Rice-A-Roni Stir Fried Rice Mix 6.2 oz. Box

I tried this Rice A Roni stir fried rice flavor for the first time, recently. I really enjoyed it! I made a few tweaks by sautéing the dry rice mix in sesame oil instead of butter. I also added about a tablespoon of sugar (one of the secrets to restaurant style fried rice!) to balance out the saltiness I knew would be in the seasoning packet. I added a small dash of soy sauce to bring out the umami flavor I crave. I sautéed shrimp in sesame oil, and sliced up some green onions length wise and added both to the pot just before the cook time finished for boiling the rice itself. It made for a nice meal that was tasty and very satisfying! I now know that Rice A Roni stir fried rice is a great base that’s 99.9% the way to the finish line on making fried rice at home when I’m craving it and don’t want to deal with a take out place, or spend a bunch of money.
