Let's Be Yummy A Gluten Free way to enjoy life's pleasant delights
One of my grandfathers was career military, so my mom was exposed to a variety of cultures and foods.
Friends from Texas introduced them to south of the border foods and a Japanese wife prepared fried rice.
The fried rice was an easy dish for my grandmother to have a nutritious dish. Since the recipe included a starch, proteins and vegetables, she had a complete meal for her family of eight.
I have always enjoyed fried rice whether at the local Hibachi grill or mom preparing at home.
I wanted to share it with you. Hope you like it as much as I do.
This recipe makes a lot so either invite some friends over or enjoy the leftovers!
