I came across this recipe on Tasty Kitchen and it instantly intrigued me... Matt and I LOVE fried rice and we love Sriracha. Mix them both together...SCORE!
There is a Japanese place that we go to often called Hana Yori and I am ALWAYS asking them how to make the rice because I can never seem to get it right. The chef told me the trick is to use cold rice, which I had never done before. It had been a while since I had attempted to make it when I came across this yesterday morning, so I decided to give it another whirl. I must say, it was pretty amazing...if you like spicy, you will love this! If you don't, you can just omit it and still love it!
After I saw the recipe on TK, I checked out who submitted the recipe and saw the link to her blog, Everyday Delightful. You should really go and check it out. There are some really great recipes over there!

I'm really looking forward to trying this one! I LOVE spicy food and have been trying to figure out the mystery of cooking the perfect fried rice. A vietnamese friend of mine once told me the secret was a dash of sugar.
Thanks for the great tip =)
I was JUST telling Brandon that I need to incorporate more heat into my cooking. This is the perfect dish! Thanks, Steph :).
So glad you liked it! I love adding Sriracha to (almost) anything :)
I love that it's vegetarian!! I wasn't sure what sriracha was at first, but I'm guessing a spice. Where do you buy it! I want to try this so bad I'm gonna go buy a wok tomorrow!!
