This was very tasty and I will be making this again. I agree that the directions were a bit hard to decipher, but through other reviews, I was able to figure it out. I did not have peanut oil on hand, so I used olive oil as an alternative and the veggies I used were carrot, celery, brocoli and onion. All of the family enjoyed this very much. Thanks!

Rice was okay, but instructions were very poor. Sorry.

Great fried rice, we enjoyed it very much! i would like to give it the 5 it deserves but I don't feel I can because just as i was puting it on the table i noticed the eggs on the counter, "set aside". The recipe does not mention what to do with them after setting aside. I added them at the last minute to the serving bowl. I will be making it again, we loved it, thanks for posting it!

I found the directions to be a little cumbersome and unclear. Although the rice did turn out pretty yummy. In the ingredient list you did not put the garlic or the celery even though it mentions those items in the directions. I kinda of improvised a bit. Thanks for sharing.
