Fried Rice and Won Tons

We received Lots and Lots of Bok Choy in our Bountiful Baskets this week.. What to do? What to do? I am posting 2 recipes that my mom has made since I can remember and they are both delicious and my family also agrees..



Fried Rice

4 green onions diced

1/2 cup diced ham

3/4 cups frozen peas

4 slices of precooked bacon diced

olive oil

S&P

*Saute above ingredients in olive oil in a skillet until lightly browned.


3 eggs beaten

*Push all above ingredients to one side of pan and add egg and scramble in pan.
after the egg is completely cooked mix all the ingredients in pan together.



2 cups of COOKED rice (I use 1 cup of brown rice and 1 cup of white rice) I do NOT use instant. I think it doesn't taste the same when you make this recipe.

*Add 1 cup at a time of the cooked rice into pan and mix together after each cup. Keep stirring and sauteing all the ingredients till heated all the way through.. Then add Soy Sauce to taste.

Won Tons

1 1/2 lbs of hamburger

1 bunch of bok choy sliced thin (I pull each leaf off and rinse good and then slice in thin strips)

1 medium carrot shredded (I use a potato peeler and just peel strips of the carrot until it is almost gone)

3 green onions diced

soy sauce (I usually put about 4 or 5 shakes but you can do more)

1/2 tsp ginger

S&P

*Mix all the above ingredients together for filling.


egg roll wraps

(I have always bought the won ton wraps, but they did not have them the day I was at the store so I ended up getting the egg roll wraps instead and they seemed to work better. They were bigger and I could wrap them up better to seal in the ingredients. You can still use the won ton wraps if you chose. They are smaller and you do not need as much filling inside.)

Place an egg roll wrap on a plate and add a good amount of filling into the center of the wrap. Spread out a little like in picture


Fold over at a diagonal (I add a strip of water with my finger on the 2 sides I'm going to connect, to help hold them together.)



*Now fold in each corner and then the top.

*Deep fry in a fryer (If you do not have a fryer you can fill a pot with oil and fry that way but it does make a mess.) **Make sure you put them fold side down in fryer and make sure you cook them long enough to make sure the meat is cooked all the way through. I always check the first one I cook by cutting it in half and checking the insides.


*Serve with salsa. (We have always dipped the won tons in salsa but I'm sure sweet & sour and a maybe a hot mustard would also be good.)
