Sunday night, Matt and I tried a new recipe – fried rice. I found the recipe in Mark Bittman’s How to Cook Everything Vegetarian; sadly I can’t find the recipe online, but it was excellent. I used long-grain brown rice which I cooked earlier in the day. I had read in this article that this produces a better fried rice.
With our fried rice, we also made Tofu Steamed dumplings from the same cookbook. With a little bit of dinner prep, we had excellent Chinese food – with tons of leftovers.
The fried rice had peas and red pepper and the dumplings had tofu, scallions, ginger and bok choy.
Tonight, I heated up the leftovers for a great dinner.
Reading is on my agenda for the evening – hopefully an early bedtime too. I have another early morning meeting and am hoping to squeeze a run in too…

Wow looks like a delicious dinner and much healthier (and cheaper) than ordering Chinese!
Looks like I wasn’t the only one with chinese on the mind tonight! Looks yummy!
So, if you would recommend one vegetarian cookbook for me who wants to use more veg entrees in a non-veg home… would it be this one?
That looks great! Homemade Chinese is so much better than the greasy restaurant food. My tummy can’t handle Chinese restaurants!
That looks delicious! I love how easy and healthy fried rice can be
