Chicken Fried Rice

Authentic Chinese fried rice is so easy to make….but so easy to get wrong. Oftentimes, those attempting fried rice without learning just a couple simple tricks will end up with a goopy, gluey, heavy mess. Here are the techniques for a restaurant-worthy, Chinese mom-approved, Chicken Fried Rice. If you don’t have a wok, use a large saute pan (like a frying pan, but with high sides) or even a large dutch oven. You need the high sides in a stir fry – so that ingredients don’t spill out as you toss. Feel free to substitute the chicken with pork, turkey or beef.
