Fried rice is a great alternative to plain rice dish. It needs to be cold cooked rice before adding these ingredient. My first attempt, went like this: Cook the rice. What? It has to be cold! Put the pot of cooked rice into the freezer for a while. Then continue as "directed", which I did not read beforehand. It turned out ok, so if you "forget", try the freezer method!-Mike
