Aprils Chicken Fried Rice Recipes

Steps:

• In a saucepan bring 4 cups water to a boil. Add rice and stir. Reduce heat, cover and simmer for 20 minutes.
• Heat butter in a large skillet over medium-high heat. Brown chicken in butter and season with salt to taste. Set chicken aside.
• Transfer cooked rice to the skillet in which the chicken was cooked, stirring to brown.
• In a separate skillet, scramble eggs.
• To the rice add chicken, mushrooms, green onions, eggs and soy sauce to taste.

Steps:

• Beat eggs with a whisk in a small bowl and season with salt and pepper, to taste. Heat very little oil in a medium frying pan over medium heat and make an omelette using half the beaten eggs. Turn out onto a plate to cool (do not fold omelette). Repeat process with remaining beaten eggs. Place 1 omelette on top of the other, fold and coarsely chop. Set aside.
• In a medium bowl, toss chicken strips with the sesame oil and season with salt and pepper, to taste. Heat 3 tablespoons vegetable oil over high heat in large frying pan or wok and stir-fry the prepared chicken strips until lightly golden, about 2 to 3 minutes. Add the onion and garlic and stir-fry for 1 to 2 minutes or until onion has softened. Add 2 tablespoons more vegetable oil and when hot, stir in the cooked rice and green onions, tossing and mixing thoroughly until very hot. Sprinkle with soy sauce and mix evenly. Remove from heat and stir in chopped cooked egg. If desired, garnish with additional sliced green onions.

Steps:

• Add the canola oil and 1 tablespoon sesame oil to a large nonstick saute pan. Whisk the eggs in a small bowl and season with the salt and some pepper; set aside. Add the ginger, carrot and garlic to the pan and cook until the vegetables have softened slightly, about 2 minutes. Add the rice, peas and the white and light green parts of the scallion. Then, add the soy sauce and remaining 1 tablespoon sesame oil and toss to coat. Press the rice mixture gently into the pan and fry until it begins to crisp on the bottom, 3 to 4 minutes. Add the eggs to the pan and cook, stirring gently, until just set, about 1 minute. Stir in the chicken and cook until heated through, about 1 minute. Transfer to a serving platter and sprinkle with the reserved scallions.

Steps:

• Heat a splash of oil in a large frying pan and tip in the beaten eggs. Swirl the pan to coat in a thin layer of egg and cook for a few mins until set. Tip onto a chopping board, roll up, slice thinly and set aside.
• Heat a little more oil, add the stir-fry veg, curry powder and sweetcorn with a splash of water. Cook for 1-2 mins until the veg starts to wilt, then tip into a bowl. Add the last of the oil to the pan, tip in the rice and chicken, mix well, then add the soy sauce, sweet chilli, ketchup, a splash of water and some black pepper.
• Finally, add the eggs and the veg, toss together and heat through until hot. Tip into bowls and serve immediately.

Steps:

• In a large bowl, combine the peas and carrots, rice, onion, parsley flakes and chicken.
• Mix well.
• Pour into 4 bags (enough serve 4) or less for family size.
• Seal, lable and freeze.
• Thaw bag of rice mixture.

• Add 1 Tbs oil to the empty side of the skillet and add the eggs.
• Cook and stir until eggs are thickened but still moist.
• Combine eggs with the rice mixture.
