Vegetable Fried Rice

Fried rice is very common food for Asian cooking. Depending on the Asian country, the ingredients can be slightly different, but not much. Today, I will show you how to make Korean style vegetable fried rice. There are no particular rules for the ingredients. So, you can use any kinds of vegetables you like. If you add some chopped ham, sausage, or hot dogs, it will be very delicious also. (Just reduce the amount of salt in that case.) I like to make fried rice when I have left over rice in the refrigerator. It is a very good way to use your old rice without wasting it. Plus, if your kids don’t want to eat their vegetables, try this dish for them. Not only is it healthy, but it is also yummy. Thanks!!!

Hehe, does it look delicious? It was delicious. I like to eat fried rice with some kimchi or spicy food since the fried rice taste is kind of mild. To serve, sprinkle some sesame seeds on top. Enjoy~~~
