Easy, quick and tasty!
Rated: 4 stars out of 5

This recipe is a good opportunity to use up leftover brown rice from Alton Brown's Baked Brown Rice recipe. I used raw shrimp... and threw it in with the scallions and ginger. I added minced garlic to the scallions and ginger. I also used half a bag of frozen peas and carrots which I defrosted under cold running water for a few minutes. When I make fried rice I always push the rice mixture to one side of the pan before I add the eggs. I scramble the eggs completely in the pan before I mix them with the vegetable and shrimp mixture. Since I tend to combine elements of other recipes together, I added about a tablespoon of hoisin sauce(which I took from Tyler's recipe for fried rice with peas and carrots) after I added the broth mixture. I liked the extra spicy sweet element that the hoisin added. The resulting dish was colorful, the carrots added an bit of color and extra crunch to the dish. A great quick, light and tasty meal.Read more

awesome fried rice
Rated: 4 stars out of 5

Made this recipe but used a little less shrimp and substituted brown rice for white. The whole grain rice made a more... substantial dish, and I felt healthier eating it! Minced ginger instead of the usual grated gave the rice a spicy fragrance that my husband, who's a notoriously picky Chinese food eater, raved about. Would definitely make this recipe again.Read more

Absolutely delicious
Rated: 5 stars out of 5

This recipe was easy. For the first time I actually got the spices and flavoring right. I substituted the wine with cooking... wine as I don't drink alcohol so I don't keep it in the house and it was still just fantastic!Read more

Lacking Flavor
Rated: 3 stars out of 5

This recipe lacked flavor and needs to be spiced up.
