What a great recipe mummamills. So quick and easy to make and it tasted wonderful. I was unsure about the ketchup but it worked great, the flavor was excellent. We loved this dish. I used long grain rice and for vegetables I added sweet and hot red chilies, sweet onion, frozen peas and garnished with green onions. Into my keeper box this goes, thanks so much for sharing.

I actually used this recipe, added an extra half a cup of water and put two eggs in it at about the 15 minute mark. I love it and will definately use it again.

How easy is this? And very good. I used long grain rice. I used the ketcup and took your advice and added garlic (1/2 teaspoon) and ginger (1/8 teaspoon). 20 minutes was too long for me and I will shorten it next time and will also add more soy sauce or add sesame oil. The edges of the rice were hard. I didn't want to stir in between because I thought you were not suppose to interrupt rice while cooking. Will definitely try again. Very easy. Thank you much!

No stars -- I think it must be my microwave, and I am VERY disappointed !! All these lovely reviews and suggestions -- some of which I followed. Used Basmati rice; 1/2 chicken broth, 1/2 water; 1 cup Asian stirfry as jewelies suggested. Nuked 10 min, then stirred, as atlfitgirl suggested. Unfortunately, had some hard clumps and the remainder of the rice was "crunchy". So sorry -- hope to try again after DH recovers from my effort. I still have hope !

I really like this recipe. I needed to make a few changes because of the high power of my microwave. First off, I did not add bacon, since I like mine crispy and knew it would not happen in the microwave. After 15 minutes of cooking I stirred the rice and had to add more water, another 1/2 cup. Rice was still tough at this point, so cooked another 10 minutes. (I should have checked rice and add more water at the half way point on this last 10 minutes.) After letting it stand the 5 minutes, I took off the lid and found the corners a little on the dry side. So my suggestions are, to stir every 5 minutes and keep an eye on the moisture level of your rice, until you know how your microwave is going to cook this. I will add 1/2 teaspoon fresh ginger, grated the next time I make this. Made for Recipe Swap #62 Australian/New Zealand Cooking game

5 stars plus for ease and versatility. I have strict doctors orders just now for REST due to slipped disc so this type of meal is a winner. I used a combination of fresh and frozen vegies including a couple of home grown tomatoes and chilli sauce instead of the tomato ketchup - I had a fabulous and tasty meal so many thanks for posting !!

I used 1/2 cup of celery and 1/2 cup of red bell pepper. The taste is really good. But the rice was a bit crispy. So next time I'll add more water. Thanks mummamills :) Made for I recommend tag game

To me, this doesn't taste anything like real fried rice, but that doesn't mean it's not a tasty side dish all on its own. I made a half-recipe and added thinly sliced celery and diced red bell pepper. At high altitude, I had to add at least 50% more water and increase the cooking time by 5 minutes. Honestly, it would have been quicker for me to make this on the stove, and maybe I will next time. Because there WILL be a next time. :-) Thanks for sharing!

Oh so easy!! This dish inspired me to write my first review as my 4 yr old and 2 yr old inhaled it, and the 4 yr old asked if I could make it again the next night..... which of course I did! Hubby also enjoyed, so this is a keeper in our house as a quick and easy way to jazz up plain rice.

Simple and delicious. Not for meals requiring authenticity (like theme dinners or for company.) Absolutely perfect for lunch when the family is running around and everyone can grab a bowl when ready. Very satisfying. Will make again. Thank you.

I do love my convection microwave, and am always happy to add to its repertoire, this is a marvellous and effort-free way to put together delicious fried rice! Very versatile, I was serving this with Peking Style Chicken, and so omitted the bacon, but I would add it if having it alone or with a veggie dish. i added frozen peas and corn, and I made twice the amount because I knew how popular this was going to be, and I was right! Thanks for a marvellous recipe, made for Aussie/NZ 12 Days of Christmas Recipe Swap.

Made this for one of the neighbors for whom I sometimes cook, & they were so pleased! I doubled the amount of veggies (peas, corn, carrots, celery) called for & used Jasmine rice! Very simple & TASTY ~ & next time I make this for myself! [Tagged, made & reviewed as a kidnapped recipe in the Aus/NZ Recipe Swap #20]

So easy and so very tasty. The simplicity of this recipe would earn it five stars on its own, lol. After a very bad day at work, this was such a great treat to throw together. I used a combination of fresh snow peas, broccoli, carrots, and scallions for the veggies and used 3 slices of bacon and so didn't add the tablespoon of oil. DH enjoyed it very much too. I will for sure be making this again!!!

This was surprisingly easy and good. I only cooked about 13 minutes on my microwave cuz it's really powerful. Next time I'll change up the vegies and sauces. Thanks!

This rice dish is totally different from any of the fried rices I have eaten growing up in a Thai family. All the fried rice recipes I love have lots of garlic, veggies, and soy sauce in them...and no tomato sauce or bacon. I really wanted to try it since it has gotten so many good reviews and I wanted to try microwaving rice. I used Jasmine rice, frozen corn, green onions, and shredded carrots and only 1 small onion. I used tomato paste rather than sauce since I had some already opened. I combined all the ingredients and covered and cooked for 10 minutes and then stirred. I am glad I did, since some of the rice on the sides seemed a little dry. Then I cooked for another 10 and let rest for 5. When I lifted the lid, a really delicious smell filled the kitchen. This rice is not your typical fried rice, but the texture is remarkably like it, even though it is not stir fried. My BF and I liked it as a rice side dish, but it was a little on the sweet side for me ( from the tomato paste maybe?). I spritzed a little lime juice over the top and it really livened up the flavor for me. Its taste was reminiscent of a Mexican rice dish. It was good overall, but when I feel like fried rice, I think I will stick with one of my recipes. This dish was great however, considering the ease in prep and cooking! Thanks for sharing!!!

I just had this for lunch today and I made it for lunch yesterday. It was amazing. I halved the recipe and it could be a very large meal for one or a side dish with leftovers. I must say I did muck around with it a bit but it turned out great. I used katsup instead of tomato sauce ,took out the bacon (I am a vegetarian), added 1/2 tablespoon extra soy sauce, I didn't have an onion so I left that out, added 1 1/2 teaspoons crushed red pepper for a little spice and added 1/2 cup extra veggies. I microwaved for about 7 minutes then gave it a stir because the rice was starting to burn on the edges, then I added the veggies added 1/4 of a cup of water and cooked for another 3 minutes. I used frozen peas, fresh broccoli, fresh carrots and bean sprouts (I added the bean sprouts at the end 'cause I like them cold for some reason) It was perfect, so easy and it tastes so great. I can't wait to make it again!

I wouldn't believe it unless I had made it. Next time I will up the soy by another tablespoon. Other than that in the last 4 minutes I added some chopped up prawn and beanshoots and stirred. I have a 900w oven and the 20 minutes was right for it.

Good idea! I used Jasmine rice and subbed ketchup for the tomato sauce. I wasn't thrilled with the way the veggies cooked to death in the rice. I used a frozen oriental blend of veggies. What I did like was the texture of the rice. Next time I'll cook and mix the veggies in before serving at the table.
