I made more rice, so I added more soy, sesame oil, garlic, and ginger. Our friends enjoyed it as much as we did. I served it with Asian bbq chicken from CL. I will make it again. Edited to add that when I made this again, I added sauteed onions andsauteed diced red pepper. The color added to the eye appeal and contributed more flavor.
Fried Rice with Broccoli and Eggs
Stir-frying rice is a great way to turn leftover rice into a quick and easy meal. It's important that the rice is cold so it won't become sticky while cooking; the oil coats the chilled grains and prevents clumping.
