Reviews
This is exactly how I’ve made my fried rice for over 30 years. I always add cooked, chopped shrimp to it. The bacon is a very acceptable substitute for the Chinese sausages!
Excellent recipe, we really enjoyed it
Very good!!!!
This is just like a recipe my grandmother received from her Chinese hairdresser in the 1960’s. Our family has been making it ever since. Aways a hit!
This recipe is a winner!!! I rarely cook and my husband does a fantastic fried rice of his own but I tried this one today and both him and kids (ages 6 and 3 ate it up and had seconds! Best of all, it was easy and quick to prepare and I had all the ingredients at hand! Thank you Ming Tsai!
Great recipe!
Great recipe! Never used bacon before in this dish but it turned out really tasty. I’ve made this twice now!
I’ve never made fried rice before and thanks to Ming Tsai, I came out like a pro! My husband absolutely loved it. I did add frozen stir fry veggies for a very filling, tasty meal.
This was one of the best fried rice recipes I’ve made. My son snarfed it down! I didn’t have the sausage that was mentioned, so I cut up chicken breast. Then I marinated the chicken in some soy sauce with some of the garlic and ginger. Cooked chicken first and then followed the recipe. It’s a keeper! Thanks Ming!
This is how fried rice is done. This recipe is close to my Chinese grandfather’s, except that this is the basic fried rice. Add vegetables, spices, or anything else to taste to make this recipe your own.
