Fried Rice

This is not fried rice and its not even close to what it should be like. With all the good reviews i thought i would come and make this but it turned out tasting horrible. No taste and No fried rice about it. If you think this is better then Take away you all must be buying from horrible shops. What a shame fried rice should be fried at the end not socked in a slow cooker. if i could leave no stars i would.

The family wasn’t fussed on this recipe. I normally do fried rice a different way. The rice stuck to the edges so HIGH was too hot, the rice also wasn’t cooked enough so I had to add more liquid at the end, but that made it a bit gluggy, and no one even wanted to try it. My husband won’t eat it again and I don’t think my kids will either.

Wow.. so easy and a great dish either as a side or as a main IMO, would go with most meats etc… Cooked this today again for maybe the 8th time or so as Everyone loves it, and best of all being able to alter the flavour making everyone happy..

We love this. Definitely a staple in our house come out perfect every time and not gluggy
I change the peanut oil for olive oil as daughter has peanut allergy

How easy was this to make! But sceptical regarding rice in the slow cooker but it was fantastic. Family loved it.

Better than Chinese Take Away, by far the best I have ever had. I added raw prawns at the last 30 minutes. Give it a go you won’t be disappointed

Absolutely amazing!! I was very hesitant to cook fried rice in the slow cooker but it came out perfectly – and approved by the whole family. Added a little Hoisin sauce as well to give it a touch more flavour. Will be a regular on my cooking rotation. Makes so much there is enough for left overs the next day too!

Thank you, it turned out great, I should have done it earlier. I spread it out on a tray once cooked to cool quicker.

Made this for the first time last night and it turned out great

I have been wanting to make this for months but worried it wouldn’t turn out like my usual fried rice in a wok. It was beautiful!😍 The only thing I did different was added 1tbsp hoisin sauce , I used chopped cashews and also fried the bacon n onion in a little bit of sesame oil. It was fluffy, tasted almost like a special fried rice from a restaurant. Oh, I also added some prawns and a drained tin of bean sprouts 👍👍👍👍💖 It made a tonne! would be great for feeding large groups.

Easy go to recipe. Love it very versatile.

This is such a great recipe – could eat this on it’s own and so easy to do.

Turned out very gluggy

Made this today and loved it! I always seem to end up with gluggy fried rice but not this time! Id personally add more soy sauce but thats just personal preference! So easy to make! Mine was done in an hour!

First time SC fried rice and it was amazing, followed the recipe to the letter and it was delicious 😋 even hubby loved it. Thank you Juanita.

Soo good! I added chicken fried in sesame oil and prawns! Before serving I stirred through a mixture of oyster sauce, soy sauce and seasme oil!! Absolutely lovely!

Made this tonight and it was a hit! The picky toddler ate some and the teen took some with her to work to eat on her break. Hubby said he would order it again haha. I used leftover roast lamb instead of bacon and it worked a treat!

Followed the recipe and the result is perfect. Fluffy fried rice. Definitely doing this again!

This was nice & easy & good for a change. Lots of wriggle room here to use up vegetables &/ or leftover meat/ chicken. The eggs makes this more satisfying and the almond addition is great!
Hubby liked it too & there’s a good deal left over.

Oh my, oh my! I can honestly say I had serious doubts about this recipe! Then I finally decided to try it, doubts disappeared the moment I took the lid off when it was cooked! One of the best fried rices I’ve ever had & so much you could do with it. A huge WINNER in our house! We love it ❤️

This is a hit in our home, so easy to make. I use up any left over veg, or that’s about to expire and experiment. We use vegeta instead of chicken or beef stock. Since there is only 2 of us and a baby atm I make the whole recipe and freeze in portions suitable for a side to make meal times even easier.

Better than Chinese Take Away. By far the best I have ever had. Give it a go you won’t be disappointed

I had my doubts about how good this could possibly be- seriously- fried rice in a slow cooker? Well- that will show me! This recipe is hands down, mouth wateringly FANTASTIC. Everyone wants seconds, it is on high rotation in our house and is the best damn fried rice I have ever tasted. If you are sitting on the fence – get off it and get this cooking. You won’t regret it.

I made this dish and it was absolutely delicious!!! I added shredded cooked chicken breast to mine to make it a main meal and it was a massive hit. I used 4 cups of stock instead of 3 cups, substituted the fish sauce for half a tablespoon of Worcestershire sauce and I added a tablespoon of Hoi Sin sauce.

Will definit be making this again!!

Had both 16 year old take over the kitchen and prep this one last night. There are 8 of us so they doubled the recipe. Was so easy for them to do. A huge hit. Lots came back for seconds and it was all gone by the end of the night.
Great recipe.

I have looked at this recipe soooo many times and thought Yeah,nah…bit the bullet today and just did it. Followed almost exactly,I just left out the nuts,personal preference only.

