Aromatic Vegetable Fried Rice (Su Cai Chao Fan) image

Apparently the secret of great fried rice is to first toss the cooked rice in peanut oil and then mix in the seasoned vegetables. This rice calls for a clear vegetable stock. You can use a highly processed and scary store bought one :) But for a really authentic and impressive flavour you can go to the minimal effort of making your own. The recipe I use is Recipe#424266 Cooking time does not include preparing the rice.
