Here’s a simple, delicious fried rice recipe that even beginners can make with ease. Mixing the eggs into the rice before cooking helps each grain stay separate, so you can make restaurant-style fried rice at home. This version uses popular roast pork as the filling and keeps the seasoning simple. The savory aroma of soy sauce is irresistible and makes it feel like you’re eating at a Chinese restaurant. The key to making fried rice is to stir-fry it over high heat!

I didn’t have any chashu, so I used bacon instead, but my kids, who love fried rice, were thrilled and said, “Delicious!” They finished every last bite! 😆 I’d always struggled with it turning out soggy, but this time I made properly fluffy, delicious fried rice!!

I finally made the fluffy, separate-grain fried rice I’d been hoping for 🎉 I used 4 teaspoons of chicken stock powder 🥄 I’m not a fan of char siu, so I used bacon instead ჱ̒⸝⸝•̀֊•́⸝⸝)✨✨ I focused a little too much on keeping the heat high, so some of the ingredients got slightly burnt 🔥 but it was still a big success 🍀

It was my first time making it by mixing the egg into the rice first, but it turned out to be nice and fluffy fried rice♪ I used 2 leaves of romaine lettuce instead of green onion☆

It was easy to make and turned out delicious!! Instead of soy sauce, I used the sauce that came with the roast pork to season it, so it ended up with a sweet and salty flavor.

It comes together quickly, turns out nice and fluffy, and tastes delicious!! I used to be bad at making fried rice, but with this recipe, I can make it without failing ^_^

I had some roast pork left over from yesterday, so today I tried making roast pork fried rice. The ingredients were simple and it was ready in no time! And it was really delicious.

I think this was my first time making fried rice using only sesame oil. I added narutomaki too, and I think that was a good choice.

It was my first time making this, but it turned out easy and delicious ⭕️ I also tossed in some leftover bacon 🥓 lol My boyfriend, who loves fried rice, was a big fan too—I got three stars ⭐️⭐️⭐️ from him. It was wonderfully light and fluffy, but maybe a little too fluffy—the only downside was that even when I packed it into a bowl and turned it out onto a plate, it fell apart right away!

I live alone, so I tried making a single serving. I didn’t have chashu, so I substituted diced bacon. About 180 g rice 5 cm long green onion 1 egg 1/2 tsp chicken stock powder 2 pinches salt 1 tsp soy sauce 1 tbsp sesame oil each It turned out delicious.

I love fried rice made with ground meat and finely chopped cabbage, so I used this as a reference hoping to find a way to make it even better. The seasoning with sesame oil, soy sauce, and chicken stock powder is absolutely delicious! It’s brown and not photogenic at all, haha, but the flavor is amazing! I’m sure char siu would be delicious too, but I recommend using ground meat because it means fewer dishes to wash, haha. I also used pre-cut green onions, and overall it was so easy and tasty! It’s a dependable recipe that you can make even when you’re tired, and it’s really satisfying.
