"soooo good! I made it with chicken. I didn't have the veggies... but it was fantastic anyway. I can't believe I have not made homemade fried rice before. I will be making this again very soon!
I fried up the onion and chicken in a small amount of oil at the same time that I cooked the rice in my rice cooker. I then set aside the chicken and onions and fried up the eggs. Then I mixed everything together and added soy sauce to taste and fried it a little. SO YUMMY" - Geegir

    Recipe turned out good! I used about 2cups of cold left over white rice. Two eggs, packet of soy sauce. Onion and red pepper. I seasoned eggs w/ black pepper before cooking. Reading reviews I would recommend soy sauce to taste. Mine was very flavorful

    As a first attempt it came out flavorless. I will try again because I wasn't sure if I should add the soy sauce during the cooking process or after. Will make again to see if it gets better next time.

    I thought this rice was very flavorless i would not recommend making this rice unless you are going to add more to it.

    Good job the other reviews said the rice should be pre-cooked. The recipe assumes a lot, which is not good for someone like me who is trying new things for the first time, and has no common sense. I tried it with a frozen pack of chinese stir-fry veggies (pre-cooked) plus onion and garlic. Delicious! Then the next day I had the left overs with mixed salad and cashew nuts. SO NICE!

    Maybe I didn't do it right but it wasn't so great

    I didn't make it yet but salt isn't listed as one of the ingredients so I have no idea how much to use.

    Loved this super easy recipe! Boiled the rice in seafood broth and added lots of garlic powder. This recipe is a perfect start where you can pretty much add anything and it's still awesome. Delish!
