Chinese Fried Rice

My aunt Mary makes thee best Fried Rice I have ever had. She is always asked to bring it to our family gathering potlucks. Even though I make her recipe all the time, it just doesn't taste quite like hers. Isn't it true that when someone else makes something it always tastes better.

• 6 cups of cooked rice
• 1 1/2 tablespoons olive oil
• 1 cups celery, sliced thinly at a diagonal
• 1 cup green onions, sliced at a diagonal
• 1 small green or red pepper, julienned
• 1 carrot, grated
• 1 tablespoon soya sauce
• 2 Roma tomatoes, seeded and diced
• 1 small can of sliced water chestnuts
• pepper to taste
• She always adds a tiny sprinkle of sugar to hers,maybe that is why it tastes so good. But I omit it.

1. In a large frying pan or wok, heat the oil.
2. Add all the veggies EXCEPT tomato and water chestnuts and stir fry for 3 minutes. 
3. Add the cooked rice, Soya sauce, pepper, tomato and water chestnuts. 
4. Stir fry for another minute or two until everything is heated through.
