Vegetable Fried Rice

A few weeks ago, we met up with some other tea lovers in the Milwaukee area for a Twitter #teaclub meeting.

The meeting place? P.F. Chang's.

We don't eat Asian cuisine with much frequently, but after we ate there, we had a big ol' hankering for fried rice. So we grabbed a few veggies and set out to make some homemade Vegetable Fried Rice.

Frying mushrooms, bean sprouts and carrots in sesame oil.
