Traditional Fried Rice

Submitted by AcadiaTwo

"My DH claims he doesn't like white rice only brown. So of course, when I bought and cooked brown rice, he couldn't figure out what was wrong with it? So when he told me he only liked the brown rice with the egg in it, I realized that he did indeed like white rice, but fried white rice. This recipe is from my DD's culinary school with some additions. I have added approximate times and rewritten the directions."

Maybe I made this wrong but it was extremely rich with the hoisin sauce, there weren't enough veggies and I can only imagine this feeding six people if it's paired with a very large main dish. Should there be 12 ounces of rice after the rice is cooked, or should you start with 12 ounces dried rice and cook that? The former doesn't make for 4–6 servings and the latter would be way too much rice, relative to the other veggies. Also not sure what kind of heat people are using to need 15 minutes for diced vegetables and 10 more minutes for a couple eggs. I cooked everything over medium heat, took 8 minutes for veggies and 3 minutes for eggs.

Best. Fried rice. EVER. It's nice to know a non-hawaiian fried rice (because they love their bacon...) when I want something different... <br/>Only dealio is that I used brown rice--it's all we have here.

Tasty, quick and easy along with being healthy too. Has everything I'm looking for in a recipe. I found that the ingredients were cooked a lot sooner than stated in the recipe. Bonus!! I didn't have Hoisin Sauce but replaced this with Black Bean Sauce which worked well. I was also out of Scallions so added a handful of peas for colour. Thoroughly enjoyed by myself, DH and 5 yr old GS. Made for Aussie / Kiwi Swap Nov 2013.

Great fried rice. I liked the addition of hoisin sauce instead of just all soy sauce. Easy recipe to follow. I added about 1/8 cup sliced, toasted almonds, which gave the rice a nice crunch. Liked you story in the description about your DH. :) Made for Spring 2013 PAC game.

Very good rice! Made as written and it came out nice and fluffy. I liked the amount of veggies in it, some fried rice recipes are over loaded. Made for Photo Tag.
