We love fried rice! This is a quick and easy version.

Blue Ribbon Recipe

With simple ingredients and a few easy steps, you can make the best fried rice. Onions and garlic are cooked in sesame oil and soak up the sesame flavor. Peas and carrots add a touch of sweetness and another layer of flavor. We opted for chicken when testing. But add your favorite protein, and you have a complete meal. A trick to make delicious fried rice is to add the rice while the egg is slightly wet. We'll be making this easy fried rice recipe again and again.
