Very tasty recipe. I didn't have carrots on hand so I just used peas. I also added some garlic and chicken to make it more of a main dish. Very good. May have been a little better with some chicken stock added in for flavor.

I have been reluctant to make fried rice and i just go to the chinese restaurants instead. however this recipe was really good i added the oyster sauce like recommended by another reader. the more sesame oil you use the more stir-fried it tastes. overall this was a great recipe

Very easy recipe and the kids loved it. I used leftover peas and shredded my carrots, just heated those up in the oil before adding my cold rice. I don't have a wok but it worked just fine in a skillet!

So, I was really excited about this one, I had left over rice and the other ingredients in the fridge. I then proceeded to almost burn myself with the oil. After that catastrophe I switched pans and started over. It turned out alright, my boyfriend finished it but it wasn't AMAZING and definitely not restaurant style.

Very easy! I used fresh ingredients and it turned out wonderful. I followed others advice and just used a dash of sesame oil. I don't have a wok, so I prepared this in a frying pan and it worked fine. My first time making fried rice and I will definetly try it again. Oh- one other note; I used a premixtre of honey and soy as my sauce that I used to coat. Easy and tasty recipe!

Terrific and quick fried rice recipe. We thought it was a great use for the left over white rice that we had from some take-out Chinese that we'd ordered a few days before. The only change that we made was to add some chopped onion, which we sauteed to the rice, carrots, and peas.

the key to un-sticky fried rice is to use cold rice (i usually make fried rice when i already have leftover rice sitting in the fridge). alternatively, if you're in the mood for fried rice and don't have hours to chill the rice or leftovers sitting in the fridge, try TONIARHODES1's suggestion to put the rice in a large pot (or wok) and stir it around for a several minutes to get some of the water (the factor behind the stickiness) out. ooor... if you have chilled rice and you like your rice semi crunchy, try this with chilled rice! finally, for you garlic lovers, starting with minced garlic (simmer in oil a few seconds before you throw in the veggies) makes this mmm delicious :9 (but less "restaurant style")

Very simple and tasty. Be careful with the sesame oil though- I went a little overboard with it and it really took over. However, I will definitely make this again- it would work with all kinds of leftovers. Thanks for the recipe!

This is the first time ever that I got any kind of stirfry to come out right. Every time I try to stirfry it comes out sticky and it's not good to eat. What I did this time is use white rice as the recipe calls for and cooked 6 hours before I made the fried rice. I put the hot rice without a lid in the freezer for two hours. Then I put in the fridge until I cooked. I made the Yummy Honey Chicken Kabobs from this site and put all of that on top of the rice....it was VERY VERY GOOD!!!! I will make again

This was great, and easy. I actually used frozed peas & carrots which worked out just fine. The rice I used was a Jasmine rice which really made it taste good. I think I may even toast some sesame seeds to put on in the future. This has now become a staple in my house.

We liked this. It was my first time making fried rice, so I am pretty proud of it. My husband and son both enjoyed it also. I would definitely go light on the sesame oil in anything you ever put it on because it is very strong. My rice seems to turn out sticky no matter what I do, but it was still pretty good. I think the family will ask for it again.
