Loved this. Only change I made was to use basmati rice instead of brown.

I used minute brown rice for this recipe. I had a red bell pepper instead of a green bell pepper, used frozen peas instead of canned, and used the same teriyaki sauce I used for the hawaiin chicken that I served the rice with. Turned out great!

I really like this recipe!! Love the addition of nuts, red pepper flakes, and peppers - most people don't add peppers. I also added: 1 egg, 1 chopped up chicken breast I had left over from grilling out the night before, and 1 julienned carrot. I also used a red pepper instead of green for the color. My husband raved about this batch of fried rice when I made it 2 weeks ago and am actually making it again tonight. Am thinking of making it with Hot Chili Oil as my husband loves hot stuff and the red pepper flakes were barely detected last time.

I didn't have any peanuts so I left them out, but this was still very good. I also stirred in a couple of eggs near the end of cooking. This is an excellent basic recipe that you can add anything to.

This is a great recipe. The simple seasonings fool you into thinking it won't be very flavorful, but it is. The sesame oil really makes the dish. I did add some organic frozen mixed vegetables to the peppers and onions and used canola instead of peanut oil bc I didn't have any. I also left out the green onions bc I don't like them. I used one bag of the Success Boil-in-Bag brown rice and it was perfect. I added one egg just to give it some protein since I was giving it to my kids for lunch. This was quick, easy and flavorful!

really good! We used a mixed veggie mix and it came out wonderfully and I thought tasted better than at a restaurant. A lot less greasy too...

Very good. can't wait to make it again. I added some tofu that have been marinated in a mix of soy, garlic and ginger then cubed and browned and I added some egg. Next time I will leave out the sesame oil bc I liked the flavor better without it and I will add some been sprouts and broccoli to make it more of a one dish meal.

I wasn't sure whether to rate this recipe, as I changed so much of it. But it was a good base from which to start. I used the brown rice, but followed the cooking instructions on the packet. I used olive oil instead of peanut oil, but did add a tblspn of peanut butter. I used red bell pepper instead of green, and added frozen peas and corn, which went in with the onions and garlic. I was out of soy sauce, so I used teriyaki and I omitted the green onions, sesame oil and peanuts. this was still an awesome dish and the red pepper flakes added just the right kick. It was a hit with my family and I will be making it again, with the changes I made.

This is my first review! Yay! I have experimented with cooking for a few years, but after altering this dish and having everyone love it, I felt like a real cook! I used olive oil, because that was all I had, and used instant white rice. I didn't have any peas, peanuts or any sesame oil. I substituted with carrots, asparagus, and extra olive oil and two eggs that I beat up. I also used extra garlic and extra red pepper flakes. I like it spicy. I didn't add extra soy sauce, but put the bottle on the table for people to use. I did feel like it needed more salt, but I wanted people to add soy sauce/salt to their own liking! I will definitely make this again, and will experiment with more veggies and maybe even shrimp or chicken!
