    Just a suggestion, fried rice is supposed to be made with day-old rice (which will really keep it from getting mushy). A little sesame oil swapped for about half of the cooking oil will also make the dish taste a bit more authentic. :) - 8/9/09

    A serving is approx 3/4 cup. For those counting grains, proteins, fats and veggies it is: 1 grain, 1/2 protein, 1 fat, and 1 veggie. - 1/13/10

    I am always in a quandary what is a serving? Of this, 1/2 C.? I guess you need to divide into 8 portions. Wouldn't it be easier at first glance if whoever wrote the recipe also put amount of serving rather then just calories? Maybe it's me. But I will try this it just sounds really good. - 2/28/09

    THE SOLUTION TO MUSHY RICE... I havent made this recipe but I do often make my own with brown rice and the best way to avoid the rice getting mushy is to cook it in advance and allow it to get cold in the fridge, then add it to the veggies long enough for it to get hot. - 7/6/08

    Easy to make - I used egg substitute (Garden vegertable flavour) instead of whole egg - will certainly make again!! - 4/6/09
