2/3 c. rice
2 tbsp. vegetable oil
1 bouillon cube
1 med. onion, chopped
1 green pepper, chopped
1 1/2 tsp. salt (optional)
1 1/2 c. boiling water
2 tsp. soy sauce
2 stalks celery, chopped
1 1/2 c. cooked, diced beef

Cook rice in hot oil over medium heat until golden brown. Add salt (if desired), water, bouillon cube, soy sauce; cover and simmer 20 minutes. Add rest of ingredients; cover tightly and simmer 10 minutes. (It may be necessary to add more water.)

All water should be absorbed at end of cooking time. If not, remove cover and allow liquid to evaporate. Yield 2 generous servings.
