I have tried making fried rice for two several times without success (always ending up with way too much rice). This is the first and best fried rice recipe that has delivered on flavor while actually making a serving for two. If desired, cooked meat can be added to the the rice such as diced ham, shredded chicken or small shrimp.
Matches well with the Beef Satay recipe.
