Fried Rice

I love Chinese food..so when I received this recipe in an email I was thrilled. First of all, it is cheaper cause I could make it at home and second of all I don't have to use up a huge amount of my WW's point to eat it. Granted it is not the authentic Veggie Fried Rice, but it still tastes good.
