Which leads us to this: our collection of the very best fried rice recipes to work your way through, one bowl at a time. Fire up your wok: let’s do this…

25 best fried rice recipes

Chinese Fried Rice

This classic Chinese restaurant style fried rice is one of our most-popular Marion’s Kitchen recipes – make it to find out why! The secret is all in the prep: use precooked rice for the best results, while leftover char siu pork is the perfect flavour burst.

Garlic Butter Fried Rice

Garlic, butter, eggs… and cheese? Yep, you heard us – it’s an unusual addition to a fried rice recipe, but boy does it taste good!

Salt & Pepper Prawn Fried Rice

A true love story: fried rice, getting up close with fragrant, peppery prawns.

Superfood Fried Rice

Feeling in need of some greens? This healthier fried rice is packed full of lean protein, green vegetables and grains. And it’s as delicious as it is virtuous!

Pineapple Fried Rice

This Thai street food specialty with its pineapple bowl always reminds Marion of beach holidays. Making the bowl is fiddly but fun, then pile in the stir-fried bacon, prawns, cashews, egg and rice and top with fresh coriander.

Thai Crab Fried Rice

Chilli fish sauce (prik nam pla) is the perfect accompaniment for this delicious and easy fried rice with delicate crab meat. Using precooked rice is best, and means that you can have this meal on the table in less than 20 minutes.

Thai Red Curry Fried Rice

This fried rice is full of spicy, Thai red curry flavours – what a perfect pairing! And, because it makes use of my Marion’s Kitchen curry kit, it takes mere minutes to cook come dinnertime. Perfect for when you’re in a hurry during those busy weeknights.

Chicken & Carrot Confetti Fried Rice

This kid-friendly fried rice is a big hit with littlies and gown-ups alike – it’s packed full of veggies, has zero spice (although you can add yours after you serve the little ones!) and has fun egg ‘noodles’ on top. Both the young and the young-at-heart will love this total crowd-pleaser.

Spicy Chicken & Basil Fried Rice

This spicy fried rice is full-on fiery, guys! It’s a combination of that gorgeous Thai stir-fry pad ga prao paired with delicious savoury rice… and it totally packs a hot punch! Ease up on the chillies if needed to suit (and save) your tastebuds.

Japanese Garlic Fried Rice

The secret ingredient makes this Japanese fried rice unlike anything else we’ve ever done… but boy, is it good! Buttery, garlicky, egg accents and that little something extra add up to a great-tasting, standout rice dish. One of our best fried rice recipes, for sure!

Thai ‘Railway’ Fried Rice

Old-school recipes are classic for a reason: they’re delicious! This fried rice is traditional but full-on tasty, and is also ideal when you’re on a budget.

XO Sauce Fried Rice

If there was a luxe, gold standard of fried rice, then this recipe is it: a bit more time involved, but a heck of a lot of flavour. Bring it on, we say.

Korean-style Beef Fried Rice

Mix up your fried rice options with this spicy Korean-inspired version – it’s a goodie! Veggies, egg, beef and more all make friends in this winning savoury dish.

Thai Green Curry Fried Rice

We took two of our favourite dishes, thai green curry and fried rice, and made it into one amazing dinner! And it’s all done in one pan, meaning less washing up afterwards.

Beef Nasi Goreng

This famous Indonesian fried rice is bursting with umami goodness, and the addition of beef mince keeps the prep and cook time to a minimum. Ideal for weeknights, this sweet and savoury stir-fried dish is quick and simple to make. You could even top it with a fried egg for even more authentic deliciousness!

Garlic Pork Fried Rice

This easy fried rice recipe is a bit of an obsession of ours… it’s garlicky, porky and features one ingredient you might not be expecting…

Tom Yum Fried Rice

The classic flavours of Thai tom yum soup get a fried rice makeover. It’s so incredibly fragrant and has just the right level of spice to make your tastebuds sing.

Spicy Tuna Fried Rice

Canned tuna doesn’t just have to be destined for soggy salads or bland sandwiches. Here’s how to turn this humble pantry staple into a spicy, stomach-pleasing bowl of ultimate fried rice.

