This was very good! I was running behind and used frozen mixed veggies instead of the celery and carrots and it worked out great. I added the rice at the end and then added the soy sauce. Very simple to make and a yummy dish to eat. I served alongside Chef Dee's Lemon Chicken. Thanks for posting another wonderful recipe!

Whipped this up last night, took a hint from another review and used a combination of frozen peas and carrots. I also cut back on the sesame oil by one tablespoon due to a bad experience I had once when I used too much and it made me sick. I cut up some leftover smoked pork chops for the meat and didn't put as much soy sauce in as called for, I thought DH could add more if he wanted. This stuff came out absolutely awesome! It smells and tastes exactly like take out, and so easy to make! Thanks for the recipe, I'll make this again and again!

Wow...this turned out terrific Chef Dee. I cooked my rice in the morning in homemade chicken stock and chilled it in the fridge all day. I stir fried my veggies in a little olive oil, as I don't like the taste of sesame oil. I added just a couple of drops of seseme oil when I added the rice. I also added a handful of fresh sprouts. It turned out great and was very easy to make. Thanks for sharing.

I make this alot. If you love fried rice this is a great recipe. I use bacon drippings for frying vegetables instead of sesame oil for more flavor,(not the healthiest, but the taste is good) and add 1 can of bean sprouts. I do sprinke on a little sesame oil at the end of cooking. Everything else the same. Thanks for posting Chef Dee

This recipe is a keeper. I made it with brown rice, green onions and omitted the ham/pork. DS had 3 servings and DD also liked it but picked out the peas. I used 1 cup of raw brown rice and it made slightly more than the 1 1/2 cups of cooked rice the recipe calls for. I used all of the cooked rice and kept the same measurements for the veggies and it turned out perfect. I will definitely make this again.

I didn't use any meat as I was making Bourbon Chicken to go with it. I just added the carrots and peas and some mushrooms. Great choice to go with my main dish! Oh, and by the way, I did use brown rice and it didn't make a difference at all! The key to good fried rice is to start out with COLD rice, not hot. That may have been the downfall of some of the other posters.

I loved this! I threw some chicken tenders in the oven while I was cooking the rice and used that instead of ham or pork. I also used frozen peas and carrots, and I used a whole onion. I would slightly reduce the soy sauce next time, but that's just me; the rest of the family thought it was perfect. Thanks!
