I've made a Chinese fried rice recipe from Martha Stewart. I've used the leftover plain basmati rice which I cooked from my previous post here, well, I have cooked more rice as I've already plan to have the leftovers for this fried rice. I have been out the whole day, and came back late in the evening, since there are only the two of us, hubby and me, I've cooked this simple Shiitake Fried Rice, which is meat-free, and suitable for vegetarians.
Very simple and easy. At first it was a little bland, but a seasoning of salt to taste and lots of white pepper powder really makes a difference. Told my hubby that we are having vegetarian fried rice tonight, no meat! After a couple of spoonfuls, he says that it is very nice! We like the crunch of the snow peas!
Simple and healthy!