Thai Chilli & Basil Fried Rice

Love fried rice? Love spicy food? Then you are going to seriously love this hot, hot, hot rice dish, which borrows its flavour from the much-loved Thai basil and chilli stir-fry. Yes it’s fiery, but trust: it’s also fabulous.

American Fried Rice

This variation of fried rice is hugely popular in Thailand… kids love it! With crispy chicken tenders and cute frankfurters on the side, it’s a plate of pure retro fun, but still tastes utterly delicious. Try it for your littlies today!

Chinese Sausage & Egg Fried Rice

Salty, eggy, and porky – this is the fried rice that dreams are made of. Everyone has a favourite childhood dish that is comforting, warming and nourishing, and this is one of Marion’s. It only takes 10 minutes to cook and is great for breakfast, lunch or dinner.

Healthy Fried Rice (kinda)

This dish boasts lots of veg, healthy Omega-3 fats from salmon, and wholegrain rice. This is better-for-you fried rice that still delivers on epic flavours.

Kimchi Fried Rice

Spicy, Korean-style fried rice, cooked with kimchi, bacon and butter… this dish is all the things! The fried egg is the most epic of toppings too – ditch it at your peril. My top tip? Day-old rice will give you the dryness you need for perfect, separated grains.

Thai Pork Fried Rice

This one is a real family favourite: Mama Noi’s pork fried rice that’s ready in a flash, making it perfect for those hectic worknights. Little jewels of tomato bring sweetness to the dish, while we can’t get enough of that spicy sauce on the side for dipping the pork. Heaven.

Leftovers Nasi Goreng

This version of Indonesian fried rice is a fantastic way to use up your leftovers after a big roast and gives day-old rice a whole new lease of life. And that crispy fried egg? Non-negotiable!

How to cook rice: 3 steps to success

How to cook rice: 3 steps to success

Goodbye, gluggy grains. Hello, rice perfection.

You know me – I’m a sucker for a rice dish. Fried rice, steamed rice, baked rice… it’s all good in my eyes. And, just like anyone else who grew up with an Asian mum, it’s been ingrained (pun intended) in me since I was kid how to cook it just right. It all comes down to what you’re using your rice for – fried rice, for instance, always works better with drier, day-old grains. So how to get it spot-on? Follow my fool-proof method for cooking rice and don’t ever get tripped up again.

Hainanese Chicken Rice is a total classic. But you’ve got to get that rice spot-on.

The best way to cook rice

This method is ideal for four serves, but you can absolutely adapt it to suit larger quantities. Keep reading for my handy hint… because you MAY have been doing it wrong up until this moment.

1: Wash your rice

Place 2 cups of long grain rice into a fine sieve and rinse it with water to remove excess starch. Then add it into a saucepan along with 2½ cups water and, over a high heat, bring to a boil.

2: Gently does it

Now reduce the heat to medium and cook until you can see the rice grains poking up above the water. Cover the saucepan with a lid set slightly ajar so some of the steam can escape. Cook for 5 minutes.

3: The final steam

After 5 minutes, it should look like all of the water has been absorbed by the rice. Turn the heat off and cover completely with the lid. Allow the pot to sit covered for 10 minutes to allow the steam to continue cooking the rice. When you’re ready to serve, use a fork to gently fluff up the rice.

Ok, great. But how do I make fried rice?

I got you. And here’s the secret: follow the same procedure to make the same amount, but reduce the water to 2¼ cups. That’s because when you’re cooking rice for fried rice, you want the grains drier, as they’ll be cooked again in the wok.

Once you’ve done your 1-2-3 steps and fluffed up the rice grains, spread the rice out on a large baking tray. Place it in the fridge, uncovered, for at least 30 minutes (although overnight is best) to dry it out. And done: it’s now ready to use for fried rice.

How much water do I need to cook rice?

Ah, the magical rice/water ratio. It’s a total brainteaser for so many people, but here’s the knowledge you’ve been waiting for.

