This is great veggie fried rice recipe-- great taste, but I found it by one of the Weeknight Recipes and I did not think it can sit on its own as a whole meal. It felt like it was lacking something to make it more substantial. I might keep this recipe in my pocket for other Asian inspired meals as a side-- it's a very easy and good rice.
