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:
    1. Cook two cups of white rice according to directions. Transfer to bowl and chill.
    2. 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)
    3. Add rice and incorporate. Add soy sauce and stir to combine and heat through.
    4. In a separate saucepan, scramble eggs and add to wok. Serve.
