RESTAURANT QUALITY CHINESE CHICKEN FRIED RICE
I created this recipe out of desperation last night when it was getting late and everyone was HUNGRY now, so I call it one of my Desperation Dinners! It is really pretty and tastes as good as something you order in a restaurant! It was very cheap to make. You buy the chicken on sale and boil it and shred it and put in freezer in baggies till you need it and it's all ready to use in recipes at last minute! You can get the canned water chestnuts for $1 or less on sale and keep on hand in pantry! Hope you like this as much as we do!

CHINESE RESTAURANT FRIED RICE
Chinese fried rice that tastes just like in the Chinese restaurants. I have tried many recipes and was never able to make it taste like in the restaurants until I met someone who was a chef in a Chinese restaurant and let me in on the secrets.

Steps:
- Cook your rice (I use a rice cooker). You want it a bit on the crunchy side, so even though you might want to add more water, DON'T.
- Let your rice cool completely (I spread it out on a baking sheet and put it in the freezer if I'm in a hurry). You can even cook your rice the night before and let cool in the fridge.
- Heat a wok over high heat with 1 tbs. of oil. Add eggs and scramble until cooked. Add ham and peas and fry for about a minute.(You can add or omit any veggie/meat combo you want.).
- Remove omelet from wok. Clean the wok out a bit so the leftover egg doesn't burn while you're heating up your wok and oil again.
- Add remaining oil to the wok and heat over high heat until it is very hot. Add your cold rice to the wok and stir to coat every grain. (You can add some more oil if you want; it just depends on how greasy you like it.).
- Add your chicken stock to the rice; do it a little bit at a time to give the rice a chance to soak up the liquid. I'm not sure exactly the amount of stock to be added; I eyeball it because it seems to change every time. Basically, you want the rice to soak up the flavor, but you don't want to put in too much as it will end up quite sticky.
- Stir fry for a while, stirring constantly until there is no liquid left, then chop up your omelet and add it, along with the soy sauce and salt. Stir. You can add more or less soy sauce and salt according to your taste. NOTE: In this case, the salt is simply to enhance the flavor of the dish, not to make it salty. And remember that soy sauce is salty in itself--unless you use the salt-free or low-salt type. (It is an MSG substitute.).
- Enjoy! It's the best homemade fried rice you'll ever make!
CHICKEN FRIED RICE - RESTAURANT STYLE
I was working in a great little chinese restaurant in Acworth, GA for over a year. Here's the recipe. You can substitute the meat for shrimp, beef flank steak, pork loin or add all three for "House Special" fried rice. For Hawaiian Fried Rice, use good quality ham and diced pineapple!

Steps:
- Wash rice and cook with a couple pinches of salt. Then, put it on a plate and cover with saran wrap and allow to cool in fridge for at least 1 hour.
- Slice the chicken to the size of 3 quarter dollars put together, or cut to your preference. Partially freeze the meat to make meat easier to cut small.
- Put the chicken in a small bowl. Add the cornstarch, garlic powder, 1/2 the salt, 1/2 the sugar, 1/2 the white pepper, 1/2 the MSG and 2 teaspoons of water. Mix by hand to coat the meat. This step keeps the meat juicy while cooking in hot oil.
- Heat 3 tablespoons oil in your wok at 80% heat. Add the chicken and cook until white. Drain off the oil and set meat aside.
- Add the remaining tablespoon of oil to the wok. Heat to 60% heat and add the beaten egg. Allow the egg to cook before stirring it. Stirring the egg while it is setting will make the egg more fluffy, like scrambled eggs.
- Turn the heat up to 80% and add the onion. Cook for 30 seconds and then add the cooled rice. Keep flipping or turning the rice over to heat it evenly in the pan for 1 minute.
- Add the remaining salt, sugar, white pepper, and MSG. Continue turning the rice for another minute.
- Add the chicken, oyster sauce, soy sauce, and peas and carrots. Continue turning and flipping for 3 minutes.

Tips:
- Use high-quality ingredients: Fresh, flavorful ingredients will make a big difference in the final dish. Use the best quality chicken, rice, vegetables, and sauces that you can find.
- Cook the rice properly: The rice should be cooked until it is tender but still has a slight bite to it. Don't overcook the rice, or it will become mushy.
- Use a well-seasoned wok: A well-seasoned wok will help to prevent the rice and vegetables from sticking. If you don't have a wok, you can use a large skillet or sauté pan.
- Add the ingredients in the correct order: The order in which you add the ingredients is important. First, cook the chicken, then the vegetables, then the rice. Finally, add the eggs and sauces.
- Stir-fry the rice over high heat: This will help to create a nice, even sear on the rice and vegetables. Don't be afraid to toss the rice around in the wok or pan.
- Don't overcrowd the wok or pan: If you overcrowd the wok or pan, the rice and vegetables will not cook evenly. Cook the rice in batches if necessary.
- Season the rice to taste: Add salt, pepper, and other seasonings to taste. You can also add a squeeze of lemon juice or a splash of soy sauce for extra flavor.
Conclusion:
Chinese chicken fried rice is a delicious and easy-to-make dish that is perfect for a quick and easy meal. By following these tips, you can make restaurant-quality Chinese chicken fried rice at home. So next time you're craving Chinese food, give this recipe a try!
