Ali's Fried Rice
"I usually make this after we have scrambled eggs for breakfast, using the leftover scrambled eggs in the rice! For veggie lovers, use the recipe's two cups of rice, but you can add another cup of rice if you like your fried rice more...rice-ier."

We loved this fried rice. I used 2 cups of rice and, for us, it was a perfect ratio of rice and vegetables. This is a keeper and I can wait to make it again. Thanks for sharing, Tornado Ali. -
I added some ground sausage, good.
