SOOO GOOD!! The sesame oil is what makes this sooo delish! :) I made my brown rice early and refrigerated it like some suggested. Thanks for the keeper!

I just made this. It was easy and pretty good, not the same as take out but if your watching your pennies and want a good chinese fried rice this is it. I fried up some thin beef slices and set it aside. Added peas and carrots that where frozen and thawed them under cold running water. Heated the oil up and then cooked the veggies and added some onion. I also prepared the rice a day a head of time so it wouldn't be sticky or smooshy. Whipped up the egg, whould use just one next time. Then added the rice and tossed. I used a big wide pot to cook in since I didn't have a wok. It probably would have tasted even better if I had one.

I added 2 sliced green onions and a clove of garlic to the mix along with a pinch of 5 Spice Powder. This is also a great way to use up leftover white rice! I've added shrimp and diced cooked chicken to this as well. Also, the packaged chinese bbq pork from the supermarket is excellent diced up in this!

I *loosely* used this as my recipe as I tried a different fried rice recipe and it didn't turn out so great. I think the key ingredient is the sesame oil, definitely added the missing flavor. I sauteed a bunch of veggies - carrots, zucchini, snow peas - and some left over cooked chicken in the sesame oil then added cooked rice that was refrigerated, scrambled egg that I cooked in a separate pan that I had cut into strips and drizzled in soy sauce.

This was really good. I followed the directions exactly, except I halved the recipe. Other reviewers were right about the sesame oil. It made the rice have that restaurant flavor. My family loved it.

Mmmm! I made it with boil-in-a-bag brown rice and there was no need to refrigerate rice as suggested by other reviewers. The ground ginger and sesame oil is a must. I also took out the peas and carrots because of personal preference and added edamame and bell pepper. Delicious! However, I did try to remake this with white rice and I had a slimy clump of rice that was inedible. Go with the brown rice!

Great! And all the comments were good too...I used leftover rice, and the only veggies I had were peas and cauliflower...stirfried them with some garlic, added eggs with soy sauce, pepper, and a bit of hoisin sauce mixed in, cooked with the veggies and added the rice. It's simple and versatile and yummy...and a one wok dish! Thanks!

I liked how easy this was to prepare, I've always been a bit afraid to make fried rice. I left out the carrots and just dropped the peas into a bowl of boling water before adding to the pan. I was very liberal with the soy sauce. My husband thought this was better than what we get from our local takeout. Many Thanks.

I made this and it was a bit soggy and sticky when I followed the recipe. So I stuck it back in the pan with a little oil and stir-fried it for about 10 mins, which helped a lot. I used frozen mixed veggies and cooked the rice in chicken stock instead of water. I think next time I am going to make the rice a day before as others have mentioned, and invest in some oyster sauce before I try again.

This was quick to put together and looked beautiful when finished but wasn't for us. I thought it was very bland as is. I followed the directions to a T. This did not taste like restaurant fried rice to me. Some of it got eaten but only because we served the Baked Teriyaki Chicken sauce over it.

I was really hesitant to try this recipe, but it turned out pretty well. I think the sesame oil is crucial! I did use a frozen mix of peas and carrots because I had it on hand. After finishing it up per the directions, I felt it was really lacking something flavor-wise. I ended up adding garlic, a little ground ginger, and a healthy dose of oyster sauce. These additions really helped the flavor. I'll make this again with those modifications, thank you.

This was my first try with fried rice and it turned out well. I do not have a wok so I fried in a large frying pan. I made the mistake of getting the oil too hot...flying grease and a few peas! I've never scared myself like that in the kitchen. I started with new oil at lower temperature and it turned out great...surprisingly after my oops. I followed previous reviews to boil rice on high 5 minutes, no eggs used due to allergies, added garlic powder and ginger.

This was good. The problems were my fault, not the recipe. Definitely make sure you use cooked, COLD rice. I added chicken and when reheated it was tough and dry. No chicken and cold rice next time will be great!

I was in a hurry the first time I made this, so I didn't check the reviews like I usually do before I try something new. I have to admit when following the instructions as written, I really wasn't impressed. Frying the rice after cooking it made it very glutanous and the soy to taste left me feeling like I was guessing. Today I went back read the reviews and tried again and this time I loved it. 1.) Mixed 1/3 c. lite soy, several drops of sesame oil (or oyster sauce), and 3 2/3c. chicken broth in a large measuring cup and set aside. 2.) Rinsed the rice in a colander under cold running water for two minutes to wash off some of the gluten. 3.) Heat 1/4c. canola oil in a heavy bottomed pan over med. high heat and add rinsed rice. Stir constantly until golden. 4.) Add the soy/broth mixture, cover, reduce heat to low and simmer for 20 minutes. 5.) In a separate pan, fry the eggs, heat the peas and carrots and any other add ins. Set aside. 6.) Add the egg mixture to the rice when the rice is done. For us, frying the rice before adding the liquids really does make all the difference.

Great texture! I toasted the rice in a dry pan for 5 minutes, cooked then cooled on a large cookie sheet. Followed the recipe except used double the eggs and used chopped cooked pork, red pepper and green onion instead.

I usually stink at making any kind of rice, but this still turned out really good! My husband worked as a waiter at a Chinese restaurant for years and he thought it was somewhat comparible. If I make it again,I will try the oyster sauce and update my review from there. Thanks!
