Mike and I both enjoy fried rice, or at least Mike claims he likes fried rice. The recipe in Easy Chinese Recipes calls for carrots, peas, and diced ham. I don't like carrots or peas and I didn't have ham. However, I did have turkey bacon, which I figured was similar enough to ham. I also put spinach in the dish since I figured that I should put some vegetables in it.
The dish did not taste like any fried rice I've ever had, and I don't think it was because of the spinach and turkey bacon. Even the rice did not taste like regular fried rice. I honestly think the garlic was too strong in this dish. This was the Yangzhou Fried Rice recipe. I might try the "traditional" shrimp fried rice recipe next time.
Mike felt that the freezer was getting too full (there was plenty of room in it if food was moved around), so he made one of the packages of Orange Chicken from Costco to eat with the fried rice.
