SPECIAL FRIED RICE

Steps:

• Heat 2 teaspoons canola oil in a large wok or skillet over high heat until smoking.

Remove pan from heat and sprinkle green onion and cilantro over the fried rice; toss to mix.

HOUSE SPECIAL FRIED RICE

Steps:

• 1. First, a couple of hints.... 1. A wok would be great, but, not necessary! Use a large sauté or frying pan if you don't have a wok. 2. Heat your pan over medium high heat until it is very hot! 3. Have all your ingredients ready to go when you start cooking. The process goes very quickly! 4. *If at all possible, use cooled or refrigerated rice.

• 5. Cook the veggies until crisp tender (maybe 5 - 6 minutes). Remember, keep everything moving!
