A spicy cousin to the Chinese classic. You can throw in some peanuts for added crunch if you wish. :)

This was a great stir fried rice! Loved the chilis which provided just the right zip. Saw this reviewed today and was looking for a recipe to use left over teriyaki steak so I did make some subs. I halved the recipe and replaced all the meats with about 8 ounces of the steak, however, I left the sauce/ketchup mixture measurement the same (four Tbs alltogether). I used brown rice because that's all I had and added about 1/2 cup frozen peas at the end. The cilantro sealed the deal on this one. Can't wait to have the leftovers.

Really really good. Only change I made were to omit crab meat and add diced salted cashews at the end. I LOVED it. And my honey did too! Can't wait to have some for lunch tomorrow. IT was spicy but just the right amount for me. Thanks for sharing, really good IMO, will definitely make it into the rotation
