Jar cap inspired fried rice

Go to page 1 2 »»

Inspired by a recipe on the cap of a cheez weez jar, my 12-year-old daughter and I “conspired” to make this fried rice dish. I expected the kids to like it, naturally… who can resist a topping like that? But, surprisingly, even my husband enjoyed it!

Jar cap inspired fried rice

I was scrambling for something to whip up for dinner last Monday when my 12-year-old popped into the kitchen and suggested fried rice. I told her we didn’t have enough bits and pieces of meat and vegetables for fried rice. She opened the fridge and started scanning the contents. Then she asked me where the cheez weez was. I thought she was going to have a late afternoon snack. But when she pulled out the jar, it was to show me the recipe on the cap: fried rice with diced hotdogs topped with cheez weez. Then, she said, “Use corned beef instead.” Wow, I thought, very bossy! But I was pleased as well because she was experimenting with substitutes and the ideas were coming out quite spontaneously. And using corned beef instead of hotdogs was a great idea. I said ok. But I reminded her that her younger sister would have a fit if we used up the cheez weez. I suggested making a cheese topping from scratch using a combination of cheddar and mozzarella. The result is what you see in the photo. :)
