Chicken Fried Rice


Source: Bella's Bistro

I got this recipe from a fellow May Nestie. Some of her stuff is "out there" for H and I, but this recipe was right up our alley.

Ingredients
  • 4C Cold prepared rice, loosened/crumbled (used brown rice)
  • 4T Olive Oil
  • 1Lb. Chicken, chopped into bite size pieces
  • 1 Small White Onion
  • 2C Veggies of your Choice (used a frozen stir fry veggie medley)
  • 1t Sriracha Sauce (omitted)
  • 3-4T Low Sodium Soy Sauce
  • 3/4t Garlic Powder
  • 2 Eggs, beaten (used 3)
  • 3 Scallions, trimmed and chopped

Preparation
  • In a hot non-stick wok, heat 1 Tbsp oil. Over medium-high heat, add onions and veggies and saute until softened.
  • Add chicken and cook until mostly done (will still be a little pink the middle). This way, you don’t overcook the chicken.
  • Add Siracha sauce to season veggies.
  • Add crumbled rice and drizzle with remaining oil and soy sauce. Add garlic powder.
  • Stir rice until even in color and all rice has soy sauce on it.
  • Stir occasionally, while allowing rice to warm up.
  • Make a well in the middle of your wok and pour in beaten eggs, scrambling the eggs while incorporating more and more rice.
  • Add chopped green onions. Continue to heat rice until egg is fully cooked.
  • Season with salt & pepper as desired.
Next Time- This turned out kinda blah. So after speaking to Bella, we agreed that it is most likely a combination of omitting the Sriracha Sauce and using brown rice. So I'm not writing this recipe off, I'll just have to stick closer to the original recipe.
