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

Endearing terms It’s Daniel and Rivkah’s 50th wedding anniversary and to celebrate, their son Aaron invites the close family to a Golden Wedding dinner at his house. During the evening, Aaron gets very emotional every time he hears his dad call his mum by such endearing terms as ‘darling’, ‘petal’, ‘sweetheart’ and ‘my lover.’ It’s clear to Aaron that his parents are still very much in love. While Rivkah is out the room, Aaron goes over to his father, kisses him and quietly says, "Dad, I’m so pleased for you both. I think it`s fantastic that after 50 years you’re still calling mum by those loving pet names." But Daniel, looking very embarrassed, says, "Things are not always what they seem to be, son. I must tell you the truth - I forgot your mother’s name about 5 years ago."
