"I got this recipe from a Kikkoman booklet. I made it for the first time around 1993 and it was so good I never tried another fried rice recipe ever since."

This fried recipe is one of my favorites, too! I found this recipe in a little spiral-bound Kikkoman-brand cookbook that someone gave me when I was a kid in the 80's. I rediscovered that little cookbook in a box of my old things and turned to that dog-eared page to see that old recipe I enjoyed making when I was a very young cook. I made it yesterday and it was as good as I remembered. I add a couple more strips of bacon because, well, bacon makes everything better! My husband just loved it. (I imagine this would also be great with the addition of shrimp.) -
This is incredibly good! I love that it just uses bacon. My DBF claimed it was the best thing on his plate. This recipe comes together really fast so it is helpful to have all the ingredients prepared ahead of time. Thanks Ms. Pia :) -
This is my new favorite fried rice recipe! I followed the directions exactly and add some shredded chicken for a complete meal. Thanks for sharing!!

This was TERRIFIC! I followed the recipe exactly and it was so easy. I was looking for a fried rice recipe to use up a bunch of cold white rice I had and I somehow had everything for this recipe. It was great. The kids even loved it. Thanks for sharing. Will make again!

I'm lucky to have had two amazing grandmothers with a passion for cooking.My Nona was from the north of Italy and Lolo was from Spain. Lolo used to make pickle fish. You would think that is a kids worst nightmare, but it was fabulous. I would kill for that recipe.My mother was also a wonderful cook. I grew up eating the most amazing food; her lasagna and Bolognese sauce are out of this world.
I am originally from Argentina and living in Colorado for the past 25 years. As you can imagine, I love to cook, eat and entertain. I read cookbooks like novels.
There is nothing that I enjoy more than traveling. I love the challenge of a new culture and a foreign language. Of course all my traveling is culinary oriented. Eventually I would love to move to Italy. Italians, in my opinion, have the perfect life style; Hard work in the morning, good food for lunch, nice siesta and out for a "giro" (go for a round) in the afternoons to visit with your friends over a cup of coffee.
My daughter is a great baker; she has a natural talent for it. We can make the exact same recipe and hers ALWAYS tastes much better.
