I changed a few things in this recipe: removed red pepper and replaced white rice with brown rice. This is what I used: brown rice (which was cooked with chicken broth, dried onion & dried garlic, and salt, carrots, peas, scallions, white onion, egg, garlic, ginger and tamari. I think since the rice was cooked with chicken broth, garlic and onion , it gave the overall dish more flavor. Next time I will reduce the amount of tamari though,it came out a bit salty. That also could have been due to the salt in the rice already. I paired this with fresh steamed broccoli and a tangy orange chicken breast, which was sweet so it balanced out the saltiness of the rice. Overall I loved it, it was easy and definitely much healthier than takeout!

I have cooked fried rice before and had great success...I wanted something different....this recipe is different for sure, but not in a good way....now I'm wondering why I chose one of Rachel Ray for my inspiration......this had no taste....it needs salt, sesame oil.....and a sweet soy sauce. Will not make again.
