Chinese Mushroom Pork Fried Rice

Submitted by Kittencalrecipezazz

"I make this often, it is a favorite at my house! Make certain that your rice is cold before using in this recipe, so don't throw out that leftover rice from your Chinese food take-out, or prepare your rice a day ahead and refrigerate. The chili flakes are optional, add in if you like some heat! You can really make this rice using whatever cooked meat you have on hand. In place of the mushrooms you can use cooked fresh or frozen peas or use both! Cooking and prep time does not include cooking the rice."

Yay! The first time I've made fried rice and liked it! It will be good to make when I get a craving for chinese food. I just needed a good recipe like this and to prepare some drier rice and make sure they are really separated well. Thanks for posting this!

Versatile Recipe! Super tastey way to use up a little of this and that. In my case I followed the basic mix, but then veered off tossing in a handfull of left over frozen shrimp, seared beef, peas, diced baby carrots, diced sweet onion and minced cilantro. Yummo! Didn't have light soy sauce on hand, but used the Tamari Soy I had on hand--without adding any more salt (Tamari had a lot of sodium). Result: Delish! I like my fried rice smokin' hot, so I added a dash of cayenne to my own serving, but left the rest fire-safe for others. Great way to use up that little bit of this and that which might otherwise have wasted in the fridge. Thanks, KittenCal!

Yummy, but missing *something*. Perhaps it was because I used left-over pork loin? Next time, I think I'll try getting some of that Chinese BBQ pork and/or some Chinese sausage...SOMETHING is missing, I just can't put my finger (er tongue!) on it! Here's a photo of how mine turned out - very satisfying! Thanks, Kittencal!
