This has the flavor those other recipes are missing. Tastes like take-out. I want to dedicate this dish to Bergy, whose recipe, "AM & B's Indonesian Mehoon", has inspired this dish.

A fabulously delicious, highly versatile recipe, easy-to-follow instructions, and very much the tastiest fried rice I've ever eaten. I had all my ingredients ready before I started cooking: essential with fast-moving wok dishes! Like most reviewers, I loved the method of cooking the eggs, especially as I used 4 golden-yolked free-range eggs fresh from a work colleague's farm. And I loved the inclusion of sesame oil. I added 4 cloves of minced garlic to the onions, grated my carrot and added two cups of thinly sliced mushrooms and a small tin of well-drained, halved water chestnuts. Loved the beanshoots in this: for me, a must-include ingredient. Next time I make this, I'm planning on also adding some snow-peas. A huge thank you for sharing this recipe, Sue L. I'll be making it often - both as a stand alone dish and as a side dish. And since it does re-heat so well, I'll certainly make a larger quantity next time. Made for PRMR.

    This is the best homemade fried rice recipe I have ever tried!! I love the taste of sesame oil so I added an extra tsp near the end when you add in the soy sauce. We have made this with and without chicken and it is amazing either way. Great recipe!!

    This is the best recipe for Chinese fried rice! My family and I enjoyed it ,there wasn't a scrap left. We're use to the Chinese take-out, but this recipe is even better. I would recommend this to anyone who has a craving for good authentic Chinese fried rice.I have to admit I added a whole lot more soy sauce.This is a easy to make and tasty.

    We loved this!! My family is big on restaurant fried rice, but we only get it when we eat out. I attempted to make it several time years ago with disasterous results. After reading several threads here on using left-over rice, I went hunting for a good recipe and found this one! There was none left, and I won't be afraid to make it again. I'll confess, I used probably twice as much soy sauce, and added and extra dash of sesame oil - personal taste, and not heart-smart, but, hey, what can I say?
