this dish is a healthy alternative to accompany asian style dishes rather than white or stickey rice. the chiles de arbol although pretty sliced on top did not have a flavor that complimented the other ingredients. next time i will try sambal olek for the heat component.
Japanese-Style Fried Brown Rice
This dish is based on one that appears in the Japanese-language cookbook Saisai Gohan by Yumiko Kanou (Shibata-Shoten, 2004), the chef and owner of Nakaiseki Sen, a vegetarian restaurant in Tokyo.

simple and good for you!
I don't know this is called Japanese fried rice or not. Looks Chinese fried rice to me. You can make it Japanese by using chopped Japanese pickles or fried bean curd(Age). My favorite ingredient is dried baby shrimp. It adds so much flavor to fried rice and don't forget add egg to finish.
This was good, but not great.
Simple to prepare and surprisingly tasty. I recommend it especially for a healthy lunch.
