New Recipe - Fried Rice with disguised veggies :)

New Recipe - Fried Rice with disguised veggies :)
This is the basic recipe, but the best thing about this recipe is that you can make it your own and modify it to your likes.
Cook or steam 1 and 1/2 Cups of Brown Rice according to package directions (or use left over from another meal) refrigerate for at least 24 hours.-Scramble 2 eggs, set aside.
-Cook 5 pieces of turkey bacon, set aside.
-Spray PAM on the pan and on rice (just enough to coat the rice) and fry until a little browned. (Add more PAM and water if needed.) Sesame oil is another option instead of PAM for a different flavor. Adds a 'chinese' taste to it, but does add fat and calories. If using, limit total use to 1 TBSP.-Add reduced sodium soy sauce to smell (Start with 1/2 Cup and go up according to family taste. More can be added on individual servings as wanted.)
-Add garlic powder, salt, pepper, celery seed, & paprika. (and any other spices you want)-Then add:
chopped bacon (ham can be used as well, use cold)
¾ Cup Green onion
1 Cup peas
1 Cup corn
1 Cup carrots, diced
¾ - 1 Cup Bok Choy (Chinese cabbage) Use the white stem and the leafy part up to where the white stem disappears.
1 can water chestnuts, diced
(You can put any veggie you want in it really, like beans, white onion, etc.)If you like a little heat, add about 1 TBSP Sriracha HOT Chili Sauce.
Cook with lid on pan until veggies are tender. You will probably need to add some water throughout.
When liquid is absorbed, add scrambled eggs.
If you wanted to get really fancy you can add some shrimp or something! But it's kind of just whatever you want. That's the beauty of it!
