Cooking Notes

I needed something quick and this worked well. I used pancetta - no sausage or prosciutto. Everything else was the same as the recipe. We both liked it and it will surely be one of the stir fried rice recipes that I use again. Next time I want to use the sausage and prosciutto.

I substituted zucchini for Brussels sprouts and bacon (chopped and fried) for prosciutto. Turned out great and definitely going into the rotation. The lemon juice makes this sing.

Made this w/o sugar and it was just fine!

Enjoyed this recipe but felt it lacked on the amount in the ingredients. One ounce of sausage isn't enough to matter. 1/4 cup chopped onions and .... isn't enough. I doubled the amount of almost everything. I only used the 1 egg as written and 1 t lemon juice. Will make again using my measured amounts.

Good, but need to double recipe for 4. Nice to have fried rice with a different flavor profile.
