Great recipe, very popular with the family. I added some cooked pork I had in the fridge and a splash of sherry, came out brilliantly.

Had this as a quick mid week tea, although a little bland, I will make again and add ginger, extra garlic and extra chillies, maybe red peppers. Very easy, just needs spicing up a little

I thought this was lovely as a basic rice dish and considering I had little time and ingredients to cobble together a quick meal. Next time will make it along with some other dishes as suggested by others. Will definitely make again!

My hubby and I love this dish, quick, cheap, nutritious and very tasty. This time around we had no peas so added chopped up red pepper instead. Mmmmmmmmmmm, leaves you feeling full if you are watching your weight.

A good quick supper, I added some ginger and broccoli. I also cooked my rice off first and refreshed it after reading the other comments and added the peas and broc before cooking the eggs. Would do again if stuck.

The easiest and best tasting fried rice i've ever made, loads better than take away. Used garlic and ginger paste and fried that with the chilli, added sweetcorn with the peas and a chopped yellow pepper. Definitely be making again :)
