Not Your Ordinary Fried Rice

Usually at the Chinese restaurants, in my experience, there is a plate of rice with some peas and seasonings, a trace of scrambled egg, and it is called "fried rice". This is my version and hearty enough for dinner.

Gather up the players. Sliced celery and carrots, diced onion, scrambled egg, shredded cabbage, steamed peas, brown rice (pre-cooked) and some left over cubed steak -- chicken, pork, or shrimp can also be used.

Heat up some oil in the skillet, add the celery, carrots, and onions. Stir fry until veggies are tender crisp.

Next add in the cooked meat of your choice to brown and warm up.

Shredded cabbage goes in next.

Next comes the steamed peas, scrambled eggs, and the pre-cooked brown rice.

Mix it all up and let the flavors combine; everything gets warmed up. Then gather the ingredients for the sauce. Use equal parts of soy sauce and oyster sauce, add a splash of sesame oil and a dash of hot sauce to your liking.

Add the sauce slowly and stir, don't add too much sauce, just enough to lightly cover all the ingredients. yum, Yum, and YUM.

Tonight we also had mini egg rolls with sweet and sour sauce and hot mustard on the side. Get your chop sticks and get busy eating. Enjoy friends!
