Chicken Fried Rice

This fried rice is one of my new favorite dinners.  It doesn't have that greasy take-out taste that most Chinese places have.  This is a definite must try!

What you need:

3 Tbs butter- divided

1 cup chicken/ham

2 cups rice

1/2 cup chopped carrots

1/2 cup chopped onion

1/2 cup frozen peas

1/2 cup chopped green onion

1 clove chopped garlic

1 egg

4-5 tbs soy sauce

1 tsp seasme seeds

- Cook rice and let it chill in the fridge for a couple of hours. (you don't have to chill the rice, but it taste better and doesn't stick as much)

- Cook chicken or ham and set aside.

- Once rice is ready, melt a Tbs of butter in a large skillet.  Add carrots, onions, peas, garlic, salt and pepper.  Sauté for 5 minutes over high heat.  

- Turn heat to medium/high.  Push the vegetables to one side of the skillet and add a Tbs of butter and egg on the other side.  Scramble the egg and mix it in with the rest of the vegetables.

- Add last Tbs of butter and the rice, soy sauce and sesame seeds.  Stir for 3 minutes.

- Serve and enjoy!
