Do any of you have a good and flavorful recipe for fried rice? I've look everywhere and nothing seems appeasing.

The hippie gourmet's vegetable fried rice is one of my favorites. If you google it you can watch the episode where he prepares this dish. My niece wants me to make this for her every time she visits, but with corn only for the veg.

I make a very large pan of rice so it can sit in the fridge a day or two before I make fried rice.

3 T. Vegetable oil
2 lg eggs, beaten
1 c. diced meat; pork, chicken, shrimp I leave whole tails cut off
1/2 c. green onions, sliced (use green parts also)
3 c. cooked rice, cooled
1 T. Soy sauce
1/2 t. Sesame seed oil

In large skillet or wok heat 1 T. oil over medium heat. Add eggs & cook without stirring until set. Invert skillet over cutting board to remove cooked eggs. Cut into 1 1/2"x 1/2" strips I dab with paper towel to remove any excess oil then set aside. In same skillet heat remaining oil over medium high heat. Stir fry meat if raw, if precooked stir fry onions at same time as precooked meat for 3 minutes or until tender. Stir in cooked rice & egg strips,(or other add ins below) sprinkle with soy sauce & stir well to mix, heat through then add sesame seed oil mix throughly I serve with rice noodles for crunch.

This is only a guide line I never follow a recipe when I make mine. You can add diced up mushrooms, cooked carrots, peas for color too. I've used regular white or yellow onions if I don't have green onions on hand.

I do what Jaxson does but I add already-steamed broccoli and sirarcha sauce for kick.

Oh, and I use coconut oil instead of vegetable oil.

And I've never measured -- I just throw it all in.

But aside from that, it's identical to Jaxson's.

I never measure either I had to give a guestimation I've used peanut & coconut oil also.

I make bacon fried rice without using a recipe. I don't cook the eggs first, just make a big well in the rice after it is cooked, put in a dab of butter, pour in the eggs, cook and the chop up and mix with the rest. I also mix in broccoli slaw to add a veg to the rice.

Add some diced cooked bacon. Seriously. I'm not a bacon fanatic, but it makes it awesome.
Save 1 tablespoon of bacon drippings and fry your rice in the bacon fat ( not the oil). OMG its so good. When they ask what you did, say "I dunno. Just threw some stuff together."
