Image From foodnetwork.com
Eggs:
Nonstick cooking spray, for spraying the baking dish
1/2 cup drained canned bean sprouts, patted dry
4 large eggs
2 cloves garlic, grated on a rasp
Rice:
Two 10.6-ounce packages prepared microwavable rice
One 8.5-ounce bag frozen peas and carrots, thawed and drained
1/4 cup soy sauce
1/2 rotisserie chicken (truly, halved right down the middle), meat pulled off the bones and shredded, then chopped
Topping:
1/4 cup French-fried onions, crumbled
2 scallions, white and green parts, finely chopped
Sriracha, to taste
This recipe is a fried rice casserole, but could easily be adapted to use tater tots instead to make it more "Minnesotan". You can use the tots whole, and baked...or let them thaw, and crumble them up before you cook them, which will give you a fried rice texture to them.
For the eggs: Preheat the oven to 375 degrees F. Spray the bottom and sides of an 8-inch square baking dish with cooking spray.
In a medium bowl, whisk the bean sprouts, eggs and garlic.
For the rice: In a large bowl, combine the rice, peas and carrots, soy sauce and chicken. Add the egg mixture and toss to coat. Gently pat into the prepared dish. Cover with aluminum foil. Bake, removing the foil about 10 minutes into baking, until the eggs have set and the casserole is golden brown, 20 to 25 minutes.
For the topping: Serve topped with the fried onions, scallions and a squirt of sriracha to taste.
