Healthy Recipe of the Week

As a child through my young adulthood I remember going to dinner with my family and friends at a local Chinese restaurant, Fu Yuan Low, multiple times per month (or even week). Whether it was a quick bite after a busy day, Sunday night ritual, or a birthday celebration, they had the best Chinese food, and simple. While the decor was not fancy, the owners and staff were kind. One staple menu item I remember ordering each time was their vegetable fried rice, which even had pieces of egg. While I do not have this savory recipe, this fried rice recipe sounds like a close second!
