Steak Fried Rice

Chinese food is my #2 favorite food - a very close #2 after Italian. Unfortunately there aren't any great Chinese food restaurants in my area. There used to be, but they closed (Thanks COVID). So when I'm craving carbs, and Chinese food, fried rice is my go to. 

The ONLY modification I made to this was I used brown rice. I'm not a fan of brown rice, but I'm trying to be a little better. 

I also cooked the rice last night and let it sit in the fridge. Fried rice to me turns out better when you use left over rice.
