This is a real find for anyone on a diet. I made it with bacon plus a little bit of leftover cooked chicken. It was great! Bye bye, fried rice.

    I agree. This tastes good without the frying. Very nice flavor. I used leftover pork loin. I also added a little chopped carrot for extra color. I'll be making this again!

    A great low-fat alternative to fried rice, which I’ll make again. Tasted very much like the real thing, but much lower in fat! I thawed the peas and I added some broccoli florets in step two and a handful of fresh beanshoots after step three. Served with Miller’s Soused Mushrooms Soused Mushrooms. Very tasty low-fat meal. Next time, I'm going to use snow peas instead of the frozen peas. Thanks for sharing!

    We love fried rice and we loved this new way of preparing it without oil. I made as written, using a frozen pea and carrot blend and some leftover char sui for the meat. I let the frozen veggies sit out for about a half hour before dumping the hot rice on top. I also used half the amount of uncooked rice but left the amounts of the other ingredients the same. This is a great quick and easy side dish and I'll be making it again. Thanks for posting this recipe homegirl

    If only we had know of unfried rice before. This was amazing and I will make it often now that I know how. Because I was using egg whites only I decided to cook them along with the bacon and spring onions. I used Weight Watcher’s bacon (very lean short cuts) to lower the fat content even more. I lightly cooked the bacon along with the spring onions in a medium pan, added the peas then pushed them to one side in the pan to cook the egg whites. When the whites were cooked I added the spices and soy to the bacon mixture and mixed them together along with the cooked whites, which didn’t need chopping because they were soft – they just stirred into the mixture in pieces. Then I continued with the recipe as written. It was so quick and easy and my husband loved it. Thank you homegirl for sharing your recipe. We think it is worth more than five stars. Glen

    Love this recipe, as a new owner of a rice cooker I am very impressed! I added some green prawns to the rice at the last 12 minute mark then dumped the other ingredients in when it changed to the warm cycle and I needed to fluff up the rice. Totally delicious!

    Pretty good, especially for a healthy recipe. I didn't have any meat available, but you could probably use left over chicken. I added frozen carrots and it tasted all right. I'm not a fan of soy sauce in general, so you could try teriyaki sauce or oyster sauce to give it a different flavor.

    This is hearty enough to be a meal on its own, but I served it as a side with Hoisin Salmon and Sesame Roasted Green Beans. My husband is a fried rice fan, and he really enjoyed the blend of flavors.

    Very good. The flavour was divine. I just found that mine turned out a bit "sticky". Other than that, I enjoyed the dish.
