There are times in life when a woman needs to take action. The Fried Rice Demon was winning. Betty fought back. Betty learned how to make Chicken Fried Rice!

Ingredients for Chicken Fried Rice:

1 cup Jasmine white rice
2 green onions (aka spring onions, diced)
1/3 cup medium sweet white onion (chopped)
1 small carrot (diced)
2 eggs
2-3 cloves garlic (minced)
3/4 – 1 cup chopped chicken
1/4 - 1/2 cup soy sauce (to taste)
canola oil
salt & pepper

Hi-yah!

Prepare one cup Jasmine white rice. That’s 3 cups cooked white rice, yo.
Allow the rice chill in the refrigerator before you use it.

Chop green onions, white onion, carrot and garlic. Shred or chop grilled chicken, set aside.

Saute vegetables over medium heat (in your biggest, flattest skillet) with a dash of salt and a crack of pepper in 1 tsp canola oil until tender and golden. Remove from heat.

Cook eggs in 1 tsp of canola oil. Start with a fry and end with a scramble. Don’t forget the salt and pepper. Remove from heat.

Add 1 tbsp canola oil to medium-high heat pan. Add rice to pan in small batches. Toss while cooking.
The rice will not brown, per se, but begin to get a little color around the edges.

Then, prepare to kick some serious Fried Rice Demon butt!

With all of your ingredients prepared and ready to go…

Sprinkle low-sodium soy sauce over frying rice. Toss.
Add a small amount of butter. (Yes, butter! Haven’t you ever been to Benihana?) Betty uses a scant tablespoon of butter. Toss.

Add sauteed vegetable mixture and eggs. Toss.
Lower heat to medium-low and add chicken, garlic and finish of soy sauce.

For an added treat serve with some steamed broccoli.

For even more fun serve with a Chinese beer. A sprinkling of toasted sesame seeds and a dash of Sriracha never hurt either!
