FRIED RICE (NOT!) Thats what my kids call this!! I got this recipe from my friend Bev, and it is a quick and easy side dish, that can be padded out with a few more veggies. I would suggest that you dont "muck around" with this too much the first time you make it, as I have tried to be too clever and it hasnt worked out as well!!! having said that, I have to say I usually add garlic and ginger, and I am sure you have a favorite ingredient you would like to add

SERVES 6 (change servings and units)

I actually used this recipe, added an extra half a cup of water and put two eggs in it at about the 15 minute mark. I love it and will definately use it again.

I saw the review for this on the Aussie/New Zealand community page, Swap #3 and had to try it. OH MY GOSH! Was this ever good. I still can't figure out how this rice got the same texture and flavor as take away, but it does and this couldn't be any easier. I love fried rice and as far as I am concerned the "buck stops here". I don't think I will ever bother to look at another fried rice recipe again.It was that good. Thank you for sharing this one.

I just had this for lunch today and I made it for lunch yesterday. It was amazing. I halved the recipe and it could be a very large meal for one or a side dish with leftovers. I must say I did muck around with it a bit but it turned out great. I used katsup instead of tomato sauce ,took out the bacon (I am a vegetarian), added 1/2 tablespoon extra soy sauce, I didn't have an onion so I left that out, added 1 1/2 teaspoons crushed red pepper for a little spice and added 1/2 cup extra veggies. I microwaved for about 7 minutes then gave it a stir because the rice was starting to burn on the edges, then I added the veggies added 1/4 of a cup of water and cooked for another 3 minutes. I used frozen peas, fresh broccoli, fresh carrots and bean sprouts (I added the bean sprouts at the end 'cause I like them cold for some reason) It was perfect, so easy and it tastes so great. I can't wait to make it again!
