Review: There is nothing better than fried rice to me, so this of course was awesome. I loved that it used chicken broth, which really cut down on the amount of soy sauce needed. Great, easy recipe, and the broccoli helped add some green! Could have also used carrots, peas, etc. - but I just used the veggie I had on hand. Great, easy recipe, ready in under 20 minutes (assuming you already had rice in the fridge of course - important to note that! We always have a tub of cold rice in the fridge - you're not surprised, right?:) ))
