Where’s the full recipe - why can I only see the ingredients?

Always check the publication for a full list of ingredients. An Eat Your Books index lists the main ingredients and does not include 'store-cupboard ingredients' (salt, pepper, oil, flour, etc.) - unless called for in significant quantity.

    Made without the mushrooms because they were a little expensive and I was just making this for lunches. It is pretty good and easy. I would make it again if I had a lot of leftover rice

    We made a few modifications to lighten this up a bit but still really enjoyed it. We used about 4 oz of ham instead of the bacon and cut out one egg. We also added a few extra veggies we had kicking around in the fridge, including shade Brussels sprouts and green beans. We didn’t have any pickled ginger on hand unfortunately. Nicely seasoned and easy to put together.

    Loved this. Served with Quick Pickles and Greens with Sesame Dressing. Used prawns instead of bacon. Didn't have any mushrooms. Added spinach.

    My husband and I really liked this healthier version of fried rice. I halved all the ingredients to serve two people and probably have at least one serving leftover for lunch tomorrow. Served with the salmon and ponzu recipe from the same cookbook. When I make it again, I may increase the vegetables to the four serving level to make the rice dish more of a main meal than side dish.
