  • Step 3: Heat 2 Tbs oil 1-2 minutes, add rice, stir-fry 1-2 minutes, remove from pan and set aside.

  • Step 4: Heat 1 Tbs of oil 1 minute or until hot, add celery (carrots), stir-fry 1-3 minutes, add bean sprouts and mushroom (water chestnuts) and stir-fry 1-2 minutes. Stir in meat (if using) green onions, soy sauce (and oyster sauce) then stir in rice and eggs, stir-frying for about 1-2 minutes. Serve hot.
