It takes 10 minutes to prep all the ingredients--Who are they kidding? Otherwise a great way to use up Chinese delivered rice! I also added soy sauce to turn the rice brownish. Used leftover tenderloin pork and the core of butter lettuce. Two generous portions with some leftovers. Will see how leftover leftovers do!
This is good. I mostly followed recipe, except added a clove of minced garlic with the ginger and used romaine instead of iceberg lettuce which I’d recommend. Used leftover pork tenderloin and a few shrimp, no ham. I’m not crazy about the method. When it was done it tasted okay but was too wet and too white. So I stir fried it a couple minutes to dry it out and try to brown a little, but it still didn’t look right so I added a little soy sauce at the end, mainly for color. Then it was good.
I will never make fried rice again any other way!! This was delicious and so straightforward!
