First I never used recently cooked rice, i always use day old rice, which saves time. I also used SPAM, whenever I have it or cubed turkey bacon. I find that the flavors are much better for my taste. Also whenever I make fried rice, I always tend to layer my flavors with the ingredients. So I start by cooking the eggs and then setting them a side. I then add a little oil to cook the spam or meat. I brown the meat slightly first, before removing it. Then i add onion and garlic, and slowly cook them, before adding the rice. I then cook the rice and the onion and garlic, so that the rice can absorb some flavor. I then add the veggies, and cook them slightly. At this point I add some taste, i use a little bit of soy and oyster sauce. I mix these a little bit more so that the flavors mix nicely. I then return the egg and spam to the pan. And then i mix them nicely together. After letting the flavors mix together, i end by adding a little bit of sesame oil. Only little bit though, you never want it to be stronger that anything else. I then finish by topping it with fresh green onions. And then it's done.... I've grown up to eat my fried rice this way, my dad always made if on the weekends for breakfast, it was always a treat. He would also make some eggs and spam and we'd have a full on breakfast. Even though it may have had a high cholestoral count. But this is super good....:-D

I gave this 5 stars because it is a very good base. After reading reviews here is what I did. I cooked the rice & let it cool. I then cooked the onion & garlic in the oil. I added only shrimp, carrot, & peas. Then I mixed the soy sauce in w/ the veggies. I stirred the mix into my cooled rice. I then cooked 3 eggs in the same pan & chopped them up to bite size pieces & mixed them in. I refrigerated the whole deal & just before dinner I heated it all up by frying it so that there was a little crunch. It came out as good as our local chinese place!

This is a very good recipe. Fried rice is supposed to be a great way to get rid of leftovers. So... to get the rice right... you do have to cook the rice first (preferably a day ahead), rinse it and chill it. The rice should not be overcooked and needs to be chilled when making fried rice. Also, the sesame oil is very powerful. I use only a teaspoon or two, along with regular oil. In keeping the spirit of getting rid of leftovers add leftover bits of veggies or meats from the week. I always add beansprouts. Fresh is best, but I keep a can on hand just in case I can't get to the market.

I have tried many times to make fried rice and it has always turned out mushy and disappointing. This one was delicious though! The rice remained firm and it was a perfect amount of flavor with the onion, garlic and soy sauce. I omitted all meat and used onion, frozen peas and carrots and egg.

Out of all the recipes for fried rice I tried this one because I liked that it included sesame oil as an ingredient in addition to the soy sauce. I thought that would help for an authentic Asian flavor. Also, I like the flexibility factor of the ingredients. As recipe suggests, you can freely substitute for what you have on hand. I added scallions and garlic. And I used cut up beef hot dogs as the meat since it's all I had and I can't afford to use shrimp!! I omitted the celery since I don't often have it in my frig. I also made the rice a day ahead as I've heard is the best thing to do for fried rice. It came out very pretty to look at, and was very moist. My boyfriend says he would it eat "again & again" so I guess it's a keeper! The only thing I will do differently next time is possibly cut back on the soy sauce a little. Oh, one more thing...my boyfriend said it was better than his Mom's, so I pretty much know that I've done something right! Thanks for the recipe!

Well Lynda you've outdone yourself on this one. Excellent fried rice, better than my favorite Chinese restaurant! We loved this dish. The flavors meld nicely. I let my rice cooker do its magic on the rice, making a perfect base for this dish. Thanks for sharing. This will be a regular at our house.

This recipe makes delicious fried rice and is very easy to alter to use items that you have on hand. I was looking for a way to use leftover pork tenderloin, so I substituted diced pork for all the meat items. What little was left after dinner was eaten the next day for lunch. I'll DEFINITELY make this again.
