Skillet ?????? Honestly Jack , Ya Wok it.

Ya do have a Wok , Don't you.
If not then wok down to the store and get yourself a wok and some bamboo utensil's to use with it.

They said skillet because it was from Southern Living and all southerners think of anything you cook stuff in as a skillet , even if it is not cast iron and with high sides without a real handle and can double as a helmet.

PS. I bet you could substitute grits for the rice if you lived in south china.

In a pig's gazarium!

I have two woks. I use either one - or cast iron for fried rice ("go-han" in Japanese. "Cow pot" in Thai but I misspelled it)

Fellas,

I went ta the kitchen fer somethin' (caint recall what now) when fried rice flung a cravin' on me. I pulled out the Black 'n Decker 'n fired it up. Fried rice iz purty dang eazy. Miz Bear haz some of the little green peas in the ice box, which iz one of my favorites in fried rice.

I dont know what else will go in it, cept fer some wild garlic, onion, eggs, olive oil 'n Zatarains. I mix a bit of wild rice in with the long grain brown. Wish I had some cashew pieces. :cry:

A caveat. The "cooked rice" should be previously cooked and cooled. Should not go in hot.

A variant. I add the eggs last, stirring them briskly into the hot, cooked mess. They cook readily form the hot food, and help bind it together. (That's the way my friend, Kaneko, a Japanese restaurant, owner taught me to do it.)
