Team KoalaBunny's Adventures

Koala bear requested that we do something with the big hunk of ham we had leftover from Thanksgiving so here it is, bunny's ham fried rice. This recipe is a combination from 2 different recipes.

Here's what my end result looked like

Ingredients:
You'll need a large wok (4 servings):
2-3 Tbsp of oil (I usually do sesame oil but olive or vegetable works fine)
2 cups of chopped ham - to little cubes
2 cups cooked rice
1/2 - 1 onion - diced
1 cup frozen vegetables - thawed
1-2 Tbsp soy sauce
1/2 Tsp ginger
1/2 Tsp garlic
1/2 Tsp Chinese 5 spice (optional)
2-3 eggs (beaten)

Instructions:

1. Preheat a large skillet or wok to medium heat. Pour sesame oil in the bottom. Add white onion, chopped ham, peas and carrots and fry until tender. Add 1/4 of ginger, 1/4 of garlic and 1/4 of Chinese 5 spice to the mixture.
2. In another smaller pan, scramble the eggs with spatula. 
3. Slide the onion, peas and carrots to the side, transfer the cooked eggs from the other pan into the vegetable mix.
4. Add the rice to the veggie, ham and egg mixture. Use the rest of the ginger, garlic and Chinese 5 spice. Pour the soy sauce on top. Stir and fry the rice and veggie mixture until heated through and combined. That's it!

Since our big snow storm I've been staying at home and making all sorts of food. Here are just some of the things we have made that were good :)

I made chicken breasts baked in cream. Instead of cream, I used our soy yogurt that had too much corn starch (still trying to get the right ratio). It turned out really good. So much so that only two small biscuits were left for our koalas.

I paired it with biscuits from these recipes http://www.cooks.com/recipe/4y5n89vo/quick-and-easy-yeast-biscuits.html and here: http://www.food.com/recipe/fluffy-yeast-biscuits-66895

• 1 pkg. yeast
• 1 c. warm water
• 1/2 tsp. salt
• 3 tbsp. shortening (I substituted with butter)
• 2 tbsp. sugar
• 2 1/2 c. flour

Dissolve yeast in warm water. (I follow the yeast packet's instructions and mix in some sugar).
Add remaining ingredients; mix well. Knead 2-3 minutes.
Roll out dough to 1/2 inch thick.
Cut with a biscuit cutter. (I improvised with the rims of a glass).
Let rise 30-40 minutes until doubled in size on an ungreased cookie sheet.
Bake at 375 degrees for 10-15 minutes or until brown. (Usually it takes 15 min).