You’ve probably come across some guidance that gives a rice-to-water ratio of 1:1.5, which means if you’ve got one cup of rice you use one-and-a-half cups of water. However, once you start making larger quantities, you run into trouble.

My tip? You only ever need an extra ½ cup of water (or ¼ cup for fried rice), no matter how much rice you’re cooking. It’s simply there for evaporation, regardless of quantity. So 1 cup of rice needs 1½ cups of water, and 10 cups of rice needs only 10½ cups of water. So simple.

Now to start scaling that mountain of rice recipes…

Ingredients

Steps

Heat 2 tablespoons of the vegetable oil in a wok or large frying pan over high heat. Add the onion and garlic and stir-fry for half a minute or until just softened.

Then push everything to one side and add the egg to the empty side. Use a spatula to move the egg around so that it forms a thin omelette. Once the egg is almost set, break it up and mix it into the other ingredients. Add the rice, soy sauce and spring onion, then stir-fry until well combined.

How do you cook rice for fried rice?

Ah, the age-old question: how to cook rice when making fried rice! Lucky for you I’ve got the goods so you can enjoy all your favourite fried rice recipes. The secret is all in the prep and the water to rice ratio, which is 1:1. Because you want the rice grains a little drier for fried rice, you want to add an extra ¼ cup of water to the pan – and this stays the same no matter how much long grain rice you’re using. So 8 cups of rice would be 8¼ cups of water. Also, try to use day-old rice as it’s much better.

What is jasmine rice?

Jasmine rice, also known as fragrant rice, is a variety of long-grain rice that is predominantly grown in Thailand, Laos, Vietnam and Cambodia. It has a distinctive aroma and a sweet and nutty flavour that makes it different to other types of rice. Why is it called jasmine rice? Well, it’s actually not because it smells like the jasmine flower – it’s because it’s the same colour as it. It’s quite similar to basmati rice, but is much more delicate in consistency.

For the prik nam pla, mix the fish sauce and chillies in a small bowl. Squeeze in the lime juice and leave the wedges sitting in the sauce (it adds extra tang as it sits and I quite like the way it looks too).

Heat the oil in a wok over high heat. When the oil is hot, add the onion and stir-fry for a minute. Add the garlic and chicken and stir-fry for 2–3 minutes or until the chicken is almost cooked. Add the gai lan. Stir-fry for another 2 minutes or until the chicken is cooked and the greens are tender. Toss through the tomato.

Move everything to the side of the wok. Add the extra teaspoon of oil into the empty side and then pour in the egg. Allow to set for a minute or so. Then flip and scramble the egg using your spatula.

Add the rice, soy sauce, fish sauce, sugar and pepper. Stir-fry for 1-2 minutes or until the rice grains are evenly coated. Divide among serving plates and serve with the prik nam pla, cucumber and lime.

Steps

For the chicken, pat chicken pieces dry with paper towel. Season generously with salt. Heat a non-stick pan over medium-high heat. When the pan is hot, add oil, followed by the chicken pieces, skin side down. Place a sheet of baking paper over the top. Then place another heavy pan on top to evenly press down on the chicken. Cook for 12 minutes or until a golden, crispy crust forms. Then turn chicken over and cook for a further 2 minutes or until cooked through. Transfer to a wire rack.

Meanwhile, let’s make the fried rice. Heat the vegetable oil in a wok over high heat. Add the garlic, onion and Chinese sausage. Cook for 2 minutes until the onion is starting to brown. Add the Asian vegetables and spinach and cook for a further 2 minutes until wilted. Add the rice and soy sauce and toss until well combined. Remove from heat and toss through the spring onion, sesame oil, pepper and lime juice.

To serve, divide rice between serving bowls. Slice the chicken pieces and add to the rice. Sprinkle with extra spring onion. Serve with sambal oelek and lime wedges.

Notes:

– Chinese sausage (lap cheong) and sambal oelek chilli paste are available in the Asian section of some major supermarkets or from an Asian grocer.

