I have made this recipe several times and tweaked it each time. We have done chicken instead of shrimp (when I was out of shrimp once). After the first time, I cut the ginger in half and added 2 cloves of garlic instead. I also added carrots shreds.08/12/09

I love how much lighter this recipe was than traditional fried rice you'd order at a restaurant. The lack of greasiness made it flavorful and enjoyable, and the sauce was the perfect blend of soy sauce, sesame oil, and rice vinegar. I cut large shrimp in half and it worked great. Everyone loved it, will definitely be making again!04/05/09
