The Best Chinese Fried Rice with Chicken. Great Asian dish and better than takeout! www.wishesndishes.com
 

Chinese Fried Rice…something I’ve been wanting to make well for a long time now.  Mr. Wishes and I are big fried rice fans.  It’s one of our favorite things to eat anytime we are dining at an Asian restaurant.  I don’t even care so much about any of the other food…as long as the fried rice is good then I’m happy! We don’t eat at Chinese food restaurants often nor do we order Chinese take-out on a regular basis, so it was absolutely necessary for me to make a “just as good as take-out” fried rice recipe so that I can enjoy it anytime, anyday!  This came out perfect – not too greasy, not too salty, and full of flavor.

I know that people have different views on what traditional or authentic Chinese fried rice is and should be, but this is my own take on it and the way I prefer it.  You can adapt it to your liking!  This was so easy to make, very enjoyable, tasty, and there was not a scrap left!  I recommend it to anyone craving some good Chinese fried rice.  It’s also a great way to use up leftover rice and/or chicken!
