Chofan

This is a meal that is totally flexible. If there is a veggie you like, chances are it will go good in here (ok, maybe there are a few exceptions, haha).

Also, I do NOT measure anything for this recipe, so if you are looking for exact amounts, you might not wanna read any further :)

Feeling Brave? Ok, lets do this!

I cook about 3 cups of rice (will be 6 cups after cooked) ahead of time in my rice cooker. Or you can cook it at the same time you are giving your fingers a workout with veggie aerobics (you will be chopping for a while, haha). Also you can cook as much as your little heart desires. This recipe multiplies easily and can feed an army!

Ingredients you will need LATER in the recipe:

Soy Sauce (a lot!)

Fresh Cilantro

Cooked Rice

Ingredients to chop up & Saute:

Celery (2 stalks, or more or less)

Onion

Red, Yellow, & Green bell pepper (or use 1/2 of each or mix it up)

Garlic 1 clove peeled (this is totally optional, sometimes I leave it out all together)

Meat - I use a 4 pack of Italian Sausages, but you can use pork chops, chicken, steak, etc. At a local restaurant they serve "Chofan Mixto" where you can eat chicken & steak together. (FYI, it is yummmmmy)

Chop up the veggies and meat and sauté in a pan with some oil. I make sure the entire pan is covered with about 1/8" of oil but this is totally up to you. Heck if I know how much oil that is .. if I knew I would have wrote it down for you! Gah .... (o:

Ok once your veggies are sautéed & meat cooked all the way through, all you have to do is throw in your cooked rice. Now for the fun part - get crazy with the Soy Sauce ... the more the better! I totally douse the rice until it is a dark brown color. Maybe a taste test will work better for your first try at this :) Yes, def taste test FIRST before you add tooooo much and your whole family cringes the next time you mention cooking Chofan!

Ready for the last step? Chop up some fresh Cilantro and add in the mix. (Surely you know better than to ask "How much?")

Salt & Pepper if needed (doubtful, didn't you just add like 20 cups of Soy sauce to that recipe ... lay off the salt before you hurt yourself!)

Hope you enjoy as much as we do!

Don't forget to get creative with the veggies!
