Fried rice for dinner

Kroger had something that I had not seen them have before, shaved steak.  I think they meant it to be used in Philly cheese steaks, but I've been on a fried rice kick lately and so I have the makings for another dinner special.  Isn't this rice glorious, you can't beat Basmati rice for most dishes requiring that ingredient. It is flaky and delicious especially if it is prepared with chicken or beef stock instead of water. My fried rice dish has a lot of different vegetables and I just fly freely with generous amounts until I am pleased with the taste, so no recipe.  Here are the two most important things, one prepared way ahead, the rice, and one close to the end of the fry up so that it is still tender and not like shoe leather. Watched for the shaved beef at Kroger, I think you will imagine many dishes in which it can be used.NOTE: Actually I am not crazy about shaved beef in the fried rice.  I think I will try it on a bun and see how that goes.  I probably won't buy it again. The fried rice turned out great, however, without the beef.


I am also thinking of dishes for Easter.  I think we will have a full house again April 1st and we may even be able to have one of the meals outside.  Think spring.
