HOW TO MAKE FRIED RICE

I have to give all the credit for this recipe to my eldest daughter Eliza. Eliza brought this recipe home after making it in her cooking class at school.According to  Eliza, her cooking teacher used to be a chef and this is one of his recipes.The photos  below show Eliza proudly holding a sample of the Fried Rice she made, all by herself on Saturday when we had friends over for dinner. I was so proud of how she took on the task, knocking back all offers of help as she insisted that she wanted to honestly be able to say to everyone that she had made it all by herself. The Fried Rice is absolutely delicious and I urge everyone to give it a try!!
