  1. I have never thought of making fried rice for breakfast, but this was genius! Super easy, quick & delicious! I added some chopped up leftover ham with the rice and we all really enjoyed this dish. We'll definitely be making it again. Thanks for sharing, ShowShanti! Made & enjoyed for Spring 2010 Pick A Chef. You've been adopted! :) http://www.recipezaar.com/bb/viewtopic.zsp?t=327498&postdays=0&postorder=asc&start=0
     
  2. This was a great light lunch with a side of Recipe #415605. it was simple to make and and I liked that it didn't have too much "stuff" in it. Thanks for sharing ShowShanti. Made for PAC Spring 2010.
     
  3. This is so tasty! It has become one of my favourite breakfasts now. Sometimes I add leftover spinach or green beans or something of that nature. Thanks for sharing.
     
  4. I made homemade fried rice once before years ago and it came out sticky and yucky. But this recipe is awesome and so simple. I used left over brown rice and used a little soy sauce instead of salt - so delicious. Thank you. And I also like that there's not too much stuff in it. And having it for breakfast is a fabulous idea. XOX

I grew up listening to my parents tell stories of their travels through Asia. I believe it was these stories that inspired me to trot the globe and seek new experiences. Through my travels I’ve soaked in sights, cultural lessons, and treated my taste buds to new flavors. I want to share my experiences as well and what better way to leave a lasting impression of tales from afar than with food? Join me on my journey through China as I meet families who teach me their favorite recipes. Stay tuned for my cookbook featuring these recipes and the families who opened their homes to share them.
