I hardly eat rice now and when I do, I make sure I make this fried rice recipe.

When I created this recipe, Benihana Restaurant’s fried rice was my inspiration because I just love their fried rice… I mean who doesn’t.

With my version, I just added chili garlic sauce because I want it a bit spicy and I also made it a bit guilt-free without sacrificing the Benihana flavors too much.

This fried rice is very addicting so make sure to watch how much you eat because you can easily eat tons of it…