– Sambal oelek is a spicy paste made from fresh red chillies. It’s available from the Asian aisle of most supermarkets or from an Asian grocer.

33 Korean recipes to get excited about

All those in favour, say “aye”.

I’m a big fan of Korean food – it’s a taste sensation! And don’t even get me started on how much I love gochujang. From the ubiquitous kimchi and gimbap to a whole variety of hearty spicy stews, I’ve pulled together some of the most delicious (and easy) Korean recipes I know how to make.

My best Korean recipes

Now THIS is a compilation… those tastebuds of yours won’t know what hit them. Get set for funk, spice, heat and a whole lotta good stuff. Oh, and full disclaimer: these Korean recipes are totally made my way – they’re inspired by Korean flavours, and Korean “style” in nature. So, while they may not be traditional to the nth degree (don’t come at me in the comments!), I CAN guarantee they’re all delicious.

Korean Vampire Chicken

No need to watch mukbangs with envy – this Korean vampire chicken is the real deal and easy to make at home. Loaded with garlic and spice, it’s crunchy and lip-tingling all at the same time. Fried chicken that’s scary good. Possibly the spiciest of all my Korean recipes!

Folded Gimbap

Folded gimbap: it’s the TikTok trend I HAD to get behind! This Korean dish is like a mash-up between sushi and a sandwich, and I am here for it. This recipe is for my budget-friendly version – ideal for lunchboxes and everyday snackage – although you can totally choose your own adventure when it comes to fillings. In fact, watch the vid for my affordable vs luxury take on things for the ultimate inspo!

Korean Army Stew

Also known as army base stew or budae jjigae, this recipe takes simple, basic ingredients and transforms them into a mouth-wateringly spicy dish. During harder times in Korea, many people would use processed meat supplies from US military bases to whip up this hearty stew, hence its name. I like to add tofu and mushrooms to my version to pump up the freshness.

Korean Vegetable Pancakes

Bursting with tasty vegetables and tangy kimchi, these pancakes make a quick and simple weeknight dinner. They’re great for lunchboxes and on picnics, too!

Deep-fried Sweet & Sour Pork (Tangsuyuk)

Tangy, crispy, glossy: my take on this popular Korean classic is bursting at the seams with freshness and flavour.

Kimchi Grilled Cheese Sandwich

Not many things beat a toasted cheese sandwich when hunger strikes. Well, actually they do: a grilled cheese sandwich with added kimchi. One of my easiest Korean recipes, but certainly one of the tastiest.

Spicy Korean Pork Dumplings

For those of you who watch my YouTube channel regularly you’ll know I love all things spicy and all things dumpling. So it’ll come as no surprise that these spicy pork dumplings are my not-so-secret obsession. They are so good, I could almost eat all 60 in one sitting. Almost!

Beef Bulgogi Tacos

Tacos are always a hit in my household, and these Korean-inspired offerings even more so. Beautifully marinated, tender beef, crunchy fresh cabbage and a spicy mayo… these are umami-laden parcels of pure delight.

Korean-style Grilled Chicken

This grilled chicken is seriously easy – but don’t think that means flavour takes a back seat! It’s one big taste explosion, and the lemony, sesame salt at the end is to die for. For even more awesomeness, leave the meat to marinade overnight.

Kimchi Chicken Kiev

This fusion dish is literally an umami bomb with the buttery, garlicky goodness of a chicken kiev stuffing combined with kimchi and gochujang chilli paste inside crumbed chicken breasts. Serve with honey sesame coleslaw and you’ve got a total winner on your hands.

Korean Fire Chicken with Cheese

Fiery spicy chicken with gooey melted mozzarella cheese is the perfect combination for this pan bake. Gochujang chilli paste plus chilli and paprika give the fire, cheese brings the nomz. Serve this with rice and steamed Asian greens to round out the meal.

Easy Bibimbap Bowl

My version of this famous Korean rice bowl is a lot easier than you think to rustle up, and it’s a goodie, guys! Dive into slightly spicy, sesame beef, perfectly stir-fried vegies and an oozy, silky egg to top it off. Pure joy!

