Chinese takeout always gives us too much rice, so I use it in this recipe the next day. It is much firmer and less sticky than home cooked. My family enjoys it as much as the takeout. I add chicken sometimes, but this is great on its own.

I usually make my own fried rice but thought I would find a recipe and learn how to "do it the right way". I'll go back to my old way; saute chopped onions and garlic, add left over STEAMED rice, fry with just enough soy sauce to you liking. Spread rice mixture to make a little empty spot in the center. Drop 1-2 eggs to scramble in the middle and then mix all together. That's it!

Two problems with this recipe: Water needs to be reduced to 3 cups. Using a ratio of 1-1/2 water to 1 rice will help keep the rice grains separate. Secondly, rinse the excess starch off of the rice. Put the rice in your pot, fill with cold water and stir. Drain the rice. Repeat at least once. The excess starch acts like glue when cooked making the rice clump up more.

I made this to go with our Asian Lettuce wraps last night. Since I had cooked rice in the freezer, I went about this a little differently. First I cooked my egg separately in an omelet pan. When done and cooled enough to handle, I cut it in julienne strips (much prettier this way, in my opinion). I steamed my carrots to soften them up. I didn’t cook the peas, just thawed them. I refrigerated all the components and just before dinner, I added the soy sauce and sesame oil to the rice and then folded in the remaining ingredients. Microwaved for a few minutes and served! Very good. Nice color and good flavor!

Basic recipe. Needed a little oomph. I added oyster sauce and pancetta.

The rice has to be made a day in advance and stored in the fridge. No soy sauce, you're not steaming the rice, you're frying it. Basically, there's nothing about this recipe I like. Sorry.

This is awesome! The sesame oil makes the dish, be sure not to leave out. We put chicken in ours and make it a one dish meal. My husband requests every single week

This was an excellent recipe! Very easy. I did make a few adjustments. I added some garlic powder, butter, and pepper. I also left the egg out because I don't like it. It tasted just like the fried rice at a Japanese restaurant! The sesame oil is a MUST!
