[@FloLum]

Fried rice can be enjoyed so many ways and can be an inexpensive meal to feed your family. Eat well. Save money. Happy Sunday! 💕

[@debnn4854]

Thankyou so much . Really- just perfect .

[@SOMD-THC]

My son and I make fried rice all the time. Filling and cheap! Thanks for sharing. 💕✌🏽

I love fryed rice how come you don't u@e ginger?

How about Fried Rice Egg Rolls?

"Recipe calls for 8 pieces of bacon 🥓 but really, why stop at 8" love this!

[@joann1820]

Can never have too 🥓 😉😋

[@Jaydit7]

Whenever I cook rice I cook more than is needed for a specific recipe. I portion it in freezer bags for later, those nights when I don't really want to "cook" and have odds-and-ends in the fridge/freezer/pantry. Fried rice is a life saver for busy nights, especially before a Grocery Run....love you Flo&Dude, this channel has helped me so much to cook simple, tasty food...oy

[@deborahbrown6029]

Your reply answered my question, l was wondering if I could freeze rice thanks😀

[@craig4dana]

Uncle Roger would "put his leg off his chair" or flip his chopstick! Using white sugar is a "white people fail' as he says. You must use brown sugar.

[@jeanmader2302]

Great idea...I love Chinese food, and I crave it and seafood...ALWAYS. I could have it for breakfast. It is definitely my favorite, with a hot cup of wonderful JASMINE tea. The aroma is heavenly! No bacon! Just garlic, soy sauce and GINGER...Yum. I use my wok to saute veggies when making soups. It cuts cooking time. Lots of room, and quick.

[@jeanmader2302]

The freezer idea is great for rice. I have been craving rice pudding for a long time, but I usually cook what my husband likes;! I can usually find a light snack that I like, later. I also love Cajun rice with onions, sausage, and other veggies in it. Even crawdads!! They are good in pasta as well. My man goes for the very boring meat, and potatoes. I grew up on the east coast, so I got very lucky in being exposed to wonderful foods from different cultures. Yum

[@theresamcgaughey3358]

I just asked if can freeze it LoL thanks

[@patibarrera2874]

Looks delicious!!! I make a Sausage Fried Rice. Everyone loves it. I use Farmer breakfast sausage links broken up, garlic, onion, green onion, eggs, cabbage chopped into little squares and rice. I make a sauce with 2 tbsp soy, 2 tbsp oyster sauce, 4 drops of sesame oil and 1 tbsp water and mix well.

[@skinnner]

Greetings from Iceland! I am a retired prof. chef myself and noticed the way you use your left hand when chopping. Impressive! Love your videos and recipes!

[@lareneandpipsqueeksully]

Our mother made a fantastic fried rice. Raising five kids alone was not easy, but what a champion our mother was! Great recipes, thank you❣️

[@dragons8822]

What kind did she make ?

[@denisekeary8229]

SO happy to learn that the rice needs to be cooked ahead of time, not fresh!!!!! Heading to the kitchen right now to get it going and refrigerate overnight, for tomorrow. Thank youuuuu!

[@cedricross2991]

Being from Hawaii, fried rice is huge out here. Shrimp fried rice is my favorite!!! Extra garlic!!

[@kathleenmayhorne3183]

A friend of mine who was a commercial cook, but not a chef, taught me her s/yle of fried rice, she said to add chichen stock to the rice when cooking for flavour. Once her rice was cooked, she spread it out in a flat tray, and dried it in the oven, so she could use it fairly quickly. She also used the absorption method to get dry rice, with no clumps. Thank-you for the recipes, though onion causes migrains for me, so I have to tweak recipes. All the best.

[@bondee5865]

Thanks for the oven drying tip; chilled rice makes a healthier food (because of the starch content I hear) yet I don't always have time to chill rice.

[@sct4040]

Inexpensive meals are what we all need right now. ❤

[@davidyoung745]

I really enjoyed seeing several variations together in one video. I liked seeing what was similar and what you changed while using the same tools and basic principles.

[@telebubba5527]

Hi Flo, just found you today. I love the way you cook, very casual in a way that inspires others to try it out also. I definately will.

[@Rebecca-dm5ul]

OMG almost 17 years ago I tried a beef and chinese lettuce dish I loved. For over a year I went to this restaurant in Chicago's China Town. Unfortunately they closed. I've searched for this recipe which wasn't dark with soy sauce. Subscribed. Thank you. This was a favorite of my late son and I. Thank you

So happy to hear I can regrow my green onions from the roots. I will start some today when I cook one of your tasty rice meals. Green onions are expensive in Florida stores.

