    • Reviews

  • “Very simple to do, and needs little ingredients.Great for that last minute meal.”

  • “Great easy recipe.Kids love it too.I added some bacon and chopped onion for extra flavor.”

  • “This was good and easy.I could not get the rice to brown until I added abit of soy sauce.Next time I will add an extra egg or two.I added frozen mixed vegies, thawed under running water.It did not taste like restaurant fried rice, thats why only 4 stars, but it was still good and a keeper.”

  • “Terrible directions. Stir-fry whatever needs cooking first, including a slightly beaten egg, then add the COLD cooked rice, seasonings and some decent peas.”

  • “Great recipe!It was easy and tasty.It also has lots of room for modifications.I really like it with ginger. Very authentic.”

  • “Better than local take out and easy to make!Thanks so much!”

  • “I used this recipe for our take out meal.I served this with mongolian beef and hot and sour soup.thank you for sharing this recipe.”

  • “LOVED THIS RECIPE!!Next time will add some chopped chicken or cubed tofu for a low fat dinner.Thanks for sharing! :)”

  • “I made this tonight with my 8 yr old and 3 yr old sons.It was SO yummy!We used a bag of frozen mixed veggies and a medium chopped onion.We also added the ginger powder as suggested.Everyone raved how delicious this rice was.We will definitely make this again.”

  • “Very good!I made a few minor changes, such as the entire can of peas and two eggs, as I had quite a bit of rice to use up, plus I just like lots of goodies.I also added two green onions. I cranked up the heat to high when cooking the rice so it wouldn’t take quite so long and would brown up nicely.I served with teriyaki chicken tenders that I just laid on top of the rice in a pretty casserole dish; the presentation was great!Very tasty.Thanks a bunch!”

  • “This was a nice, quick, easy and tasty dish that I served with Easy Asian Skillet #153616. With the exception of adding some chopped green onions, I followed the directions exactly as written. As someone else mentioned, I too could not get the rice to brown, but I doubt that affected the outcome.My husband felt is was a bit on the dry side, but I didn’t, so I believe it’s just a matter of tastes.I would make this again and it will be added to my regular rotation.This is a perfect side dish for a workweek side dish, although I could see adding ham, shrimp and/or chicken to it elevating it to a main dish possibly.Thanks Crystal Gaitan for a welcome addition to my menu plan as well as to the Zaar community.Keep it up!”

  • “This is a very good, basic fried rice recipe.My family loves the fried rice from a local chinese restaurant, but I need to cut back on the dining out.Thanks for posting.”

  • “This was a great, simple recipe. I added a teaspoon of balsamic vinegar and it tasted really good. My two year old had 2 helpings! “

  • “This recipe was easy, though I could never get the rice to “brown”. Maybe I had too much oil.It was still good.I added a touch of fresh ginger, an onion, green onions, and two eggs.I would definitely cook this again.”

  • “This recipe really got me going on Fried Rice!I hate complicated recipes!This gave me the basics, I mixed in Chicken, Mushrooms & Garlic (no peas & carrots left in the cabinets).Thanks!”

  • “Fast and simple… I added some fresh Ginger to mine. “

  • “Who knew fried rice was this easy?I did add some leftover chicken and used butter instead of oil (taste preference), but we loved it!Thanks for the easy and great tasting recipe!!”

  • “I made this to go along with some plain chicken.I din’t add the peas since my kids would not have eaten it.I didn’t want to dirty another pan so I just made a whole/well in the middle of the rice when it was in the pan (I pushed it to the sides) and then dropped the egg in the middle, scrambled it and let it cook, scrambling it the whole time, and then mixed it in with the surrounding rice.Worked great.”
