I made a batch of this for my bento lunches and I am so happy I did! The flavour is fantastic...my kids and my husband started eating it straight out of the wok. I had to tell them it was for future lunches. The success of this recipe truly relies on using sesame oil and a top quality soy sauce. I prefer Kikkoman as I've found it to be the best flavour.<br/>I added shredded carrots, mushrooms and a few bean sprouts. I now have the perfect fried rice recipe...thanks for posting, Kittencal!! Another winner from you. :)

This was a great aned easy recipe. I made this last night and my husband said it was better than the rice we get in the chinese restaurant. I put frozen peas in the rice. Next time I'll add left over chicken or beef to the recipe along with diced carrots.. I used the sesame oil its a must what terrific flavor it gave the rice. I will be using this recipe alot.

Add me to the believers of this recipe. I could never get fried rice right and didn't often try because of it. Thanks for this great recipe! The only thing I changed - I diced chicken (about 1.25 pounds), 1 can of water chestnuts, sliced a cup or so of cabbage and a tiny onion, and marinated it in stir fry sauce an hour or two before cooking. I made for 12 (entree portions) and it fed 6 adults a dog with a bit left over. I prepared 2 cups of dry rice and the ratio turned out well. It was a super lot of egg which was fine by me but if you are not all too fond of the egg in fried rice, I wold suggest cutting it in half.

This is so good! I made it to have with Recipe#301466 and it was a great combination! I make mine very similar to this, but the addition of the garlic and sesame oil is what put this over the top for us! I only used 1 clove of the garlic (personal choice) and skipped the butter to cook the eggs in using just a shot of cooking spray instead. Such a great flavor and we loved it! Thanks for posting another winner Kitten! :)

This was quite good! The black pepper really took it over the top for me--it has just enough kick to be interesting but not enough to make DH complain LOL! I was also quite generous with the garlic. This is a really versatile recipe; I used pre-cooked salad shrimp instead of chicken and added some sliced mushrooms bamboo, though next time I think I will go with water chestnuts and more veggies in general. I also agree with QueenVic that ginger would be good in here; I just didn't have any on hand. I was very pleased with how quickly the dish came together. Thanks for posting a definite keeper!
