Good idea putting spinach in fried rice, but the flavor was a bit bland. That's easily fixable though.

Yum! Brought it to a potluck and everyone loved it! I didn't have a lot of rice, so I only used 2 cups with the same amount of veggies, and also added a pinch of ginger powder. EXCELLENT way to use spinach--I never would have thought of this!

I agree, a great way to eat your spinach. I found the dish lacking a bit of flavor though. I stirred in some oyster sauce and that seemed to do the trick.
