Reviewed on Oct. 10, 2008 by MaryTee    This is a good base recipe. However, with my in-laws being Chinese and owning a Chinese/Vietnamese Restaurant for a few years, I have picked up a few tips that I thought I would share with you. I cubed 3 uncooked chicken breast into little pieces and seasoned it with salt, pepper, garlic powder, onion powder, and a tablespoon of oyster sauce (found in the international aisle of your local supermarket--and don't worry, it doesn't taste like oysters). Heat up 2 TBS of butter with 1 TBS of sesame oil, then add 3 cloves of minced garlic with the chicken. Cooked until no longer pink, then I add about 4 sticks of thinly sliced Chinese sausage (found in asian markets). Cook for 1-2 minutes. Add 4 scrambled eggs to the meat. Cook for 3-4 minutes, then add a 16oz bag of frozen peas/carrots mixture. I mix in about 7 cups of cooked Jasmine rice (must be cold). Add soy sauce (about 1/4 Cup) and stir fry until light golden brown. Stir in chopped green onions and sprinkle in black pepper to taste. Voila, authentic Chinese Fried Rice in about 15 mins. Hope this helps... ENJOY! Was this review helpful? [ YES ]

No, this is not an "authentic" recipe, but knowing that, it still is pretty good. I love Asian-flair foods while my boyfriend and roommate do not! This was a good compromise because both of them repeatedly stated that this was good. So, for those who eat this type of food alot, it may not suit your tastes but for those that are "new" to this type of food, would likely enjoy this recipe. Plus, you can add whatever veggies you prefer. Was this review helpful? [ YES ]
