Cooking instruction summary:

To cook the rice, place one cup of long grain rice (I used half brown, half white) in a medium pot with 1.75 cups of water (1.5 cups water for white rice only). Bring to a boil over high heat with a lid in place. Once it reaches a rolling boil, reduce the heat to the lowest setting and let simmer for 30 minutes. Turn the heat off at thirty minutes and let rest with the lid in place until ready to use. Do not remove the lid or stir during the cooking process.Wash, peel and dice your vegetables. Peel and mince the garlic and ginger.Add the peanut or vegetable oil to a large skillet or wok. Heat over medium/high heat until the oil is very hot (it will look wavy on the surface). Add the garlic, ginger and diced carrots. Stir fry for 2-3 minutes or just until the carrots are slightly tender.Add all of the other vegetables (except the green onion) and stir fry for 1-2 minutes longer. Remove the vegetables from the skillet or wok.If you have a non-stick wok, add the rice and stir fry for 1-2 minutes. Make a well in the middle of the rice and add the egg. If you do not have a non-stick wok, leave the rice out and cook the egg by itself. Using chopsticks, slightly scramble the egg as it cooks. Dont over scramble or youll end up with miniscule egg pieces that are not even visible after stirring into the rice.Once the egg has fully cooked, add the rice (if not already in the wok or skillet) and the cooked vegetables. Stir in the green onions, soy sauce and sesame oil (begin with 2 Tbsp of soy sauce and add more to taste). Heat through and serve!

Food Joke

The Lone Ranger and Tonto walked into a bar one day and sat down to drink a beer. After a few minutes, a big tall cowboy walked in and said, "Who owns the big white horse outside?" The Lone Ranger stood up, hitched his gunbelt, and said, "I do. Why?" The cowboy looked at the Lone Ranger and said, "I just thought you would like to know that your horse is just about dead outside!" The Lone Ranger and Tonto rushed outside and, sure enough, Silver was about dead from heat exhaustion. The Lone Ranger got him some water and made him drink it, and soon Silver was starting to feel a little better. The Lone Ranger turned to Tonto and said, "Tonto, I want you to run around Silver and see if you can create enough of a breeze to make him start to feel better." Tonto said, "Sure Kemosabe", and took off running circles around Silver. Not able to do anything else but wait, the Lone Ranger returned to the bar to finish his drink. A few minutes later, another cowboy struts into the bar and announces, "Who owns that big white horse outside?" The Lone Ranger stands again and claims, "I do. What is wrong with him this time?" The cowboy says to him, "Nothing much, I just wanted you to know... you left your Injun running!"
