prefer cold day old rice & I cook about 3 c. rice)
Stir well.  Bank to sides of pan and make a well in the middle.
Crack 4 to 5 eggs into a bowl and beat lightly.  Pour into the well in the middle of the skillet. Cook until eggs are set.  Stir eggs and once cooked, stir into the rice mixture.  (My fry pan is usually so full that I just cook the eggs in a small fry pan and add them to the rice.) 
Add:
1/4 c. soy sauce or just let them add their own
Stir well.  Serve. 


For a smaller batch:
2 to 3 T. oil 
2 to 3 cloves garlic
1/2 c. green onions, sliced
1 c. mixed vegetables
1/2 c. cooked ham, diced
1/2 t. salt
1/4 t. pepper
2 to 3 eggs
4  to 5 c. day old cooked rice
2 T. soy sauce
