I LOVE fried rice! That is the main reason I ever agree to going out for Chinese food, the fried rice. Add a little soy sauce and it is so delicious. Here are the different varieties of fried rice that I have made:
I have to say when I searched this blog for fried rice recipes, I thought a would find one or two, not five. I was shocked to find 5, I guess it is time to remake some of these fried rice recipes that I have forgotten about.
When making fried rice the typically rice to use is white, but I rarely use white rice and always use brown rice instead. For the chicken you have several options, you can use leftover fried chicken or you can bake some frozen crispy chicken. I have never made fried chicken and don't plan on starting, plus I never buy fried chicken, but I do buy crispy frozen chicken and that is what I used for this recipe. Mine happened to be panko crusted chicken, which I buy at Costco.
This newest version of fried rice is amazing! The crispy chicken adds a bit of crunch to the fried rice, making it so yummy!
