"Faked" Fried Rice

Traditionally fried rice is made using a high temp oil, day old rice and various extra's such as peas, pork, scallions, onion and egg. This "faked" version cuts out almost all the oil but still has plenty of flavor.

Ingredients:

1tbs veg oil
1 clove garlic, minced
1 tbs fresh minced ginger or about 1/2 tsp powdered
1/2 bunch scallions, chopped, greens included
1 1/2 tbs soy sauce
1/2 c peas
2 c long grain rice
4 c veggie stock
Optional:
small onion, diced
1 egg, quickly scrambled

Directions:
In a large sauce pan, over high heat cooked the rice, garlic, and ginger; in the veg oil stirring frequently until toasted but not browned. Add in the pea and onion if using and give another stir to mix them in. Add in the stock then the soy sauce. Bring to a boil then reduce to a simmer. Cover and let cook for 15 mins or until all the liquid is absorbed. Stir in the scrambled egg if using and the scallions.
