I love a good fried rice, but around here, the Chinese restaurants sure don't make it like they used to. No veggies, no meat or egg, like it used to come when I was a kid. Really you're lucky to even get some diced onion in it. Most places just give you a bit of white rice tossed with soy sauce. Therefore, I've taken to making it at home myself. Great for a main or side dish for stir-fry or other Asian themed dish.
