Fried Rice

Very nice. However, I've been making fried rice for years and am half Chinese, and I would say you really don't NEED the sesame oil (no offence). The peanut oil, I've found, is quite important though. Peanut oil (as opposed to olive oil and other oil) seems to give it the best flavour and colour.

This was delicious! It was a special request of my son's as he will only eat rice if it's fried! Green onions are not favorites around my house so I substitued chopped sweet onion. Also, I subbed vegetable boullion for the chicken broth since my daughter is a vegetarian (and omitted the meat). For the rest of us, I served it with Thai Shrimp, and peas on the side. The sesame oil really added a little extra oomph. Really easy and quick and delicious. I will definitely make this again!

Easy and very flavorable. Very easy to add variations (peas, cooked diced carrots, shrimp, chicken, pork, etc.). Thanks for sharing this recipe.

WOW this was so good!!!!! You are correct when you say you will never need to get fried rice from a restaurant again. Lots of flavor and very easy to make. I added cooked pork and thawed peas to mine. Served it with Lemon Chicken-Just Like Take Out (137627) and Easy Chicken Egg Rolls (113223). Made for a wonderful dinner. The only thing is that I made the rice using 2 cups of uncooked and it made well over 4 cups of cold rice, so next time I will only use 1 cup of uncooked rice to make this.

There are a ton of fried rice recipes on the site and this is BAR NONE is the closest to authentic Chinese restaurant fried rice. Next time I'll add bean sprouts, as is traditional in Chicago's restaurants. Delicious!

Wonderful recipe! I have wanted to make Chicken Fried Rice awhile and some how thought it would be harder. My first batch received rave reviews even though it was too mushy. My second attempt went much better because I followed the recipe. :) The cooked rice needs to be really cold, my first batch had only been refridgerated for a few hours...next day it was perfect. I also tried to add the eggs later as one of the reviewers did, but it was much better when I cooked it earlier as the recipe directs. Great recipe that I'll be making a lot!

Yeah - first time for me in years to make brown rice correct and used chicken stock instead of water, which makes this dish beautiful. I used bacon bits and yellow onion and the rest as written. Used with Shrimp fry #129262 also tasty.

Loved it! I added frozen peas and smoked pork chops. Served this with Chinese Ribs and Asian Beef Kabobs and we had fortune cookies for dessert

This rice okay. I won't make it again. I found it bland and only ate it after I decided to add some garlic and other flavorings and stir fry for another 2 minutes.

Really good and easy! I added cooked/chopped bacon insted of other meats, bean sprouts, peas and carrots and thinly sliced water chestnuts. No peanut oil so subbed sesame oil. Cooked the egg in the bacon fat. It was a hit with the men in my house.

Great recipe. We added a yoghurt chicken I made separate and it was all delightful! Can't wait to make again and add veggies or other goodies. Thanks for your posting.

Very tasty fried rice. I made it exactly as written except for not adding the pork and loved it.

My 3 children and I found that the taste of the soy sauce and the sesame oil was overwhelming. They didn't like it at all. I tolerated it better (perhaps because I cooked it), but next time I'll stick to my own recipe and definitely not use sesame oil. Whenever I've used it in Chinese cooking, my kids and my husband hate it, but after reading all the reviews, I thought I'd give it one more shot. Oh well, perhaps it's an acquired taste.

Great recipe. I made it without any meat and left out the broth. Used Sake instead. The sesame oil is essential for a full flavor. Also added the eggs during cooking, we like the smaller pieces. Used zucchini, carrots, mushrooms and lots of green onion and garlic. Served it with egg drop soup and had more than enough for a complete meal. Very easy and tastey.

I made this again the other day and I added chicken and shrimp to it for a main dish. This is very good. The whole family enjoyed this very much. Again, thank you, Stephanie

This was just like the rice at our favorite restaurant. I didn't use any meat and I added some carrots and celery but otherwise followed the directions, which were so simple the kids could help. The grown ups and the big kids really loved this, thanks Claudia Dawn.

Absolutely wonderful - exactly like you get in restaurants! I added frozen vegis to it and chow mein noodles on top, and it was excellent!

The sesame oil really does add great flavor to this recipe. I used bacon as the meat and very much enjoyed the final result.
