Ruixing's Fried Rice

This is my friend Ruixing's recipe. She made it for me and Bridget one day at her house. It's simple but really delicious.

5-6 stalks celery, finely diced
3 eggs
2 cups brown rice
vegetable oil
low-sodium soy sauce

Cook the brown rice according to the package directions. Set aside.

Heat a few tablespoons of oil in a wok. Beat the eggs with about a teaspoon of water and throw them in the wok when it's hot. Make scrambled eggs in the wok, and when they are mostly cooked, add the celery (you can remove the eggs from the wok before adding the celery so they don't get overcooked, but I don't bother). Stir fry the celery, adding more oil if necessary, until it's becoming translucent. Add in the cooked rice, a bit more oil, and some soy sauce. Stir fry until it's fried rice (a few minutes) and add the egg back in if you took it out.

I go easy on the soy sauce, tasting as I go toward the end. She doesn't use a lot when she makes it.

You could add in other ingredients, but it's best as it is here. I've tried adding mushrooms and green onions before, and it took away from the celery.
