I served this as our main dish--it's plenty filling for a main dish since it contains chicken, eggs, rice and vegetables. I'd say this recipe would feed 4 adults. If you want it to go further, cook up some crunchy egg rolls as a side dish!
Chinese Style Chicken Fried Rice
ingredients:
4 cups cooked rice (cold)
1 cup finely chopped onion
3 tbsp. oil, divided
3 eggs, lightly beaten
1/2 tsp. soy sauce + additional 2--3 tbsp.
1/2 tsp. sesame oil + additional 1/2--1 tsp.
3 cups cooked chicken breast, chopped
1/2 cup carrot (chopped VERY small)
1/2 cup frozen peas
1 bunch green onions, chopped (be sure to cut up most of the green too!)
instructions:
Heat 1 tbsp. oil in wok pan over medium-high heat.
Add onions and cook until golden brown. Remove from wok, set aside.
Add 1/2 tsp soy sauce and 1/2 tsp. sesame oil to lightly beaten eggs, combine.
Add 1 tbsp. oil to wok pan and swirl to cover bottom and sides of pan.
Add egg mixture to the pan and swirl to coat sides of pan with egg, continue moving the pan until most of egg is around sides of pan (some will still be on the bottom too).
When eggs begin to bubble/puff up, flip the egg over and cook the other side very briefly (don’t worry about being neat). Remove the cooked egg (to a cutting board) and chop into bite size pieces.
Heat the last tbsp. of oil in the wok and add chicken, carrots, peas and the browned onions. Stir fry until peas are warmed through.
Add rice, and most of the green onion (save some for garnishing your bowls!). Heat until rice is warmed, about 3-5 minutes.
Add the additional soy sauce and sesame oil to taste. Fold in the chopped egg and stir fry until heated through.
Serve topped with chopped green onions, and extra soy sauce on the side.
Enjoy!!
