Thai Veggie Fried Rice

Submitted by Dedee Royale

"Here's a meatless recipe that doesn't suffer from the lack of it. It's nice and spicy for those who like a "kick" to their palates. For extra kick you can add 1 tablespoon of Asian hot chili oil reducing the Canola oil by that much. Chefs Note: Be sure the cooked rice is COLD to the touch or else the dish will come out soggy."

A very easily prepared fried rice dish, with a nice spicy bite to it. The secret is always in doing your prep beforehand. I had cooked rice previously and put it in the freezer, I always try to have rice handy in this manner for fried rice. I used two small tomatoes, and added a finely chopped small zucchini, otherwise I followed the recipe exactly. This was a lovely dinner, quickly prepared in my electric wok, thank you Dedee!
