I love fried rice, will have to try this. I don't care for ham but some cubed leftover chicken should work. Thanks for the recipe.

I love fried rice. To save a step, I scramble the egg right in the pan. Just move the rice to the sides, crack the egg right in, scramble and cook, then mix with the rice.

How long does oyster sauce keep after opening? Do you have a preferred brand? Thanks.

Yes! With shrimp!

Fully cooked rice is available in 1 cup servings, time saver.

I don't mind cooking rice but it's just me so the pre-cooked is handy.

I don't like that boil in bag rice, you cook it in the boiling water.

Just doesn't taste good to me.

Uncle Ben's has a Ready Rice and Minute Rice makes a Ready-to-Serve rice.

Add whatever you'd like. I keep a bag of frozen peas and cubed carrots to add some to fried rice.

Uncle Ben's has a Ready Rice and Minute Rice makes a Ready-to-Serve rice.

I prepare Uncle Ben's Brown Ready Rice (8.8 oz pkg) for my recipe:

1 1/2 tbsp oyster sauce

1 tbsp soy sauce

2 tbsp peanut or vegetable oil

2 lightly-beaten eggs

1/2 cup frozen peas or pea/carrot mix. thawed

1/4 lb baked ham cut into 1/4" cubes

1 tsp minced garlic

3/4 cups bean sprouts

3 scallions, sliced thin

Mix oyster and soy sauces in small bowl. Heat 3/4 tsp oil in nonstick skillet over medium heat until smoking. Add eggs without stirring until just set. Scramble and break into small pieces and cook for 1 minute, stirring constantly. Place in small bowl.

Heat 1 1/4 tbsp oil over high heat until smoking. Add peas and ham and cook for 1/2 minute, stirring constantly. Stir in garlic for 1/2 minute. Add rice and oyster sauce mixture and cook for 3 minutes, stirring constantly. Add eggs, bean sprouts, and scallions and cook for 1 minute, stirring constantly.

I ran out of white rice so I used Jasmine rice the last time I made fried rice. It was delicious. I chill or at least cool the rice before the actual stir fry begins. It avoids any gumminess. I add similar ingredients to what has been mentioned but always add bacon, some pork, and sliced scallions and veggies that are on hand. We make a meal out of it for one or two days. Oh, and this seasoning blend: "Simply Asian Sweet Garlic Seasoning".

@tucsongal, I do the same with the egg. I also add lots of scallions and some peas to mine, along with shrimp. So delicious and easy.

@shortbreadlover

I made this for dinner tonight - delish!

I used shrimp because that is what I had handy.

Thank you for posting your recipe!

It looks better in real life, the colors with this camera tend to get washed out looking.

I made this today and it was very good. Love the versatility of it. You can make it plain or fancy. I started with frying 1/2 an onion. Added leftover rotisserie chicken and a pouch of microwave steamer veggies (blend containing snow peas, broccoli, water chestnuts and more). It was quick, easy and good. DH and I finished it off. Will make it again for sure. Great recipe!
