"You may think this is better than a Chinese restaurant, the secret is the garlic and sesame oil. Chopped cooked shrimp or strips of cooked chicken, beef or pork may be added in also, thawed frozen peas may be added in also, or be creative and use whatever is in your fridge! The amount of egg doesn’t matter you can use more if desired I always use more that three, if you like some heat add in cayenne pepper, make certain to use only cold rice for this and for the best results the rice should be cooked to slightly firm and not mushy. Prep time does not include cooking the rice "

I love Chinese food and decided to make some. I went directly to Kittencal's recipe, because she never disappoints me, and this rice was excellent! We loved the addition of the Sesame oil very much. I used leftover barbecued pork ribs meat in mine for the meat. Yum!

Such delicious rice! I wanted shrimp, so that is what I used. Great with duck sauce poured over the top, along with a few other things I made to complete the meal.

I added peas and used shrimp in place of chicken. We loved the rice along with our Shrimp Spring Rolls and Crab Rangoon!
