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!

Jo the stock is already in the slow cooker
The egg goes with the rice at the end of that stage then that’s all added to slow cooker

Do you just just mix the uncooked eggs and stock together and pour into slow cooker.

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.

Cooked perfectly
I ended up putting 3 cups of stock to 2 cups rice.
Didn’t have bacon, so put leftover chicken in it.
I also didn’t use any sauces as my step father is allergic. It was a bit dry, but still nice. I will put soy sauce in my personal bowl next time. I’d also probably use one more egg.

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.

Can you substitute the fish sauce for extra soy or sesame oil? Can you use any other oil beside peanut oil.

Hi
I used long grain rice and I did do mine in a 3.5L cooker. Here is my review of what I did from further down the comments >> “Made this for the first time yesterday after reading all the glowing reports… they were absolutely right!
This is literally the only way I’ll make fried rice in future – it was that good!
The flavours were spot on and the rice was fluffy and separated, not at all gluggy or sticky
The only changes I made:
I used 3 cups of chicken stock instead of 2 after reading comments here
I added 1 tablespoon of sesame oil along with the other sauces
I cooked it for around 2HRS HIGH
That’s the way I’ll stick with in future as the result was perfection 🙂
Cooked mine in a 3.5L slow cooker
ps it also reheated well in the microwave in a couple minutes as I’d made mine earlier in the day so just reheated at dinner time”

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.

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.

I can’t eait to cook this but How long would you cook this on a low setting? My slow cooker does not have a big setting.
Vanessa
May 24, 2018
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 😊
Nicole
May 5, 2018
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.

May 5, 2018
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

Trying this recipe now, I’ve read all the reviews and hints/tips. I started out putting 3 cups of stock in the slow cooker, fried the rice off etc added everything to the slow cooker with the tea towel, just checked it and it’s dry and gluggy 😩 I’ve added an extra cup of stock and praying for the best. I have a feeling it’s not going to work out, it may be the quality of rice, it may be the slow cooker….. 🤔

First time cooking Fried Rice. Nice and tasty. Used 3 cups of stock, peas instead of mixed vegies and cooked the egg and added at the end. Cooked 90 mins in Sunbeam Secret Chef. Will halve the recipe next time as it made quite a bit for 1. Thanks Juanita.

I don’t have any any peanut oil, I have sesame; olive and canola oil, what would be the best substitute? And do I still use 4 tbsp if I’m substituting? Thanks

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.
Fiona
April 13, 2018
Great recipe, was a definite winner. Quick and easy preparation and lovely flavour. I thought it tasted better than takeaway.
I made it a second time using basmati rice and after 1.5 hours the rice was still crunchy. Added more water and cooked fora lot longer but rice was still firm. I wouldn’t use basmati again.
Andrea
April 12, 2018
Best Fried Rice recipe ever! I made it last Saturday for a dinner party. I was a bit nervous lol as I hadn’t made it before but after reading all the reviews I decided to give it a go. It was devoured by all and everyone commented on the amazing flavours. Since made it two more times for the family. Also tastes even better heated up next day.

You can still do it in a bigger one it will be hotter though and will cook faster
Or by all means double it up if you wish 🙂

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 😁

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

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 😍.

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!

I Love this dish so easy and it makes such a large amount so I freeze for use at a later date (I cryovac then freeze) then to heat I just put the bag in a saucepan with hot water, when hot open the bag and it comes out as good at when made fresh.
sylvia
October 2, 2016
I love this recipe! But have made a few adjustments.
I use 3 cups of stock to 2 cups of long rice. I have added cooked diced chicken and also more vegetables including fresh chopped carrot. I don’t stir each layer in and once it’s in the SC with a teatowel under the lid don’t touch it! Let it do its thing. I cook on high for 2 hrs
Hope this helps.
Jessica Gabris
October 1, 2016
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

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.

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.

April 7, 2016
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

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
