When I was little, my family would go out to eat at Chinese restaurants and all I wanted to order was a bowl of white rice. Seriously. A bowl of white rice and some soy sauce. Mmm, nutritious right? I LOVED white rice. Still do. But when I worked in a Chinese restaurant all through high school, I branched out and fell in love with brown rice and fried rices. Although ham fried rice is probably the most common, I prefer shrimp fried rice, chicken fried rice, and veggie fried rice. Oh oh and house fried rice. House fried rice has veggies, plus shrimp AND chicken. So basically it’s the best of all worlds. I like my rice a little spicy so I usually put some hot chili oil on it, but that’s just a personal preference and I didn’t include that in the recipe here. This Chicken Fried Rice recipe is so easy! There’s no reason to head out to a restaurant for great fried rice anymore, you can whip up the perfect side dish for your take-out-fake-out meal in just a few minutes at home! Hungry for more?
