Camouflaging the leftovers-


Fried Rice-

1 egg, beaten
3 T. vegetable oil
3/4 lb leftover beef roast, sliced thin
handful of sliced mushrooms
4 cups cooled cooked rice (long grain)
1 c. frozen peas (I think I used peas and carrots)

Top with:
3 T. soy sauce mixed with 2 T. water and a dash of garlic powder
1 green onion, sliced

In a large frying pan, heat 1 T oil over medium heat until it shimmers.  Add egg (just pour it in one spot) making an egg 'pancake'.  When cooked, remove to cool.  

Add the remaining oil to the pan, and lightly fry the beef, adding in the mushrooms after about 3 minutes.  When the mushrooms are partly cooked, add the rice and peas.  While they are heating, dice up the egg into thin small strips by rolling the pancake up, and slicing off little "snails" about 1/4" thick.  Cut each snail in half.  

When the rice and peas are heated thru, add the soy sauce mix, lifting and stirring to mix well.  Garnish eggs and green onion.

Serves 4.