Spicy Korean Chicken Soup

Who doesn’t love a comforting chicken soup? This freezer-friendly version is spiced up with some epic Korean flavours and features silky smooth tofu, too. Tone down the heat by reducing the kimchi and chilli paste, and amp up the veggie action by adding whatever greens you have in the fridge.

Beef Bulgogi Lettuce Cups

Zhuzh up your weeknight dinner offering with these budget-friendly but big-on-flavour lettuce cups. A new household classic, coming at you!

Spicy Korean Chicken Ramen

I love spicy noodles at the best of times, but holy smokes – these are everything a person could wish for! This shortcut ramen keeps the cook time low but the flavour is full-on high. Stick with darker chicken meat to keep things succulent and juicy.

Korean Fried Chicken Bao

Once you’ve made your bao from scratch, it will rock your world forever. Add some Korean-inspired fried chicken, and you have even more of a gamechanger on your hands.

Korean Spicy Dumpling Salad

How to make a bowl of dumplings feel more virtuous? Just add salad! I’ve combined the two and I’m not even sorry – it’s fresh, filling and downright delicious.

Spicy Kimchi Pork Noodles

Fiery pork noodles? Yep, so hot right now. Dive into this bowl of pure comfort and lose yourself in the spicy goodness.

Cheesy Gochujang Hasselback Potatoes

Yep, I just improved a classic. Roast potatoes get a grown-up switcheroo to transform into cheesy, spicy, savoury wonders. So good.

Epic Korean Potato Salad

Bring some freshness to the festivities with this stunner of a salad. Pops of apple, creamy potatoes and crunchy cabbage bring the party to your tastebuds. The Korean chilli flakes in the salad dressing are next-level, too!

Kimchi Fried Noodles

These are the noodles you need when you’re craving a meat-free, healthy-ish vibe come dinnertime. So many vegies, so many layers of flavour.

Easy Korean Kimchi

It’s surprisingly easy to make homemade kimchi – and this one is a real fan favourite! Embrace the funk and get amongst it.

Korean Fried Chicken Wings

Hold on to your teeth, people: these fried chicken wings are pure crunch. Make friends with mess and get involved in these spicy, sticky, devilishly good morsels.

Jap Chae Noodles

My version of Korean japchae is a noodle-lover’s delight, and I’ve got just the techniques to take this dish off the scale, flavour-wise!

Spicy Korean Pork Stir-fry

This stir-fry packs an absolute punch: it’s got spice, tender strips of pork and umami in spades! Mix it up with chicken thighs instead of pork if you fancy a different take on the dish.

Korean-style Beef Fried Rice

Mix up your fried rice options with this spicy Korean-inspired version – it’s a goodie! Vegies, egg, beef and more all make friends in this winning savoury dish. And, for the perfect grains, don’t forget day-old rice is what you need.

Spicy Korean Fried Cauliflower

If you’re wondering about vegetable side dishes to serve at your next gathering, wonder no more: this spicy, crispy cauliflower will go down a storm! It’s also fabulous served with steamed rice for a meat-free meal.

Korean-style Grilled Beef Skewers

Jam-packed with flavour, these tender beef skewers are mouth-wateringly good. Make sure whichever pan you use is super hot – you want to hear that loud sizzle to ensure a good sear!

Prawn Pancakes

Crispy pancakes, stuffed full of charred onion and juicy prawns, then served with a spicy dipping sauce… prepare to flip out, because these 15-minute savoury Korean pancakes are divine! I reckon this recipe will feed six people if served as a party snack, or four as a main course – that’s if you’re willing to share them…

Kimchi Fried Rice

Spicy fried rice, cooked with kimchi, bacon and butter… this dish is all the things! The fried egg is the most epic of toppings too – ditch it at your peril. My top tip? Day-old rice will give you the dryness you need for perfect, separated grains.

Korean-style Beef Stir-fry

This is not your average beef stir-fry! I have a few tips and tricks to getting the beef super tender on this one. And I just love the gorgeously spicy Korean flavours of kimchi and gochujang. It’s also ready in minutes so it makes the perfect quick and easy weeknight dinner.

