garlic bread, fried rice, and ceasar salad

Very yummy simple dinner....BUT...

The salad needs to be perfected :( I'll work on it and post a better recipe. For now, the fried rice is delicious.


Fried Rice
--------------
2 cloves garlic, pressed or chopped
Couple of pinches of sea salt
1 can sliced potatoes
2 tbsp sesame oil
1/2 can bean sprouts, or about 1/2 cup fresh
1/2 cup peas
2 large carrots, chopped or thinly sliced
Cook one cup dry rice with 2 cups of water in a rice cooker (I like to throw in a couple of basil leaves while cooking)
2 tbsp Shoyu (or your favorite soy sauce), more or less to taste
1 tbsp rice vinegar, more or less to taste
I bok choy leaf, chopped (you want the entire thing, so don't throw out the white part. Extra minerals here people!)
4 chopped green onions, white and green parts

1. Heat the sesame oil in a large wok over medium-high heat. Add the garlic and just a pinch of sea salt and stir constantly, for under a minute. Just wait for garlic to become fragrant. Add the carrots and cook for about 2 minutes with an additional pinch of salt.
2. Add in the chopped bok choy, sliced potatoes, bean sprouts, and peas. Stir fry for 2 additional minutes.
3. Add the cooked rice to the wok and sprinkle with some water (maybe 2-3 tbsp). Add your shoyu and rice vinegar, stir fry for 4 minutes, or until all liquid has been absorbed. Stir in green onions.
