One of my favorite meals was made by finding some leftover meat or fish and some cooked rice, and tossing them in a skillet with whatever caught our fancy. When you're good and hungry, a mixed-up quick meal tastes every bit as good as any long pot [long-cooked dish]. And you don't have to wait.

Ingredients

　　1 tablespoon cooking oil

　　1/2 medium green bell pepper, chopped

　　1/2 medium onion, chopped

　　2 eggs, beaten

　　2 cups cooked rice

　　leftover chicken, pork chops, hamburger, fish, shrimp, bacon, or whatever

　　Heat the oil in a skillet. Add the onion and bell pepper and stir-fry 3 minutes. Add the eggs and scramble. Put in the rice and your favorite meat, stir-fry, and the aroma will get your taste buds hungry. Serve immediately for breakfast, dinner, or supper.