I finally tried this and I’m kicking myself for not trying it sooner!! Thanks Jennifer!

Wow wow wow, what a fabulous recipe, it was absolutely delicious. It’s hard to cook for my fussy child who’s on the autism spectrum and the look on his face was priceless, he rated it a 20/10 , it was a huge hit with him and he wants me to make it again and again! Yum

Simply a winner! Make it regurlaly in particular for Miss 18 who loves it!

I made this a couple of weeks ago, it was a hit. I’ll be making it this way again. 😋
Very tasty!

I did this with brown rice it took between 4-5 hours and 4cups of stock but it was well worth the wait ,

This is a staple in our house, I add some chicken to mine and my husband says it’s better than a takeaway!

Tried this fried rice today ,it was very tasty + I added chilli flakes . I will definately be making it this way again

Made this today. I used brown rice as didn’t have white rice 1 of my daughters loved it..so if anyone has thought about using brown rice I recommend it. Dinner tonight is sorted with curried sausages.

Most awesome dish…Huge favourite at home and work

👍 Such a great go to recipe… third time making it tweaked slightly added 1 cup extra stock & also changed frozen to fresh chopped vegie pre packed from supermarket… winning!! 👏💯

I’ve made this & loved it! I add some extra chicken & Vegas so it bulks out a bit.

Absolutely beautiful!! Doubled everything and it was perfect!

I live in a small country town in SA, so not really any takeaway options except the pub, made this rice tonight to go with the Mongolian beef and WOW, its amazing, I don’t eat fish at all so no fish sauce but I put in sweet chilli instead, it was so delicious. Thanks Pauline and co

Amazing,. New go to dish so easy so yum

Fried rice craving SOLVED 😋😋 I modified recipe slightly as didn’t have peanut oil so used sesame oil 2TBSP & olive oil 2TBSP and mixed veggies
(- capsicum) end result = delish Miss 17 loved it thank you for the fab recipe 👌👍

This is next level amazing!
I also added a splash of Maggie seasoning sauce to this. My toddler had two full bowls! Absolutely delicious.

This recipe is awesome! I only put a little bit of onion and Garlic because I don’t like it and used sesame oil instead of peanut oil, also added roast chicken and Brocoli. Loved it! And was plenty for dinner, heaps left for lunch tomorrow for hubby. Will definitely cook it again

Made for first time last week and will def be a regular! Makes a lot and very nice!

I was a bit doubtful of doing this, but I a so glad I did. So yummo & now my new way to make fried rice. I added some cooked chicken to ours.

Full of flavour and makes a large quantity! 👌

Very nice, but I added extra soy and fish sauce, as it did taste a bit bland without it, didn’t add nuts either. I only did it for 1hr and it was nice and fluffy.

Love this fried rice. I add an extra tablespoon of soy sauce and put fried chicken in it as well. So tasty and so easy to make. Just make sure you put the tea towel under the lid. I use basmati rice.

I have made this twice and both times it came out more like risotto than fried rice. Not sure what I did wrong

Cooked this last night… absolutely delicious… added prawns as well and was just nice. The flavors were amazing.

I’m keen to make this but i don’t understand how to add the egg. Do you whisk it up and put it in the pan with the frozen vegetables prior to adding it to the stock? Sorry – very new to this SC stuff!

This was absolutely delicious and so full of flavour. I don’t think I will make friend rice the traditional way again. I used a Sunbeam 5.5l which runs a little hot, rice was ready in just over 1 hour.

I made this for the first time today.
Super easy and really just like our local takeaway.

Absolutely delicious meal, will never cook fried rice any other way. My two children 3 and 8 (fussy eaters) both came back for more!

Followed the recipe to a tee and this was not good at all. The rice was rock hard and the dish was just a globby mess. Sorry pass

Amazing recipe, I was very trepadasious as it didn’t compute in my brain how this could possibly work but I followed the recipe to the letter, just used carrots, peas and corn. It s smelled amazing and everyone loved It. Will be making again

Made this yesterday. Followed the instructions. Used beef stock and added a touch not beacon then it said.
Was yummy but not like take away fried rice at all, not even slightly. I ended up adding a little extra soy sauce to my plate as it was pretty bland too.
Also I only cooked for an hour as it was ready and I left it for maybe 20 minutes after that with lid and power off to cool down and pack away and it had turned into mush.
I would make this again but now know it’s just a very basic fried rice and I wouldn’t consider it anything special.

Amazing. I have never cooked fried rice mainly because I thought I could never get the right taste like the take -away shops. How wrong was I. I have wanted to make this for awhile. Plucked up the courage and OMG its amazing. Going to be making this more often. A quick and easy meal. The only thing I changed was 1cup of Chicken stock and 1 cup of Beef stock. Took the tea towel off for the last half hour of cooking so it wasn’t too dry.

