Welcome

Welcome to Kay's Village Recipes! Some believe the heart of the home is in the kitchen, I believe the kitchen is the heart of the village. It takes a “village” to live life to its fullest and it has nothing to do with geography or how large or small a town you live in. My “village” is inhabited by family members, dear friends, co-workers, and the occasional visitor who is in my life for a short period of time. Each one of these people has a profound impact on my emotional wellbeing as well as the quality of my life, and all have one thing in common…they all love to eat, and I love to cook for them.
On this blog you will find free, family recipes for: homemade soups, breads, apple pie, cakes, candies, snacks, casseroles, main courses, side dishes, appetizers, breakfast, home-style cooking, and so much more.

Kay's Fried Rice

I’ve been making this Fried Rice for over 30 years and never get tired of it.  As written this makes quite a large batch, however, it can easily be cut in half for smaller households.  Leftovers are tasty the next day.  Great side dish.  Enjoy!



Ingredients

3 tablespoons cooking oil
2 eggs, beaten
1 cup diced, cooked ham, chicken, or small bag of frozen salad shrimp (try turkey ham for a healthy option)
4 ounces chopped fresh mushrooms (canned will work in a pinch), chopped
1/3 cup thinly sliced green onion (approx. 2 green onions)
4 cups cooked rice.  Make ahead of time and chill thoroughly.
4 tablespoons soy sauce


Directions

Heat 1 tablespoon oil in a 10 inch skillet.  Add beaten eggs and cook, without stirring, until set.  Slide eggs onto a cutting board (or cookie sheet).  Cut into short, narrow strips.







Heat the remaining 2 tablespoons of oil in the same skillet.  Cook meat, mushrooms and green onions until tender.  Stir in cooked rice and eggs.



Sprinkle in the soy sauce.  Heat thoroughly, stirring often to work in the soy sauce.
