I made this as written with the exception of the vegetables. I used 4 C of frozen stir fry mix and added a few handfuls of broccoli. I also cut back on the ginger a bit because others don't like it too hot. We both thought it was delicious and I will definitely make this again.

I love this recipe because it is very adaptable to whatever vegetables you have on hand -- I used asparagus instead of zucchini and green peppers instead of red. It's a great "clean out the fridge" recipe. Best if the rice is made ahead of time and then cooled.