Doubled this recipe and added extra stock.
Didn’t have fish sauce to added Worcestershire sauce instead. Tasted great!

Best fried rice ever. I have tried many fried rice recipes but they never came close to take away fried rice. This is spot on. Love that I don’t have to pre cook rice. I follow the recipe but I add a bit more bacon because we LOVE bacon. Sometimes I don’t add the almonds just because. Give it a try you will not be disappointed.

Very Important Message. Just adding to my previous review back in June/July 2019 – YES STILL LOVE IT. My first attempt was spot on perfect, but for some reason on my second attempt I stirred the mixture every half hour. WHAT A MISTAKE. So just making a note to help others if they are silly like me. DO NOT STIR THE MIXTURE EVER OR AT LEAST UNTIL 1.5 HOURS. As on my 3rd attempt it was perfect like my first attempt. Yum

Best slow cooker fried rice ever. I add one extra cup of stock and stir in cooked prawns at the end. My fussy kids love it. So easy!

Just a further note, I didn’t add the almonds.

Omg this is so yummy. I doubled the recipe and used beef stock. I also added 500 grams of cooked chicken. Will definitely be making this again.

Fantastic recipe. After reading the reviews, I added 3 cups of chicken stock instead of 2 & left the almonds out. I made this to go with the sticky honey chicken my son made from this site. Will definitely make again.

Easy as and worked perfectly. Added 3 cups of stock as suggested in comments. Only needed 1 hr as I was using my big SC and it cooked fast.
Oh and I’ll add more egg after it’s cooked next time, I LOVE excess egg in my rice. Great recipe.

UMMM WOW! Why have I only just found out about this (thanks to the facebook shares that’s how). Thank you. This was super amazing. Fried Rice in the slow cooker – really!? YES! Not gluggy, not sticky. Cooked to perfection. Only modification I did was as suggested – 3 cups of stock instead of 2. Mine actually was cooked in the 1.5 hrs. I would do a few other modifications for flavour (like less oil, more soy and maybe chinese five spice) but this recipe is the perfect base for fried rice in the slow cooker that actually works and is worth trying people. Loved it. And like others said re-heated great by the microwave.

This is my favourite fried rice dish. As Ive become more confident with it, I omit the fish sauce, add Chinese 5spice etc. I don’t add bacon but have added chicken. I find its a great one to begin with and is easily adapted to individual taste.

I made this yesterday and it was my first time use of slowcooker. Turned out pretty good and was delicious

Made this this morning for tea Omg so easy did use 3 cups of stock and no nuts and cooked for 1 and 1/2 hours.

Hi, sounds great. But two questions:
Does it fit in the 3,5 l Slowcooker?
Which sort of rice do you use?
Greetings ftom Germany 🙂

Feeling a little underwhelmed. Followed the recipe, took into account all suggestions but still ended up something pretty average. I did love the addition of the almonds though.

This was a big hit in my household. Have been asked to make this a gain. Very delicious.

Yum yum ! 1st attempt and was a hit.
Used fresh veggies, 3 cups of stock and a tiny bit of sesame oil with worcester sauce, delicious.
Will make again 😋

Made this last night and it was the best fried rice i have ever made..my partner raved about it all night !! a definite keeper!!

So easy!! Will do it tonight 😋

Fried rice was so easy to make taste so good didn’t have fish sauce so put extra soy sauce and put some prawn in with it yummy. Next time I will only put it on for hour as my slow cooker cooked it abite faster and some of the fried rice stack to the bottom. Thanks for the recipe will be cooking it again.

Lovely, easy fried rice. Will be a keeper….

It does make rather a lot for 2, so next time I will halve it and see how I go. We won’t mind eating fried rice for the next few days 🙂

Family and I really enjoyed this recipe. Only change was I added 3 cups of stock and cooked for 2 hours on high. A definite winner.

Yum yum yum! So easy – I did use 3 cups of stock and stirred it half way through so the rice cooked evenly and it worked a treat! Best fried rice I’ve ever made 😊

I enjoyed the flavour of this recipe. As others have said, exactly like Chinese take-away! I added 3 cups of stock, an extra tablespoon of soy sauce (personal preference)and a teaspoon of sesame oil. I found that after 1.5 hours my rice was still firm and not all liquid had been absorbed. Another 20 mins and it was edible but still could have done with a little longer I think. This was in a 4.5 Litre cooker.

made this last night was a bit dry lol so next time will add more stock. I didn’t add almonds but did add chicken to make it a meal was a hit with my very fussy 11 yr old daughter who said she didn’t want it just wanted to try a little and ended up having a big bowl Haha

5 stars. Simple but taste fantastic.

