Make
-
Heat a wok with cooking oil over medium-high heat. Add cho/soy-rizo and saute for 3 to 4 minutes.
-
Add vegetables and saute until liquid is cooked off and vegetables are starting to brown and sizzle in the bottom of the pan. Stir in rice and cook until rice is heated through, 3 to 5 more minutes. Taste and season with some salt and pepper. The rice should be plenty flavorful with the cho/soy-rizo but you can add some soy sauce if you want it saltier.

Enjoy fried rice topped with hot sauce, lettuce, crushed chips, and salsa.
