I love fried rice. I always assumed it would be easy to make, but I probably couldn’t master it as well as I would like. After all, usually nothing tastes as good as your favorite restaurant’s fried rice. And well my favorite restaurant’s fried rice is so delicious, I didn’t even want to try and compete. The restaurant is called Shogun and is a Japanese steakhouse where they cook the food in front of you. Their friend rice is incomparable. Seriously the most delicious stuff ever.
Anyways, I came across this handy podcast on iTunes from Start Cooking that had an easy enough friend rice recipe, that I thought I’d give it a shot. The rice was absolutely delicious. No it was nothing like Shogun’s but it was easy and flavorful enough that I liked it just the same. I even made it for my family back home and they all loved it as well.
