Chicken Fried Rice
Enjoy this homemade version of a chinese takeout favourite. This recipe is easily adaptable-- try omitting chicken for a vegetarian version, trade out the white for brown rice or add shrimp or any type of seafood!
- 5 ribs of celery, chopped
- 1 large onion, diced
- 3 cloves garlic, crushed
- 6 or 7 mushrooms, chopped
- 2 chicken breasts, sliced into 1/2" long slices
- 2 cups of white rice, cooked, cooled
- 1/4 cup soy sauce
- 2 eggs, beaten
- 2 tablespoons olive oil
Directions:
- Cook two cups of white rice according to directions. Transfer to bowl and chill.
- Heat olive oil in wok on high and add garlic. Cook until fragrant. Add chicken. Cook 4-5 minutes until all sides are mostly white. Add celery, onions and mushrooms and continue cooking until softened (5-8 minutes)
- Add rice and incorporate. Add soy sauce and stir to combine and heat through.
- In a separate saucepan, scramble eggs and add to wok. Serve.
I really like this recipe. I hadn't made fried rice before and loved how the flavours of the celery came through so strongly! And it tastes so light and healthy.
ReplyDeleteI would cut the chicken a little smaller next time. :)
