Veggie Fried Rice

One of Jason's favorite foods is restaurant style Chinese fried rice. In addition to baking each evening while he was gone, I also came up with a fried rice that comes pretty close. I love it, and I think Jason will too.

So, the thing with this recipe? It's vegan. But it still has that "egg" aspect to it. and it tastes awesome.

This is how it begins. I could eat a whole pan of just this.

Do you like Chinese food? Like, American Chinese food? If you like fried rice, I hope you try this!