[@tovemagnussen4423]

Hi! This is almost the same way I am doing it! The new for me, was doing the eggs first. I do not have a wok, so the biggest frying pan is used. When my kids was in 2nd and 3rd grade (almost 30 yrs ago), they would INHALE my fried rice. Had to make up 2 pans for 2 adults and 2 kids... same ingredients as you, bacon and a mixed frozen vegetables (carrots, peas and corn). Going to do the eggs first from now on...😁 Thank you for sharing! ❤

[@131dyana]

Thank you I will fix the bacon supper this week. YOU ARE A GOOD TEACHER.

[@myrddenbebopper3674]

I can't count the number of times I have watched you start a recipe in the wok by mostly-cooking 3 or 4 eggs. Always the same drill; always the same non-stick event. Brava, Flo!

[@FloLum]

Practice makes perfect! 😉

[@usernamemykel]

@@FloLum Actually, it's "Perfect practice makes perfect" Vince Lombardi quote. You still get a hug.

[@Garethstruelove]

Do you want to hear cheap and easy? You take leftover fried rice. Fry a little bit of bacon, normally I use crumbles. I then throw the rice into the pan, add three or four beaten eggs, move them around, so that they are cooked within the rice. Move that all around stir it make sure everything is blended. Then I add a little bit more so sauce and chopped green onions. There you have it rice, bacon, eggs, Soy sauce and green onions. I use this when I don’t have any chicken or other protein. Cheap and delicious.

[@pazbea610]

I love to see you cook. To me, it's a complete n delicious meal. Thank you.

[@69bobr]

You can buy that shrimp/fish paste in glass jars at Asian grocery stores (NOT in the Indian stores). The Filipinos call it "bagong", smelly and delish (as is durian), stays in the fridge for years. My wife can't stand it. More for me! I noticed that you didn't use any chopped, fresh ginger while cooking fried rice. I think it gives it a little zing. The Thais add diced cucumber at the end (like you did with the iceberg lettuce). It gives it a light, fresh aroma. They ALSO sprinkle some sugar on their fried rice before starting to eat. You'll find containers of white sugar on the tables at small eateries in Bangkok, where you'll see the locals sprinkling some on their fried rice. Not a bad idea, especially if you add the dynamite little green chillies in vinegar that are also on the tables. I score HUGE points with wifey when I make fried rice for breakfast. Whether it's with spam or even chopped up hotdogs! Of course I add some veges for color, substance and keeping it healthy. Cabbage, carrots, peas, bell peppers, broccoli, whatever is in the fridge and needs to be used very soon, before it goes bad. Less meat, more veges - we're both happy while we have our third helping. Fried rice never acquires "leftovers" status in our house. Every grain is precious (like in the movie Empire of The Sun). Thanks for sharing your method and recipes. It's 5:30 AM, stayed up, stomach is growling and I need to eat!! Might as well skip sleep and make her breakfast before she goes to work. Right? I confess, I LOVE cooking. Thank you, Mom! 🙏🕉🙏

[@janettemasiello5560]

Thanks these are great recipes without a lot of the expense. I could live on this forever !

[@lindagomez3114]

I use cut cooked hotdogs and onion with eggs for a breakfast meal so yummy!

[@sandrahenson1843]

My mother used to do that. She cut the hotdogs into bite size pieces, cooked the onion, then added beaten eggs and scrambled. We loved it.

[@evancook4318]

Made the Malaysian variety a couple months ago! Making it again tonight!! So so SO good! My local Asian markets only had shrimp paste in a jar, so I just used more since it wasn’t dehydrated like the belachan. 🤤 Thank you so much!!!

[@carmelinemarcus2102]

Hi🙂 Such an awesome way of using left over rice and other left overs in the fridge. I have not used oyster sauce or shrimp past in my fried rice. This time I'll try using. It looks and taste aromatic. Thanks for sharing your delicious recipes. Have a nice day🙂

[@lauralutz4538]

I never thought of using chopped beef for fried rice, what a great idea! No tenderizing, I’m going to make it this week! Thanks!😀

[@dianeetcheverry2747]

What an outstanding teacher you are.I can’t wait to try some fried rice my way.

[@donnagambrell1412]

Wow, I'm hungry now!! This is a must-try recipe! Thank you!! 🥢🥢

[@annn8389]

Flo, Sunday is not completed without your nee video! Thank you!

[@chocolateice4u]

For healthy fried rice when using pork bacon...grease must be drained. Also, Olive Oil is preferable the best oil to use when cooking. I use Uncle's Ben Cilantro rice in a package or any of their rice to make Shrimp fried rice. Just a suggestion.

