what’s my take on stir-fried rice

I can say I have tried so many stir-fried rice in the past and amazingly, they all tasted different, none alike?! Who can agree with me? Sometimes I think it depends on the chef’s mood, the kitchen gear used, and seasoning selection! I don’t know about you but I am not a big fan of the overly salty ones, lack of seasoning ones, and overly oily ones. Do you ever get those?? LOL After much practice on my new Wok, I have finally come up with a recipe that I was pleased with and the whole family approved. I hope you will give it a try! It’s as good as restaurant style!!
