From the Test Kitchen

Why order takeout when you can cook an even more delicious version of the same meal in your very own kitchen? Fried rice, one of our favorites, is a snap to make. And we’re giving it a healthful, seasonal twist with shiitake mushrooms, chard, broccoli, sweet potato and cabbage, all of which are at their best in the colder months. The freshness and flavor of these vegetables, combined with traditional aromatics and a sweet soy sauce, put this classic truly over the top. No more waiting around for the delivery guy!