[@10actual]

Great voice (I am hard of hearing), good instructions well explained and great sense of humor!! Fried rice has been one of my favorite dishes for many decades and these look super!! Thanks for sharing!

[@DCB938]

I’ve always loved fried rice. My ex (Japanese/Hawaiian) taught me how to cook it and then I learned how to outdo him. Lol I fix it almost like you do. The only difference is that I use butter, I prefer the butter flavor over any oils.

[@annn8389]

Flo and Dude, I hear you on the price of food. When the price of food at Asian markets goes through the roof, ( price is usually much lower than Western markets) you know we are in for a rough ride! We normally don't eat out very often as we want to know what we put in my food and we also want to control the quality of the ingredients.

[@deborahhenderson149]

Hi I just discovered your channel. You have a lovely calm manner. I have been making lots of different fried rice for many years. I used to love a chinese cook called Ken Hom and in the 1980's i read his book like a bible. I learned so much from him. As time went on and I learned recipes from other cultures, I found I preferred the taste of Basmati rice that Indian recipes use. So that is the rice I use in my egg fried rice dishes instead of long grain rice. I was pleased that you introduced me to other ingredients that are suitable like the minced beef so will try that. Thank you so much to you and your other half. XxDeb in Newcastle, England

[@trishakapoorjuly]

Last night I made fried rice without any meat! It was really really really good! This was my first time making fried rice. I have always been afraid of making fried rice I don't know why! Thank you so much for this simple recipe. I am your new fan-subcriber! 🎉😊

[@lindaberg9960]

Hello Flo & Dude, Happy to find your channel tonight. I love fried rice also!! Excited to make your recipes! You're both excellent at this! Look forward to binge watching and learning more!! I agree, Simple is good! Blessings to you both💞

Hi Flo! My fave is the garlic shrimp fried rice. It’s my go-to recipe. I use the same recipe except I would use chicken or pork and add some peas, carrots and corn when I’m feeling adventurous. It never fails. My friends think I’m a fried rice master chef. Learned so much from you and Gordon Ramsey. But you’re my go-to for Asian dishes. 😅 Love your channel!

[@betsygodwin8938]

I have watched this video so many times now because I made the HK style beef fried rice two times for my family now and we absolutely love it. It’s so easy to make and I just love how it tastes. That crunch from the lettuce is awesome! Thank you for introducing me to this new way of cooking, and this awesome dish!

[@foodieforlife8263]

Great idea to make beef mince fried rice, will try it tomorrow for lunch. A small suggestion…. Mix your soya sauce and, oyster sauce in advance. It’s easy to mix into the rice.

[@janbenuche7804]

I can't stand the smell of oyster sauce, or the sight of them either.😂😂😂

[@monermccarthy7198]

This is fantastic, I never thought to do a bacon and egg fried rice. I will do that next.

This might sound strange, but if you have some pineapple in the fridge you can add it too fried rice in small amounts to get a real nice background flavor too a recipe. I don't use a lot, just 3 or 4 pieces diced real small.

Sorry. // Interesting, I never cut the bacon and then cook it in my Wok, shall try this. // Yes, I CAN smell it, yum. // Just checked, I think I can afford the Kindle version of your new cookbook. // Iceberg Lettuce? hmm, not Bok Choy or something fancy?

Try asparagus spears (when in season) or Chinese gai lan (look for the smaller stems. Blanch until use tender with a bit of sugar and garlic clove. Then add it to the fried rice)

[@leilareggie1826]

Heat your peas and put them on the side for yourself. Good to eat the foods your own body likes.

I like to keep cooked bacon in the fridge and freezer in a zip lock baggy to put on salad or baked potatoes or on a avocado sandwich because I hate cooking bacon. I try to fry up a lot. Or you can buy it in a bag cooked already. Anyway I agree the more bacon the better. Lol I never knew you could put bacon in fried rice. I wish they would sell Chinese bbq pork to add to dishes , rice, wonton soup etc.

[@elainesfuntime3910]

Put bacon on a rack over a tray and bake it at 350 till done. Can do multiple trays at once. Typical for many restaurants to have it available throughout the day.

Fry the belacan with a little oil so it will break up. Also, I microwave the rice for 2 mins, covered, so the lump of rice is loosened and takes less time to fry.

[@anchored555]

Other than convenience, there’s another very good reason to cook extra rice and chill it overnight in the fridge to cook and eat later. Chilling/freezing cooked rice for at least 24 hours apparently reduces its glycemic index.
