This past weekend my friend Rennee Warren made Mexican rice to go with the Mexican Casserole. Us being a family of leftovers, I couldn't let the leftover rice go to waste. Sooo Fried Rice to the rescue.  I took a small onion and fried it in a skillet with a little vegetable spray. Then I took the "secret"  ingredient..... Spam yes you heard or read that correctly.Spam is very salty on its on so make sure you taste as you go. I cubed it into very small pieces and added that to the onion and sauteed.  Below you will find the recipe for the Mexican Rice and the recipe for the Fried Rice.

MEXICAN RICE

2 Tbsp. butter
2 cups regular rice
small diced onion
1 clove garlic, finely chopped
4 cups water
3-4 Tbsp. Knorr® Tomato Bouillon with Chicken flavor

In a large skillet over medium heat butter and cook rice about 2 minutes or until golden brown, stirring frequently. Add onion and garlic and cook a few minutes until onion is almost tender, stirring frequently. Add water and bring to a boil. Add bouillon to taste. Reduce heat, cover and simmer  about 20 minutes or until rice is tender. Remove from heat and let it sit for a few minutes then fluff with fork and its ready to serve.

FRIED RICE MEXICAN STYLE

1 tlb oil
1 egg, beaten
1 small onion, diced
1 tsp minced garlic
2-3 cups cooked Mexican Rice
3 slice Spam, diced
Soy Sauce
1-2 tlb Oyster Sauce*

Place oil in a medium skillet and add egg and fry. Removed cooked egg and set aside. Add onion to skillet and saute until translucent. Add small diced Spam to skillet and saute with onion. Add garlic & saute a few minutes. Add rice and oyster sauce and stir until combined and heated through. Sprinkle Soy Sauce to taste. Remember the Spam is salty so be careful when adding soy sauce.  You can omit the oyster sauce if you dont have any.

Enjoy!!
