Just before serving, heat a wok or large nonstick frying pan over a high flame. Swirl in the oil. 1 1/2 tablespoons oil may be used instead of the 2 tablespoons. Add the minced garlic, ginger, scallions, and chili. Stir fry these ingredients for 15 seconds, or until fragrant but not brown. Add the peppers, carrot, celery, and snow peas and stir fry for 1 to 2 minutes, or until crispy-tender. Stir in the rice, beans and corn (if using), bean sprouts, and capers and stir fry for 2 minutes, or until the ingredients are thoroughly heated. Stir in soy sauce to taste and serve. Serves 6 as a side dish or 4 as a main course. Note: Raichlen prefers to use Uncle Bens white rice.
