Chinese Fried Rice (Yangzhou or Yang Chow) is simple, delicious, versatile and adaptable. This vegetarian dish can easily be made non vegetarian with the addition of meat, eggs, crab meat, lamb, sausage or shrimp. It can be eaten on its own or as an accompaniment to a main dish @sarchakra

Notes
Leftover rice makes for a great fried rice. If cooking fresh rice, keep it in the freezer for at least half an hour.
I like to use basmati rice for this recipe but jasmine or any short grain rice can be used.
Remember soy sauce has a lot of salt so go easy on any additional salt.
To make this non vegetarian add chicken or pork to the stir fry before adding the vegetables.
Don’t skip the sesame oil- it is a must!
