I take this vegetarian/vegan dish to BBQs and I have to guard it to make sure the omnivores don't scoff the lot before the non-meaters are fed. I usually multiply this several times over as it is so more-ish.

We made this for dinner tonight. Unfortunately, we had guests too come over and they joined in for dinner. I'm very sorry but none of us really liked this rice. Alot went into making it, plus, I doubled the recipe too. Inspite of having so much, it just lacked something. I would strongly suggest using rice that is cooked in vegetable/chicken stock for this recipe, so as to make the dish more flavourful at the end. The biggest failure of this recipe we felt was that it really lacked flavour even though so much went into it.

I ate the whole batch myself! (okay, it took me 2 days) Great fried rice. I especially like the addition of chilies. I used brown rice and omitted the green beans, only because I didn't have any. The flavors were "just right" I didn't even have to add any extra soy sauce!! Usually I do.
