Fried Rice

"This is a favourite recipe of mine because I love Chinese food. But fried rice is a lot better when you make it yourself. This recipe only takes about 30 minutes, which is probably equivalent to the amount of time it takes you to wait in line at your local Chinese restaurant."

  1. Just the way I make my usual fried rice,except that I add sesame oil to mine.Since I don't have any left,this recipe fit the bill perfectly.
     
  2. I was a little disappointed with this recipe as it was found in my "Essential Asian Cookbook," which I pretty much rely on for all things Asian. This tasted fine, and was easy enough to put together, but even though I refrigerated the rice overnight, the rice still turned out soggyish and not crispyish like take out would be. I'll keep looking for another recipe.
     
  3. Made this today with pork. Really good and easy. Will make again.
     
  4. This is awesome!! Thanks for posting. This will be the only way I make fried rice from now on.
     
  5. Easy, tasty, loved it. So easy to make. Did everything as directed, with one exception: I didn't have the shrimp nor ham, but had leftover pork chops from the barbeque so this ended up being pork fried rice. Thanks & keep up the good work!
