Mrs. Seiko's Fried Rice
"This came from a dear Japanese friend of mine who was also my daughter's piano teacher when we lived in Japan. A lot of times I will make this recipe with leftover meat. :)
Do not let the oyster sauce scare you. :) It can be found in the Asian part of most grocery stores."

Having a Chinese mother, I was practically brought up eating fried rice...and it's the same for my children now,it's one of their favourite meals.<br/>I was interested to see how the wine and oyster sauce affected the flavour, as it's not something that I (or my mother) have added before.<br/>The oyster sauce did add some depth to the flavour, but I didn't think the wine did much (maybe sake would be better!) so next time I'll just pour it into a glass for me to drink!!<br/>I used leftover roasted chicken, carrots, peas, beans and sweetcorn....all clean plates!<br/>Thanks SweetsLady- Made for PRMR. -
Such a great recipe. I used brown rice and egg beaters instead of eggs. I used chicken as the meat and used an array of veggies, carrots, asparagus, cabbage and red peppers. So yummy and easy. The flavor was great, and I agree with Nimz that the oyster sauce is the key. -
Loved this! It's our new fried rice recipe! Thanks SweetsLady..... -
For some reason this didn't work for me, which leads me to believe I did something wrong. My rice became the consistency of wallpaper paste, and the flavor wasn't great. Will try again and vary some conditions--let's see if that helps. -
Great recipe. Very easy to prepare. I used hoisin sauce in place of the oyster sauce, low sodium soy sauce, chopped leftover pork filets, peas, carrots and asparagus, and added some minced garlic.

Delicious and very versatile recipe! I used leftover pork for this. The veggies that I chose were bok choy, broccoli, carrots, onions and water chestnuts. I replaced 1 tbsp of canola oil for sesame oil. The possible variations of this recipe are endless! Thanx for sharing! -
This was really a great fried rice recipe! I used shrimp and sake, and substituted clam juice for the oyster sauce. It is really wonderful. Not your typical take-out fried rice. Thanks S/L! -Bird-
