Homemade Takeout

Satisfy your takeout cravings and create delicious, hot and fresh fried rice right at home. Start with an aromatic base of minced garlic and soy sauce sautéed with whole grain Success® Brown Rice. Then, toss in some diced ham, sautéed green peppers, onions and mushrooms along with a beaten egg for added vegetables and protein. Finally, simply top everything off with green onion and chopped pine nuts for extra crunch. Make this easy dish and get ready for a fun and savory combination of flavors!

Leftover Rice

Made too much rice? Don’t throw it out! Fried rice is great when it’s made with leftover rice. It also works perfectly with any type of rice, whether it be Success® Basmati, Success® Jasmine or traditional Success® White Rice. Leftover rice has a drier texture, which releases less moisture into the pan, making for fluffy fried rice that cooks up evenly with more flavor. You can also use freshly cooked rice, but make sure to let it cool completely before proceeding with your recipe.
