It says chicken fried rice, The recipe has no chicken in it. How do I cook the chicken> Every time I cook chicken, it comes out super dry.
I also added a TSP of Sesame oil
I made this and it turned out delicious. The only substitutions I made were sesame oil where it called for vegetable oil, and a little less than 1 tsp of black pepper. I tried doubling the recipe and it was good but something was missing, not sure what?
We love this recipe! We used sesame oil instead of vegetable oil. After dining at a Thai restaurant, we added a Thai twist. Fresh pineapple tidbits, golden raisins, a little garlic and red pepper flakes jazz it up. The next time we made it, we added shredded leftover duck breast!
Delicious! Took other reviewers recommendations to cook in sesame oil, add ginger, red pepper flakes, sliced water chestnuts, thawed peas, corn, green beans – what a treat!!
It was simple and easy to make. I also added onions, pees, carrots, and carrots. We loved it. Thank you
Good base recipe. A few changes and choices: I used sesame oil instead of vegetable oil, added just .5 tsp black pepper, but added .5 tsp garlic powder as well. For the chicken, I used boneless, skinless chicken thighs cooked in oil and seasoned with salt and pepper. It definitely can use a little extra something, so I would try adding some bell pepper and/or peas. I also might add an extra cup of rice, because the ratio of rice to other items seemed a little low.
Love this one! Do make sure the rice is cold, though. We also add a can of chicken to it before serving.
Excellent
This is a good base recipe and leaves a lot of room for you to add in things to your liking. Use toasted sesame oil it changes everything and has a wonderful taste. Other add in options, meat, bean sprouts, green onion, garlic. The options are endless.
Very good recipe. Just looking at the ingredients and I see this recipe might need some flavoring. I added a chopped green pepper and added that to the onions to saute. I also added 2 tspns of red pepper paste while I cooked my chicken, then used that pan to cook the eggs. Also used that pan for the rest of the recipe. I added 2 cloves of garlic, sliced thin, and finely chopped about 1 tspn of ginger, adding them to the sauteing onion and pepper. At end of recipe I added steamed broccoli.
I have made this chicken fried rice so many times. I cook it exactly as recipe calls for and add peas at the end. So delicious as easy to make!
It was delicious, not heavy but light! I substituted pork for the chicken and was just as good!
This is a great recipe! I omitted the chicken, bc I was serving a teryaki chicken. Added a bag of cooked frozen carrots and peas. Perfect
Really good! I added a bit more garlic and would add more soy sauce next time, but easily the best I’ve ever been able to make at home!
Really good. Will continue to tweak the recipe to make more spicy but other than that it was great.
Didn’t have onions so I used dried chives. Added frozen mixed veggies and it was still awesome!!!
This recipe is amazing! substituted chicken with shrimp, delicious!
It was really good! I think next time I’ll do 1/4 tsp less pepper

This has become my son’s favorite meal. Thank you
