Yakimeshi – Japanese Fried Rice

Japanese Fried Rice, known as “Yakimeshi” in Japan, is a very flavorful and delicious recipe that is very easy to make. This is because it doesn’t require any special ingredients and you can create it with things you probably already have in your kitchen.

Yakimeshi is usually cooked with leftover rice, so rice cooking time is not included. You can also replace bacon with ham, shrimp, salmon pieces, and replace or add different vegetables such as onion, carrot, green beans, peas, etc.
