“As someone who grew up on Chicken Helper chicken fried rice, I so wanted to love this recipe. But, I just didn't. As Tina mentioned, the sesame oil was bizarre- think slightly burnt tasting sesame rice with hints of a few other flavors (garlic, ginger, soy uma” — a cook, 3.0★
“We made this recipe using leftover, pre-cooked chicken leftovers, and it was great. We just added it toward the end and let the residual heat reheat it. We also added a tsp of fish sauce and a tsp of shaoxing wine.” — a cook, 5.0★
