“What a great way to use up little bits of leftover ingredients!I was looking for a recipe that would use up a small amount of leftover meat and rice and this fit the bill perfectly.This was very quick, easy, inexpensive, and tasty.This was indeed nothing like Asian style fried rice – this has a completely different taste.My family enjoyed this very much and we will make this again.The only changes I would make would be to decrease the amount of butter – I halved the butter and still felt I could have used nonstick butter flavor spray instead.I also thought the amount of soy sauce made this a little bit too salty – I would either reduce the amount or use lower sodium soy sauce.I suspect that the author perhaps eyeballs his soy sauce as he adds it to the rice – he instructs you to add soy sauce until the rice turns brown (so maybe he guessed approximately 1/4 cup and it is actually less?)Anyway, I still thought is was a very good family dish.”
“Oriental Fried Rice is equivalent to the Western casserole. My parents are oriental, and the ingredients that go into their fried rice would be whatever leftover from the previous nights. This recipe, in my opinion, is excellent. The secret to a successful fried rice dish is to use leftover rice, since it is less sticky and easier to manipulate.”
“I’m kind of on Walt’s side. In my opinion, the peas, green peppers, overdose of soy sauce, and butter are the recipe’s downfall. The second time I made it, I threw in bamboo shoots, diced red peppers, sliced water chestnuts, bean sprouts, chopped mushrooms, and diced carrots, all of which I stir-fried in a mixtute of peanut oil and sesame oil. As for meat, I included shredded, almost crispy, roast pork. Now THAT was fried rice!”
“This is a great recipe! I left out the green pepper and the peas, and made it more traditional with fresh bean sprouts and green onion shoots(chopped)… it was very close to my favorite take out fried rice! Thanks Robbie!”
“WALT!ARE YOU MINUS TASTEBUDS? I dont have to have tasted fried rice all over the world to know this is killer rice.Maybe I should prepare this dish for you, you must have not prepared it properly.You can also intensify the taste by cooking the rice in beef or chicken or vegtable broth.THIS IS A TERRIFIC DISH.”
“This wasn’t bad but not great either. For my money, the recipe’s major downfall was too much soy sauce. Next time I’d use about half as much and I think I’d likely add a couple more veggies as well.”
“I just made this today, and realized that I didn’t have any peas, so I used about 1/3 of a bag of frozen mixed vegetables (peas, corn, carrots, and green beans), thawed, and it was WONDERFUL!!! I looooove this recipe!!~Manda”
“I cooked the rice in chicken broth and I wouldn’t do that again.The chicken flavour was too overpowering.I also thought there was too much soy sauce.I only used half of the soy sauce called for and it was quite enough.”
“I put mushrooms in and kinda messed with the quantities (I used about 3 cups of rice) and everything came out yummy yummy.”
“Great recipe, I’ve used left over bbq pork and beef, it was fantastic. Used only half of the soy sauce as the meat was salty allready. Frist time didn’t have “mushed” rice, hehehe.Thank you.”
“This is great. My family are not fond of green peppers so I diced up some baby carrots instead and put them into my rice as I turned off the heat. When all was added to my wok w/chicken…my kids ate it up for lunch today.Walt you have no clue to whats good.”
“I made this dish once using shrimp and later beef. I have made it regularly ever since, freezing portions, then reheating them in the microwave in their plastic containers as a breakfast entree or snack. I find it convenient, fast, nutritious and tasty. Add a piece of fruit and you have a good breakfast.-Freeman Price-“
“I found that if you sautee your meat immediately beforehand and use the same pan for the rice the flavor is greatly intensified.”
“this recipe was very easy to make. i truly liked the taste n aroma.”
“Cooks very fast, in fact I prepared everything in under 30 mins (including the rice, which I didn’t chill) and tastes great!”
“I loved this recipe!”
“We really enjoyed this dish, I used about a cup of leftover chicken, added the peas and also some mushrooms. Didnt find the soy sauce ‘too much’ at all.Thanks for a quick, easy and tasty meal.”
“This is an Excellent rice recipe!Next time we’ll make it with more veggies, cooked until they are nicely sautéed in butter til veggies are still crisp, will use more eggs, and will use pork next time (we used chicken last time). I Love the versatility of this recipe with all the optional ingredients.We added carrots and celery, and I add whatever veggies I have on hand and it always turns out great. We don’t think it’s too salty, we used regular soy sauce and just added barely enough so that it was evenly colored.This is a definite hit at our house! I donât care if itâs âauthenticâ fried rice or not, I just know we love it!Thank-you Robbie for the Awesome recipe.”
“This fried rice is very much like what I’ve gotten at family-run Chinese restaurants for *years.*I added baby corn and left out the peppers and it was yummy!”
“This is simple and great tasting.This is just fabulous!”
