Better Than Take-Out Fried Rice

On my way to 100 recipes in 100 days.  Here is recipe 81: Better Than Take-Out Fried Rice.

On vacation last month, we ate at this really wonderful Japanese restaurant.  They had a Teppanyaki table where they cooked right in front of us.  After eating there twice and watching carefully how the chef  made the fried rice, I decided to take on the task at home.

Better Than Take-Out Fried Rice

It seems to work best to have rice that was cooked the day before.  I made rice and then just stuck it in the fridge to use the next day.  And, I only had to use one large skillet for the whole thing.  Perfect.

  1. We love fried rice here too! The only difference is that I add 2 tablespoons of Hoisin sauce to the soy and sesame seed oil. I also, occasionally use brown rice to make it more healthy. I love how you show the ease of making this wonderful dish! XOXO
