Where’s the full recipe - why can I only see the ingredients?

Always check the publication for a full list of ingredients. An Eat Your Books index lists the main ingredients and does not include 'store-cupboard ingredients' (salt, pepper, oil, flour, etc.) - unless called for in significant quantity.

    We thought this was a very good weeknight meal. I had every ingredient on hand. We liked it, but I think I’ll try some of the suggestions here (fried egg, sriracha) to jazz it up.

    Uses all pantry/fridge staple ingredients! And was delicious. My 5yo wasn’t a fan (as currently is true of most things I make), but my niece and nephew loved it. For the best version, serve with a fried egg on top, cilantro, and of course, sriracha. Also, next time I’d try cooking all the veggies together in my largest stainless steel pan - taking the first batch of vegetables out of the pan to then cook the cabbage per the instructions was a bit fussy - and cooking the rice separately in my largest nonstick so it can cook at the same time as the veggies and crisp up a bit more. Adding to the rotation!

    I used double the (white) rice, slightly more vegetables, double the sauce, and added eggs (scrambled with the rice) and diced, cooked chicken. That was a big pan of food! I was slightly skeptical about the sauce (ketchup?) but really liked the flavor.

    As others are saying, a good weeknight meal that really packs the veggies in. We enjoyed this, but might not repeat.

    I added just a touch of sesame oil at the end. Great weeknight meal!

    I've made this a bunch of times. Good, easy fried rice dish. Add what you want. Great weeknight meal.

    I cooked more rice than the recipe needed, probably about double...oops! Luckily there was enough sauce to take the extra rice. Nice as is, but we added some kecap manis and siracha sauce.

    I really enjoyed this and served with a fried egg on top. Loved that it has lots of different vegetables. Mr VT didn't love this, but he didn't hate it so there is room for a next time! When I make it again I will reduce the amount of oil to make it even healthier.
