Chinese Chicken Fried Rice II is a simple, quick fried rice recipe that the whole family liked. I omitted the chicken, and added shrimp and frozen peas. Used it as a side dish to sweet and sour chicken. I will definitely use this one again. from Lil Mermaid of Fort Worth, Texas, USA

Ingredients

1 egg

1 onion, chopped

1 teaspoon ground black pepper

1 cup cooked, chopped chicken meat

1 tablespoon water

1 tablespoon butter

1 tablespoon vegetable oil

2 tablespoons soy sauce

2 cups cooked white rice, cold

Method:

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.

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.

Notes and Tips:

I added some chopped up garlic to the onions as I sauteed them. Also I recommend using A LOT less pepper as it is Very spicy if you don't. You really don't have to put any pepper in if you don't want to. It's quite flavorful without it.
