pancetta fried rice
(long grain rice is a lot better to fry than short grain rice cuz short grain rice is a lot stickier)





*pancetta, cubed (you can buy them cubed already) - fry, remove from pan, and drain on paper towel - set aside
*scramble eggs, remove from pan and set aside

other ingredients:

*2-3 cups day (or two) old cold rice ( i use brown jasmine rice but it's preference)
* two scallions, julienned
*half of a large onion, chopped
*garlic, chopped/minced (i use 4-5 cloves but 2 large cloves will probably be good - again preference)
*1/2 cup of frozen peas & carrots (thawed)
*2-3 tsp of canola oil

***you can add any veggies you want and any oil you prefer or any meats... that's the genius of fried rice

directions:

1) in a wok, med-high heat, sautee the garlic & onions until onions are transparent
2) add the rice and fry, constantly stirring (if it starts to stick in your pan, add a little more oil)
3) then add all the veggies, pancetta, and scrambled eggs
4) if you want and this is optional... add 1/3 cup (or less is probably better...um watch your sodium intake) of soy sauce - i usually don't add soy to mine because of the sodium. besides we put sriracha hot sauce over it anyway.

wala...fried rice.
