Chicken Fried Rice



Fried rice is a quick cooking dish that is great for left overs. Make sure everything is cut up and prepared before you start cooking because everything happens really fast. I love eating it because you feel full and it's relatively healthy.

Ingredients:

1 - 2 green onions, if you have them
1 large eggs
Salt and Pepper to taste
2 tablespoons oil for stir-frying, or as needed
2 cups cold cooked rice
1 - 2 tablespoons light soy sauce or oyster sauce
1 cooked chicken piece like thigh or breast cut into bite size pieces

Directions:

1. Wash and finely chop the green onion. Lightly beat the eggs with the salt and pepper. Cut up chicken.

2. Heat a wok or frying pan and add 1 tablespoon of oil. When the oil is hot, add the eggs. Cook, stirring, until they are lightly scrambled but not too dry. Remove the eggs and clean out the pan.

3. Add 1 tablespoon of oil. Add the rice. Stir-fry for a minute, using chopsticks or a wooden spoon to break it apart. Add chicken pieces and cook for another minutes. Stir in the soy sauce or oyster sauce as desired.

4. When the rice is heated through, add the scrambled egg back into the pan. Mix thoroughly. Stir in the green onion. Serve hot.
