Chicken Fried Rice with Egg
If you have leftover chicken, leftover rice and some vegetables, you can make this tasty Chinese chicken recipe. Even if you do not have leftovers, this one is well worth making from scratch because it is still quick. It is a good idea to taste as you go because soy sauce and oyster sauce are very salty, so you will not want to add too much. It is easier to add more saltiness that to tone down an over-salted egg fried rice recipe.
This is a simple dish to throw together if you want to make something hot, filling, and quick and leave the slow crockpot chicken recipes, elaborate smoked chicken recipes and other breast chicken recipes for another time. Feel free to add any other vegetables that need using up, such as corn kernels, zucchini, or cauliflower. Chop the vegetable pieces quite small so they do not take long to become tender.
You can serve this dish as it is, because it makes a satisfying lunch or dinner. Alternatively, you might want to serve a few different dishes; maybe a noodle dish and a mixed vegetable dish on the side would also be good, or you could make a beef or pork recipe. Chicken fried rice with egg is a very popular Chinese meal and its simplicity is one of the best things about this recipe, as well as its perfectly balanced flavor. Fans of Chinese food will not be able to help being impressed with your culinary talents if you cook this. It is way fresher and nicer than anything you can get from the local Chinese takeout.