Korean Grilled Beef Lettuce Wraps

The secret to tender charred Korean beef is a marinade with nashi pear. Thinly sliced beef, cabbage, kimchi and Asian herbs are wrapped in soft lettuce leaves. Serve all of the ingredients at the table so everyone can make their own wraps. You can even use a tabletop grill and let them cook their own marinated beef slices.

Korean-style Steak Sandwich

The perfect sandwich is all about the details. Tender marinated beef, quick vegie pickle and spicy mayonnaise on a crusty bread roll make a delicious sandwich. Serve up an unforgettable lunch or light meal.

Ingredients

Steps

Place the pork steaks in a bowl or on a shallow tray. Toss with the char siu sauce until well coated.

Heat a pan over high heat. Add the oil and then cook the pork steaks for 3-4 minutes each side or until slightly charred at the edges and just cooked through. Transfer the pork to a plate and set aside.

Meanwhile, combine the soy sauce, Shaoxing wine, sesame oil and sugar in a small bowl and set aside. For the fried rice, heat the oil in a wok or frying pan over high heat. Add the onion and stir-fry for a minute or until just starting to soften, then add the garlic and stir-fry for 30 seconds or until fragrant. Add the green vegetables (you may like to add the stems first to give them a headstart, as they’ll tend to take longer than the more delicate leaves) and stir-fry for another 2 minutes until starting to become tender.

Move everything to the side and add the eggs into the empty side. Allow to set for a minute or so before breaking up the egg and combining with the rest of the ingredients. Add the garlic chives, rice, soy sauce mixture and pepper. Stir-fry and toss the rice until evenly coated in the sauce.

Divide the fried rice among serving bowls. Slice the pork and divide among the bowls. Drizzle over some of the pan juices and scatter with spring onion. Serve immediately.

Notes:

– Char siu sauce is a Cantonese barbecue sauce available in the Asian aisle of some supermarkets or search it out online.

Delicious but somehow managed to burn some of the marinade

This is a fab tasting dish and fairly easy to make. Will certainly make it again. Think the reason I burnt the marinade was because my pork steaks were too thick so maybe need to flatten them first next time?

Response from Marion's Kitchen

Hi there and thanks so much for your feedback! Yes, you have to keep a close eye on the pork steaks to prevent any burning. You might like to flatten them slightly so they’re just under 1″ thick, or alternatively check your heat setting. You want an initial high heat to create some char and sear, but then try turning it down to prevent any burning/overcooking. Hope this helps!

Ingredients

Steps

Pour a 2cm (just under 1 inch) depth of oil into a wok or small frying pan and place over medium-high heat. When it’s hot, crack in an egg and fry until crispy at the edges and the yolk is cooked to your liking. Drain on paper towel and repeat with the remaining eggs.

Heat 2 tablespoons of vegetable oil in a wok or large frying pan over high heat. Add the garlic and the onion and stir-fry for a minute. Add the chicken and stir-fry until the chicken is almost cooked. Now add the Thai red curry paste and cook for a minute or until fragrant.

Add the rice and stir-fry until evenly mixed. Toss through the basil and remove from heat. Serve fried rice topped with an egg and sprinkled with slices of chilli.

Notes:

– Use regular Italian basil if Thai basil is not available.

Will make again with some changes

I made this with my local grocery stores Thai Ted Curry and it was good! My kids loved it. Right away after cooking the chicken though I knew there was going to be an issue because I could see there was no way it was gonna flavour all that rice. It was gonna be extremely dry and hard to mix all that rice around to get flavour. So I added some water and extra curry powder since I didnt have more red curry paste. I also needed to add salt and used a full large onion. So, next time, more red curry paste! At least 3 tbsp I think if not more, especially if I use the full 4 cups of cooked rice. This problem might be avoided with another red curry paste that’s more powerful or spicy. Im guessing Marion’s is wish we could get it in Canada! Great recipe that’s a keeper though! Thank you
