What a perfect way to make use of leftover rice! Hubby said, "This tastes just like the stuff from a Chinese restaurant...only better." To make this more authentic, I didn't cook the egg right in the rice mixture. I cooked it in a small saute pan like a crepe, then added it chiffonade style. (Roll the "egg crepe" up like a cigar, then slice into ribbons...then add to rice mixture just before serving) Beautiful and delicious dish!

yes!!!! this is what fried rice should taste like. The most important thing is to use cold rice! I have tried recipe after recipe and they are always gross because I have never used cold rice. The only changes I made was to add some extra veggies (steamed broccoli and snow peas instead of frozen peas) and I left out the parsley caus I am not a huge fan. I added a dash of ginger and a dash of seaseme oil as well. This recipe is very versatile and that's part of the point of fried rice, to get rid of the left overs in your fridge. I can imagine adding ham or chicken to this and it would be delicious as well. Thanks for the great recipe!

I enjoyed this better than from my usual carryout chinese. Less greasy and I increased the amount of veggies. I did saute the onion and carrots before adding to the rice and used a red onion since that is what I had on hand. Brown rice and left over pork worked well with the combination of veggies and eggs. Variations abound with the basics. Thanks for a simple and delightful dish!

We liked this alot...I added broccoli, and diced a small white onion because my green onion did not look fresh, half soy sauce and half teryiaki sauce from "baked teryiaki chicken " recipe from this site. Served this on the side of the chicken...Will definately make this again!! The only thing that I will do differently is to scramble the egg by itself then add it at the end- when I added it into the mix, it really did not scramble, it just kind of mixed in with the rice and veggies and you didn't have pieces of egg like you do in restaurant style fried rice. Other than that, it was great!

Very easy and very good! I think I used a touch more oil to prevent sticking to the pan. Make sure you keep things moving until the egg is set, it'll stick in a flash if you're not watching it.

This was great - I used it to jazz up a brown/wild rice medley - I used chicken pan drippings in place of the oil, regular onion and dried parsley. Had a nice mild flavor. Family enjoyed it very much.

Came out very tasty, but I was iffy about adding the egg, which I don't think enhanced the texture of the rice at all. I added a little butter (1tbsp) to the rice when it was nearly cooked which seemed to remedy the texture of the egg! Very tasty overall.

This is a great recipe! So good and so easy to make. I used a little bit more soy sauce than called for, and I would saute the carrots before adding everything else since they were still crunchy at the end. Other than that, I wouldn't change a thing.

Yum! I knew this was a winner when my husband sat down to dinner, tasted this dish and was silent until every bit of rice was gone. Such a wonderful change of pace instead of the old ho-hum rice w/ gravy. Thanks for a great recipe.
