Excellent! I used leftover white rice and didn't have any carrots but added chopped white onion and I cooked everything in bacon grease. I added a lot more than 2 tablespoons of soy sauce. I just kept adding until the color looked like it does in restaurants!

It was good just not mine or my families favorite. Not sure what it was, was a little plain to us. I made fried rice the week before and gotthe recipe on this site and I think we thought it was the same one so when we had it and it tasted different maybe that was the disappointment.

Super easy to make. I usually cook the rice in beef stock and add scallions at the end before serving. Using the sesame oil is a must!

easy, good, my kids loved it, veggies & all. I think it's missing something. Maybe I didn't put enough soy sauce.

Simple, quick and very good. I used about 1 1/2 cup frozen peas and carrot mix. Did not have a problem with sticky rice. I cooked the rice and then let it cool on an oil cookie sheet. Came out very good. Think I will add green onions and ginger next time though!

Per another reviewer I toasted the rice before adding the liquid and it turned out perfect!

I cooked my rice in a rice cooker in the morning, let cool. I also used frozen peas and carrots so I cooked them with a little veggie oil, before doing anything else. Adter "frying my p&cs" I added the eggs after eggs were cooked I added my rice which was one big circle but it broke up perfect. I think the key is to cook the rice until some of it browns.

This was very good. I followed the directions with the exception of adding beef broth to the rice instaed of water as one of the other reviewers suggested, and it gave it a wonderful flavor. My only problem was it seemed a little dry.

This was our first time making fried rice. It was very easy and yummy. I gave it four stars because one of the kids thought it was just okay.

I have made this several times and just can't get it just like the resturant makes but, it's close. We have this a lot and really like it.

This is a great base recipe to work with. I do recommend using day-old rice because it is a little dryer and not sticky, thus being easier to fry. I used garlic, onions, leeks, red pepper, yellow pepper, green pepper, water chestnuts, chipotle sauce, a little chicken stock, pepper, chili flakes and sausage. I didn't use peas or carrots nor the sesame oil, and instead used of vegetable oil used some left oil from some bacon and breakfast sausage I fried earlier today for extra "yum". The final product turned out a little "wetter" than I'm used to, but still very tasty with a kick. Great way to use up leftover rice, plain or flavoured.

I never bought sesame oil before because I never thought it would make a difference, but I was wrong. I used it in this recipe and it was delicious

NOTE regarding FRYING the dry rice (as per someone else's suggestion)... I always use brown rice, and when I went to pre-fry my dry brown rice on high, it began to burn almost immediately. I left out the vegetables, added chopped green onion to the eggs. Delicious!

Pretty good. Easy, quick stir fry. I added pork--cooked in soy sauce for a few minutes before adding the veggies and then the rice. I used cut up baby carrots, as directed, but I didn't have frozen peas--just frozen mixed veggies, so I used that. I also used brown rice in this. Thanks for the recipe!

It was alright. Not great. I added some beef broth to the rice as it was cooking (I will, per advise, probably do more next time), and otherwise followed instructions. It is nice and easy to make, though. Good for what it is. Edit: I added some sliced ham, green onions, garlic, and ginger. It's now very very good, and I've changed my rating to reflect that.

This is just like the resturants. For a hint, to make it less sticky and clumpy put the cooked rice in the refrigerator and cool it befoe you stir fry it. It turns out much better.
