Aromatic Vegetable Fried Rice Su Cai Chao Fan

---

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.
