Chinese-Style Vegetable Fried Rice

Preparation

1. Step 1

   Bring 4 cups water to a simmer in a medium saucepan. Stir in the rice, cover, and simmer gently until the water is absorbed, about 35 minutes.

   Step 2

   When the rice is nearly done, heat the oil in a stir-fry pan or extra-wide skillet. Add the vegetables and stir-fry over medium-high heat for 5 minutes. Add the scallions and stir-fry for another minute or two.

   Step 3

   Stir in the rice, and season to taste with soy sauce and pepper. Stir-fry for another 2 to 3 minutes, and serve.
