Vegetable Fried Rice

Chinese fried rice is such a crowd favorite, I don't even need to give it an introduction. It is probably the most popular item to order at Chinese restaurants. I know I can't resist ordering fried rice at a Chinese joint.

What people don't know about it is how easy - and convenient - it is to make yourself. Chinese fried rice is like the Mexican frittata - a delicious way to use up day old leftovers from vegetables and meats to rice. All you have to do is use a couple ingredients and you've got a delicious meal in 20 minutes.

Happy (belated) Chinese New Year's everyone! Gong Hey Fat Choy!

Ever since I was really young, I've been fascinated with all aspects of Asian culture. Growing up in a neighborhood that was 90% Asian only helped in fueling that interest. Listening to conversations in Mandarin, watching the Korean moms haggle in the stores, and hanging out with the elderly ladies who practiced tai chi in the park was the norm for me. It was also inevitable that I started to love Chinese food.
