This is not your average fried rice!  Another one of Phil Hickerson’s specialties learned from Tojo Yamamoto, this fried rice is loaded with plenty of veggies and extras.  Serve it as it is for an extra special side dish or add some stir fried chicken, pork, or shrimp to create a flavorful one dish meal.

Soy sauce is what gives fried rice it’s trademark golden brown color.  If you happen to add too much soy for your taste, simply add more rice.
