I was surprisingly happy with the way this turned out. I haven’t had good fried rice since I left Okinawa. This still wasn’t as good as the fried rice you can get over there, but it was better than anything you can get in a restaurant down here in VA.
I had to make my own Tonkatsu sauce, since the grocery store didn’t have it. I was a little worried about this, but it turned out really good.
The recipe only called for one tblspn, I used two and I think I could have used more. I really like the flavor, and I don’t think more would have hurt it at all. (Good thing I have 3 cups of it in the fridge now!)
I think I could have put more scrambled egg in as well. And I actually need to perfect the way I added the egg….didn’t turn out quite right, but didn’t affect the end result.
Overall, great recipe for fried rice!
