Theresa's fabulous veggie fried rice

This dish is best made when you have old rice in the fridge. You know the kind that you don't want to eat anymore that's all dry and yucky. But waste not!

1. Fry 3 cloves of finely chopped garlic in sesame oil until golden brown in a frying pan
2. Add 2 small sliced shallots, fry until soft
3. Chop a 1/4 of a zucchini into small bite sized pieces and add to pan until almost translucent in color, add a dash of red wine vinegar for flavor
4. Add mushrooms and 5 fried tofu cubes cut in 1/2 diagonally. I like the long enoki straw mushrooms but you can use whatever you like
5. Wait until mushrooms cook down then add 1/2 a bowl of your old rice
6. Add extra sesame oil, a nice pour of soy sauce, about 2 tbsps of dark soy sauce and a small dash of rice wine
7. Stir then turn up heat to medium high and add a 1/4 cup of water then quickly cover to let the rice steam back to a nice consistency
8. When the rice looks nice and fluffy again make sure all chunks have been separated using a spatula
9. Taste your rice! Add a little more dark soy sauce if it's not brown enough and regular soy sauce if it's not salty enough.
10. Add two raw eggs and stir into rice until cooked.
11. Chop some parsley and serve on top of a plated bowl of your fab rice!

This recipe is easily adjusted depending on whatever veggies you have lying around... Be creative!
