    I just wanted to say, this came out an hour before I needed to make dinner, and we where in a bit of a pinch. We had some left over cooked rice, a tiny piece of Christmas ham, a few stray carrots, onion, garlic, 1 egg and one package of ramen chicken seasoning and a tiny bit of frozen peas. Your recipe came at the PERFECT time and I cooked everything up following how you showed here, and let me say, it was the best dang fried rice I have EVER had. It was better then what we get at our local restaurant. In fact it was so well received in the house hold that I am making it again tonight, right now

    When my girls were young, at least once a week I used Ramen noodles or rice and added leftover bits of meats and vegetables from dinners! I had one container in the fridge for all miscellaneous vegetables that weren't enough for another meal, so it would have maybe 1/2 cup of broccoli, handful peas etc. Then another container for protein which might have 1/2 pork chop, a hot dog, bit steak etc. This was always the kids favorite lunch! Happy New Year All! May 2021 be more peaceful and healthy!

    Emmy, I need you to know that your videos are some of the few that consistently make me feel like things are or will be okay. Whether personal strife or the horrors we're facing as a country and a globe, your videos are so genuine and it feels like we're old friends, sitting in your kitchen as you share recipes and anecdotes. I just needed you to know that you are appreciated, and one day when things are better than normal, I'd love to take you and your family out to dinner here in Philadelphia for some greasy, deliciously unhealthy but gloriously authentic cheesesteaks.

    When I was a kid, before school, one of the meals my mom would cook up was a really quick fried rice, with eggs, onions and garlic. I loved it so much that I'd request it sometimes. My version, I do add spam, shrimp, eggs, green onions, onions, garlic, and add in about a quarter bag of frozen veggies containing carrots, peas and corn. Instead of salt like my mom's, I use oyster sauce. I'll need to try yours... it does look so yummy!

    I learned a great trick with the green onions/scallions.... lop off the base and put them upright in some water, and they grow new stems you can use. I stuff paper towels into a short glass and put the onion bases between the glass and paper and add water. Those rooty scraps will make you fresh onions. Romain lettuce too! I'm now trying it with a bok choy base.

    Thank you so much for the idea of chopping up your green onions when you first get them. Every single time I have bought them they end up going bad on me because I don't use them fast enough. And your idea about chopping them up and put them in a container is the perfect answer for me. I made my first veggie fried rice today and it turned out really good I didn't have green onion but I certainly will the next time thank you so much for the video

    A tip for parents of toddlers.
    My mom made me a lot of scrambled egg with lots of veggies, cheese and ham in it.
    Whips up super fast either in a small pot or even in a bowl in the microwave.
    Just a egg, a slice of cheese (preferably not American but normal cheese, but u do u), a few slices of ham/pieces of hotdogs, some frozen peas, carrots, corn etc.
    Done in like 2 minutes.
    Fast, easy, delicious and pretty nutritious
    Works well with toast for kids that aren’t toddlers anymore.

    When you make the version with soy sauce, do you add any other seasonings? My Japanese grandfather taught me to make fried rice when I was a kid. He'd use leftover rice, shoyu, a bit of fish sauce, eggs, ham, peas & carrots, a small drizzle of sesame oil and top it off (in the bowl) with a few good shakes of furikake.

    I make this weird fried rice that my mom’s Okinawan friend taught her to make in the 70s. It is leftover rice, a can of corned beef chopped up and sautéd with onion, ginger and some garlic. Once it is all mixed you add a mixture of ketchup, Worcestershire sauce and a little soy sauce and stir it into the rice mix, top each portion with a fried egg. When I make it I use some mixed veggies in it, and use a brown rice and quinoa blend instead of regular rice. It was one of my comfort foods when I was a child. That and yakisoba were two recipes Chieko taught my mom and they were my two favorites as a child.
