Hoisin Beef Fried Rice

 Happy Chinese New Year!! It's the Year of the Horse so may it bring you much happiness, good health and prosperity.    I made this marinated hoisin beef fried rice just for the occasion.  It's a great way to stretch 1lb of meat to feed many.  It's also a great way to use up leftover rice.  I used a combination of frozen and fresh vegetables in this dish and you can customize this to the vegetables you have on hand.  This fried rice made everyone happy in my house... may it do the same in your house.
