Photographing rice is not easy...it's difficult to make it look, "exciting!"
But rest assured...you make this Ginger-Scallion Fried Rice one time... and your taste buds will do cartwheels!!!
A perfect side dish to any Asian inspired seafood, meat or poultry...I hope you'll give it a try!

Oh yeah that does sound good! And it looks very exciting, too :) I'm gonna have to remember this one for a delicious and different side dish!
I've never been good at fried rice. I have read many times that it is essential to have cold and somewhat dried out leftover rice. I will try again.
Lookin' goood. I would love this dish.
Thanks guys. :)
@StephenC - it's funny you say that because I have taken day old leftovers of this rice and refried it up in my wok to heat it up again ~ and it was possibly even better!!!!!!
Thanks!
Your photo looks great to me. This rice does sound good. Another bookmarked.
Girl, I wish my pictures looked half as good as yours. Exciting or not, this fried rice looks incredible! I would eat it and than ask for seconds.. probably thirds even :)
Cartwheels? Sounds exciting! I've never made fried rice! I love ginger though! You did a great job as always with the photos!! now that I've taken on that aspect of my blog, I see how it can be difficult!!
You're so right about photographing rice...I've had trouble with all grains. It's hard to pick up the distinction between the tiny pieces. But your photos are fantastic, as always!
This rice sounds great. I love Sam Choy's books.
You are right, this is the perfect compliment to an Asian meal! Love the photos, you paid extra effort for these and it is obvious!
What are you talking about? Your rice looks beautiful! And sounds so delicious.
