Fried Rice

I love calrose rice. It is the best stuff ever. It is wonderful sticky rice that cooks in about 20 min. I am a big fan of plain white rice but I do occasionally like fried rice. I found that fresh cooked calrose rice is not that good to use when making fried rice, but leftover rice is much better. I try to do everything in one pan so I don't have to clean a lot of stuff later. In a pan I first cook the meat, my preference for fried rice is shrimp, and in a bowl on the side. Then in the pan I scramble up an egg (so far i have only used one but two would be nice too), set aside. Next I saute lots of onion and garlic in LOTS of butter, they are key ingredients. I add the rice to this, fry on medium high for a while stirring constantly. During this time I add some soy sauce to taste. This time I decided to add veggies I had around the house: broccoli, carrots, peppers. I lowered the heat and added all the veggies, shrimp, and egg to the rice, covered and simmered on medium for a while to soften some of the veggies stirring occasionally to make sure it doesn't burn. I then turned up the heat again to do the final frying to taste (I don't like fried rice quite that crispy). I will probably get 3-4 meals out of it, probably 5 if I didn't use part of the white rice with the previous meal.
