We made rice as part of our supper last night, and there was plenty of rice left over this morning. That meant, of course, it was time to make some fried rice for breakfast. And because fried rice is fast, easy, cheap, and fun to make, we present it here for your amusement. This rice was prepared in a Lodge 14-inch cast iron wok, which is the best cooking tool you can have if you want to stir fry on a cheap modern day electric stove.

That scraping sound is the beauty of using cast iron, real cooking and no damage. Let the haters go elsewhere. :)

I have been eating fried rice since I was in the Air Force and sent to Thailand my first tour of duty overseas during the Vietnam War. My mother didn't know how to cook rice properly and I avoided it until one guy there in Bangkok talked me into trying it and I loved it so much until I ate it since that time. That is a nice dish you cooked up and I hope you have inspired others to try out this dish.

Love the sound. Nice little 9" cast iron wok. I have one also, plus the 14". Both Lodge. Thanks for the video-clip. Good idea for breakfast.

Looks delicious! Thanks for sharing. I purchased a new Lodge 14" wok but have not used it yet. Can't wait to use it now

Your going ‘BOLD’ Mr. Modemac!

I'm pretty new to wok cooking but really enjoying it. I use ginger paste and crushed garlic, both from common grocery stores. By browning them in the oil before other ingredients, the flavor seems to be fresher and more pervasive through the dish. Also a good helping of crushed pepper right before you take it out of the wok adds a lot. Soy brings all the salt needed. Thanks for your vid!

Woooweee! This looks so good l could inhale the whole plate in 2 seconds. Perhaps you may want to try one of those portable induction cooktops. They heat up fast!

I actually LOVE the sound of scraping onto the cast iron… it’s part of the beauty of it

How did you season your wok and clean after each use?

Hey Eric, great video. It inspired me so much, I'm thinking about taking up bell ringing. 🤣🤣 The fried rice did look good though. 👍🏼👍🏼

I guess I know what I’ll make for my first dish. Lol. I just got my first piece of Le Creuset, the wok in Marseille. I’ll start with frying some cut up boneless chicken thighs, then the egg, the veg and then assemble it. Thanks for the great video.

I own that lodge cast iron wok and it is very heavy so you have to wait longer for it to heat up cant remember a time if any when something stuck to it

Not a bad little breakfast idea quick and easy clean up

I never could get used to my cast iron wok so it's retired. I use a carbon steel wok instead on my gas stove and over my fire pit in the back yard.

A bamboo spatula will work just as good and a lot quieter. Good job though, thanks for sharing.
