Chicken Fried Rice

I love the “Chinese Food” of my youth. I suspect most Chinese mothers would cluck disapprovingly over the suggestion that the food I ate in “Chinese” restaurants when I grew up resembled anything they would serve their families. That being said, I still love it. So, when She Who Must Be Obeyed told me I had a couple of small chicken breasts that she wanted stir fried, I made Chicken Fried Rice like I used to get.

I started by cutting the chicken meat into cubes. I chopped the garlic and cut up the vegetables into chunks. The vegetables I had on hand were broccoli, carrots and peppers. Use whatever you have on hand. I had cooked the rice earlier.

I mixed the chicken stock, soy sauce, Hoisin, sherry and Sriracha sauce.

I preheated the oil in the wok until it started to smoke. I put the chicken in and stir fried until it was cooked through. I added the garlic and stir fried for another 30 seconds.

I added the vegetables and stir fried until they were cooked but still crisp.

I added the rice and liquid ingredients and stirred until the rice was heated through.

We served it with a fork but the rice in this is sticky enough to use chopsticks if you’d like.

The Verdict

This is tasty with a nice soy flavour, tender chicken and crispy vegetables. It is not fancy. It is not authentic. It just tastes good.
