The theme for week #2 is Chinese! Even though I always fail at making rice (I know it’s simple, but for some reason it never comes out right!), I decided to make chicken fried rice. I googled and found a recipe at allrecipes. A very simple recipe which I’ve included below.

Ingredients-egg, tablespoon water, tablespoon butter, tablespoon vegetable oil, 1 onion, chopped, 2 cups cooked white rice, cold 2 tablespoons soy sauce, 1 teaspoon ground black pepper, 1 cup cooked, chopped chicken meat

Directions

1.In a small bowl, beat egg with water. Melt butter in a large skillet over medium low heat. Add egg and leave flat for 1 to 2 minutes. Remove from skillet and cut into shreds.

2.Heat oil in same skillet; add onion and saute until soft. Then add rice, soy sauce, pepper and chicken. Stir fry together for about 5 minutes, then stir in egg. Serve hot.

This recipe makes about 3 servings. I loved it! I was shocked with how good it was. I didn’t think it would have nearly enough seasoning, but between the onions and soy sauce, it did! Super yummy and super easy! Thanks to the help of a rice cooker ;)
