Chinese Fried Rice

Recipe #38748 | 28 min | 10 min prep | SERVES 4 (Change Servings)

RECIPE BY: Sue L

This has the flavor those other recipes are missing. Tastes like take-out. I want to dedicate this dish to Bergy, whose recipe, "AM & B's Indonesian Mehoon", has inspired this dish.

    This was good and easy. I made it twice before rating and both times my family liked it. The second time I replaced the peas with thinly sliced green cabbage due to family request. I also left out the bean sprouts both times, we're not fans. Will make again. Thanks. :]

    This is the best recipe for Chinese fried rice! My family and I enjoyed it ,there wasn't a scrap left. We're use to the Chinese take-out, but this recipe is even better. I would recommend this to anyone who has a craving for good authentic Chinese fried rice.I have to admit I added a whole lot more soy sauce.This is a easy to make and tasty.

    We loved this!! My family is big on restaurant fried rice, but we only get it when we eat out. I attempted to make it several time years ago with disasterous results. After reading several threads here on using left-over rice, I went hunting for a good recipe and found this one! There was none left, and I won't be afraid to make it again. I'll confess, I used probably twice as much soy sauce, and added and extra dash of sesame oil - personal taste, and not heart-smart, but, hey, what can I say?
