1) You must use cold rice to make proper egg fried rice. If you are really in a pinch, spread it out on a pan and broil it under low heat, stirring frequently, to get some of the moisture out. This isn't ideal and the texture will still be effected, but it is much better than using rice fresh out of the pan. 2) Oil makes it taste..well, oily. Use butter instead. 3) I just add the soy sauce once the rice is in the pan.

I guess we are to spoiled with the restaurant style fried rice in our area. We didn't care for this at all. Very bland. The reviewer that said something was missing was right. I even tired adding more soy sauce, garlic, and onion powder. Still flavorless. Bummer!

I wouldn't make this if I had a craving for amazing fried rice, but as a quick flexible side it was very good. I used chicken broth instead of water, and with the soy it gave me a nicely flavored base. The egg was delicious and filling, I might add two next time. Thanks for sharing.

This is a great basic fried rice recipe. I love the taste of the soy sauce added to the water...could have just eaten that by itself.

Fresh green beans make this recipe. I too added ginger and extra garlic.

I just cooked this Fried Egg Rice Recipe. However, after reading the reviews I didn't add soy sauce and I didn't make it with beans. I added my own twist in it by adding Chilli peppers sauce and yellow Capicum. It tastes great and spice adds to the flavour. Other then that the recipe is OK.

I'm also sorry to say that this is the worst fried rice recipe ever. Had I read the reviews I would have known...I followed the recipe and added less soy sauce and it was still extremely salty! WOW! I was disappointed! : ( If anyone uses this recipe OMIT the salt and ADD garlic and ginger to flavor it some more. Use chilled cooked rice for the best results as the glucose won't be as high when it's cold-meaning less stickiness in the end.

The dish as-is is only average, but it gives a nice base to build on by adding other ingredients. I've added ground beef, sliced chicken and different spices (cumin, coriander and cayenne being the top three) at various times to turn this into a recipe worth making again and again.
