I found this to be an easy to prepare fried rice that went well with Vietnamese Spring Rolls that my wife made. I will, in the future, back off or even eliminate the celery or, perhaps better yet, chop it even finer (I had about 1/8" x 1/8" x 1/8" pieces this time). I think some chopped sugar pea pods would also go rather well with this dish. This dish will be welcome to return to my table.

Easy, tasty recipe! I cut it in half cause I only had 1 1/2 cups of rice. Used 1 egg instead of 1 1/2. Only had a few slices of onion so I added a couple diced garlic cloves. Used canned peas (recommend sticking with the frozen - canned too mushy). Also added diced precooked bacon. This recipe is very adaptable as far as ingredients. It's a definite keeper. Thanks Mona.

We get Chinese take out from time to time and never finish the rice, this is a great way to use it up. Great recipe, easy and fast. To make it healthier I used earth balance organic buttery spread, instead of soy sauce I used Braggs liquid Aminos, substituted tofu for eggs and added garlic because I add garlic to EVERYTHING :)...turned out awesome!

I had a lot of brown rice and quinoa leftover from yday and I'd never made fried rice before. After going thru a lot of Internet recipes, I chose this one. I used a can of peas instead of frozen, added some finely chopped kale, and some salad shrimp I had leftover in freezer. Sprinkled a little ginger and garlic sandp and also used half stick of unsalted butter and finished off a little grapeseed oil had in bottle in place of oleo. Turned out absolutely EXCELLENT!!!
