This was great. I have never been able to make good fried rice and I think I found a great recipe to stick with. It did seem to be missing a little something, I think I might add a little garlic or something next time I make it, but it was wonderful just the same. I am a huge Pork Fried Rice junkie. I order it for lunch at least twice a week when I'm at work (the girl at the counter always laughs at me and asks if I want "my usual".) The best thing about this recipe is it has all the things I miss about fried rice I used to get in Minnesota. I have yet to find a recipe that adds anything more than peas, carrots and onions to it's fried rice here in Columbia Missouri. Thanks for the recipe, it's a keeper!

Finally found a quick and easy recipe that works every time! I love fried rice. Any kind. I have never actually measured out the ingredients, but i have made it with anything I had in the fridge! Bean sprouts or not, who cares. No mushrooms? Didn't notice. But I always add a little sauteed garlic & celery. Corn, peas or peppers if I have them really add to the flavor.

Great as is, but I did make a couple of changes:<br/><br/>I added some garlic powder (not salt), bumped up the soy and used short grain Asian rice (CalRose style). I cooked the rice in my rice cooker and threw it into the freezer in a ziplock for an hour to cool it off. It probably could've been colder, but it worked.<br/><br/>As we're not huge bean sprouts and mushroom fans here in my house, I pan-sauteed diced finely-diced fresh carrots and chopped fresh broccoli. <br/><br/>The leftovers are completely gone, which is highly unusual in our home!

This really was fabulous. I used frozen peas instead of bean sprouts and just regular onions. It could use more soy sauce when cooking. Next time I would probably add 1/3 cup of soy sauce instead of just the 3 tbsp... but you can also add the soy sauce to your own dish. My husband thought it was excellent also!

I made this last night for dinner and it was good, but I might have used too much oil because it was really greasy. Didn't have bean sprouts, so I subbed peas and carrots. Diced up a boneless pork chop and 1 was the perfect amount. Used the amount of soy sauce called for, but subbed cayenne pepper for 1/2 of the black pepper. Sprinkled it with garlic powder and about 1/2-1 teaspoon of chili sauce. Next time will cut back on the oil and add water chestnuts and try with beef and/or shrimp. Very good recipe. Thanks for sharing. I never have made a fried rice that tasted very good until now.

This was a fantastic use of leftovers from my Montreal Pork Au Poivre recipe (also on Zaar). I had about 1 1/2 cups of pork, I substituted an 8 oz can of water chestnuts (chopped) for the mushrooms, and I omitted the eggs. Next time I'll use a little less soy sauce, because my pork was a little salty already. We LOVED this, and will use this regularly for leftover pork. Thanks!!!

After DH and I moved away from the farm, and to the city...I haven't done as much cooking and very little canning. But I do come to Zaar and look for new recipes once in a while. I'm still cooking Zaar!!
I like to play at Facebook, with my family and friends. A lot of my Zaar friends are there!! Yay! It's a good way to keep in touch.
We travel more. We're looking at the European trips now. Hope to go in the springtime. I really want to see London, I think I lived there in a past life, I've been obsessed with it since I was 10 years old!!
