    I love the fried rice at Benihana's, and this is indeed just like it! Great recipe; now I can enjoy it at home.

    ABSOLUTELY DELICIOUS !! I made this last night with Roasted Resemary Chicken with Lemon/Soy sauce (recipe # 60201). It was great together. I followed the recipe exactly but switched the carrots for waterchestnuts ..(out of carrots). My DH inhaled the rice and I'm glad I didn't double it as I considered, because he would have eaten it all..and he's trying to diet Thanks for posting this....and by the way, I'm going to make it again tonight to have with our leftover chicken for tacos.

    Love it, love it, love it!!! I have never had Benihana's rice but this is absolutely delicious. I am Thai and make lots of Thai fried rice for my BF, which is very tasty... but when I want a very mild flavored fried rice to serve with some stir fry, I always turn to this recipe. My BF refuses to eat 'plain, white rice' (steamed Jasmine rice) so this rice is great for him. I also love how beautifully it fries up in the wok. Make sure to let your rice cool after you cook or otherwise you will end up with a big sticky mess intead of beautifully soft separate grains of rice.