Love this recipe. Made it as per Pauline’s review. Last time added Chicken and made it a main meal. Will never make Fried Rice any other way. Always recommend this recipe to my friends. Great recipe Juanita !!!

Loved this recipe, so easy!! I’d recommend stirring once halfway through x

Yum yum yum!
I made it as per Paulines review and was so good!

Made the Fried Rice everyone talks about and was pleasantly surprised how good it turned out 🙂

Changes I made:
-200g chopped ham (in lieu of bacon)
-2 cups veg

I did forget to add an extra cup of stock – some of the rice was a bit firm at the 1.5 hour mark so added 1/2 cup water. Next time I’ll add 3 cups of stock as recommended!
I might also add more soy sauce next time as I like a bit more prominent flavour.

My family loved this. I cooked mine as per Paulene’s adjustments in comments above and left out the almonds. It was the first time I used my 5L slow cooker from Kmart ($20) & I found that the rice was done in 40 mins on High. I stirred through a tin of pineapple pieces before serving.

This was the best fried rice i have ever made ..loved that I di dnt have to stand by like I normally would while making fried rice ..just do the first few steps then go outside play with kids or whatever come back in to perfectly cooked fried rice ..Will be doing it this way from now on

The only way to make it

I made this recipe for the first time around 2 or so years ago. It’s delicious! I don’t do fried rice any other way now, and even my VERY fussy toddler loves it too. Always a winner in my household! Best fried rice recipe ever.

Yum! I added an extra cup
Of chicken stock and some sesame seed oil! As per comments !!! It’s a hit and hubby taking it to work too!

I doubled thos recipe usong half white/half brown rice. Added an extra cup of stock and extra soy as i love soy, also used 2x chorizos instead of bacon as i had some asnd added spme capsicum. Will serve with chopped spring onions. Doubling the recipe added about 20mins onto the cooking time but its absolutely delicious. Not gluggy at all, which is how mine usually turns out. Very very yummy. Thankyou 😁

I made this for the first time yesterday after seeing all the reviews. It is delicious and the texture of the rice perfect, I will never make fried rice any other way thank you 😁

Really yummy Best fried rice

This is fabulous & only limited by your imagination!
I used 3 tablespoons olive oil & 1 sesame as I didn’t have peanut oil.
I’ve used dried shiitake mushrooms (soaked before adding) prawns, Chinese sausage & more each time it gets better

Brilliant. The best fried rice I have ever made. Cant wait to try it again and start experimenting a little bit. Brilliant side dish. With some added proteins you could have this as a meal in itself!!

Made exacty to recipe!
Best rice ive ever made…
Added extra soy at the end. Wont be making fried rice any other way. Big winner in our house

Love this recipe, I use oyster sauce instead of soy which works well. Can’t seem to get the rice to brown though, even after more then 5 minutes. Tastes great

Wow! I was hesitant with the fish sauce. But didn’t want to alter the recipe as the reviews were promising! I found a less stinky one. Brand Poonsin. This dish did NOT disappoint. And looks exactly like the pic 😍.

I made this tonight, what can I say. Absolutely lovely.
Fussy hubby said that’s a winner.

Alterations low gi to the recipe, in Kambrook slow cooker:
Basmati rice, 1 litre chicken stock low salt.
Time: 2 hours in high, good mix around 1 hour. Then 0:30 in low.
Served with finely shopped spring onion and beaten egg pieces on top.

Delicious dinner. I made the mistake of using low salt soy so added a dash of normal soy once in the plate. So yummy!

This is delicious! I prefer it over take away fried rice. Sometimes I’ll add left over chicken or a roast chicken and sweet Chilli sauce to it as well to make it a full meal

Just bought baby cooker today and this recipe was perfec to go with honey soy legs. Such easy instructions and delicious. Will be doing again and again. Thanks ☺

This tasted just like the rice from Asian takeaways. I think my slow cooker is a bit old and slow, so next time will cook it for 3 hours. But other wise it’s perfect and will be making it again.

I love this recipe. I add more of the sauces as we like it strong and also add some frozen prawns to make it a main meal.

Just made this for the first time and was very happy. There’s just 2 of us and we had it as a side so I halved the recipe and it fit perfectly in the baby (1.5 L). I followed the recipe to the letter except the almonds. Delicious! And still have leftovers for lunch yummy.

this smells amazing after all the ingredients are added to the slow cooker, i doubled some of the ingredients like the rice and the stock and veggies as we have a large family and the only alteration i did was add smoked paprika while frying the bacon, im in love with this site and the food, gone are the days where slow cookers are only intended for stews

Have made this twice now with 2 different size slow cookers and it wirked perfectly both times. It’s so easy and very tasty. Will be a regular.

i love this recipe! i make it all of the time and it comes out perfectly!
