Chicken Fried Rice


What you need,

3 cups cooked rice
2 cups cooked chicken, diced (turkey or ham is tasty too!)
½ cup frozen peas
½ cup carrots, diced
1 small onion, diced
2 cloves garlic, minced
2 eggs
1 can water chestnuts (optional, but I love the crunchy texture!)
1 tbsp. sesame oil
1 tbsp. vegetable oil
¼ cup soy sauce

In a large sauté pan heat the sesame and vegetable oil over medium high heat. Saute the onion, carrot, peas and garlic for 3-4 minutes until they start to soften.
Make a space in the centre and cook the eggs, scrambling them as they cook. Mix the eggs into the veggies. Add in the rice, chicken and water chestnuts. Stir in the soy sauce and cook to heat through, about 5 minutes.
