My family absolutely loves fried rice so I prepared this classic egg fried rice recipe to satisfy them. It’s got a glorious butter flavor which makes it different from other fried rice recipes. If you ever make fried rice, this is the style to go by! It will go great with some Indo-Chinese Chilli Chicken or any Chinese gravy dish.  Enjoy 🙂
