    This was ok, but I'm still not sure how I feel about the 5-spice. Flavor is slightly off.

    Agreed, this makes a ton of rice - more of a main dish than side. I added cabbage instead of greens. Hot sauce on the side. M1 liked the veg but not the rice, M2 liked the rice but not the veg, I despair of my family sometimes. DH did like this. Turns out I'm mildly allergic to five spice so won't be repeating as written but will be a decent base recipe for vegan fried rice.

    This was a fine fried rice but not my favorite. I thought the 5-spice flavor felt a bit out of place. Also, this recipe makes a TON of fried rice--too much for me to fit comfortably in even my largest skillet. I think you'd need to either half the recipe or use two skillets to get a nice stir-fried dish out of this recipe. Even so, the finished dish was tasty enough.
