<\/a>Stir-frying vegetables for Chinese-style fried rice. (Photo by Patty Schied)<\/p><\/div>\n\t\t\t\t
Heat 2 tablespoons of vegetable oil (not olive oil) in a wok or large fry pan. When hot add Serrano pepper and green onions. Stir and cook for about a minute. Add remaining vegetables and cook until soft. Add whatever cooked meat you are using and stir-fry until hot. Remove everything from the pan into a large bowl.<\/p>\n\t\t\t\t
Add another two tablespoons of oil and then pour in the egg. Lightly scramble it until firm then remove from pan. Add the cooked rice to the pan and press the rice down and on the sides of the pan with a spatula, turning it so that it gets heated through. Return meat and vegetables to the wok and stir. Add the soy sauce and a teaspoon of the hot pepper oil (or not). Taste for seasoning and add salt and pepper to taste. Fold scrambled egg into rice mixture. Remove from heat and serve.<\/p>\n\t\t\t\t
This will feed two or three normal people. If you are feeding teenagers, this is only a side dish.<\/p>\n\t\t\t\t
