Method
- If using tofu, cook it.
- If using onions, dice them into whatever size you prefer.
- If using bok choy, separate the stalk part from the leaf part. Slice the leaf part crosswise into ¾-inch-thick strips, then tear the strips into 2-inch pieces. These pieces will be treated much like the bean sprouts, though perhaps with slightly more cooking. The stalk part will be treated as celery.
- If using bean sprouts, wash them and discard any that are not white and crunchy.
- If using meat, slice into desired sized pieces and cook.
- Add a generous amount of oil to a large frying pan (more than you think you'd need) to avoid sticking. If using a type of sausage or other excessively fatty meat, not as much oil may be needed because of the amount of fat.
- Add the rice. Cook over the stove on medium-high heat.
- Add the soy sauce, meat(s), eggs, and all vegetables except the onions and bean sprouts.
- Add pepper, a pinch or two of sugar, and optionally some added salt.
- Add the tofu, bean sprouts, and onion when the rice is almost done (depending on how fried you want them), being careful not to overcook them.
