Chicken Fried Rice is easy to make and delicious!

After I posted a Pantry list yesterday, I made this, and remembered items I failed to include. So I’ll say here that every time I think of something to add to the Pantry or Fridge, I’ll just edit those lists. 

Fried Rice

1-2 tbsp. cooking oil
1 tbsp. chopped ginger
1 tbsp. chopped garlic
1 bunch chopped green onions (separate the white from green)
¼ chopped red bell pepper
2 tsp. rice wine vinegar
1 ½ tbsp. soy sauce
1 dash sesame oil
1 large cooked chopped chicken breast
2 c cooked rice
1-2 tbsp. Hoisin Sauce
3 large eggs

Optional: 1 jalapeno pepper or serrano pepper and cilantro

Finely chop ginger and garlic together in a food processor. Heat oil in a large nonstick sauté skillet. This time I used bacon grease left over from the morning, and it might well have made the best batch ever! When oil is hot, add ginger, garlic, bell pepper, and the white part of the green onions. Sauté until fragrant. Add the rice wine vinegar, soy sauce, and chicken. Reduce liquids until veggies are almost dry. Add the rice and cook, stirring constantly until the rice is very hot. Add the Hoisin and combine completely with the rice. Cook until the rice begins to stick to the bottom of the pan. Push the rice to one side of the pan. Add the three eggs and scramble them hard, then mix the rice and eggs together, adding the green onion tops last. Serve with sliced peppers and cilantro.
