I had some left over brown rice and I didn't want to just toss it out. So I scoured my fridge and I realized I had the ingredients to make some Pork Fried Rice. I broiled a pork chop and added BBQ Sauce to it. While the pork was broiling I cooked the rice in a wok added a whisked egg, some soy sauce, sesame sauce, chopped carrots and peas. I then diced up the pork after it had cooked and threw it in the wok. This is my second attempt and I still cannot get the taste or the texture to be like of take out Fried Rice, but it was still pretty tasty. Anyone know how to make the rice taste and texture like it does in a Chinese take out place or restaurant?

I've had the same problem when we tried to make fried rice. It tastes fine, but it comes out kind of mushy. Must be an ancient Chinese secret ;-).

Maybe the heat is too low?

I think that Tyler Florence on the Food TV Network made fried rice once and explained how to do it so that it tastes just like takeout. I love fried rice!!!

I'm drooling again. I LOVE rice and think I can eat it everyday (and so I will never be able to do a low-carb diet). Hmm, I have some rice leftover from last night. Thanks for the idea!

That sounds wonderful! Mine never tastes quite like take-out either.
