Reviews
This is a good, basic and relatively easy recipe. Good when your pantry or fridge is low. Or you have a hankering for fried rice but not up for a lot of prep work! I only used 1 c water (vs 1.5) because my Jasmine rice said 3 c liquid to 2 c rice. I also added a chopped onion and can of drained mushrooms – sautéd in oil (vs butter) and added rice/egg mixture when they were soft. For me; needed double the soy sauce. Again, nothing fancy but good fried rice! Could easily adjust to add another protein or veggies! Thank you!
It was easy to make.My family loved it
This recipe was easy to follow and so very tasty. Instead of making 4 servings, I made 8 bc everyone here loves fried rice. The rice did not survive the night … LOL! I did leave out the salt & used low sodium soy sauce. I also added 1 tbsp ground ginger, it was very tasty.
Loved it – it was easy. Added large chop onion stir fried until soft .
