Spicy Chicken Fried Rice with Peanuts

This dish is spicy, sweet, crunchy and completely delicious. And the fact that it comes together fairly easily makes it even better.

Sometimes I have trouble finding fresh beans sprouts. In that case I use canned. I used the whole can, and drain ti well. I definitely recommend the fresh ones, but the canned variety will work.
