Chinese Fried Rice

Today I made Chinese Fried Rice for dinner.  I used chicken breast strips, the same ones I used for the BBQ Chicken Soft Tacos.  I seasoned with lemon pepper seasoning, but salt will work too.  This tasted pretty delicious.  It wasn't too greasy nor too salty like from some restaurants.  Truthfully, it could have used a little more salt, according to my housemate, who loves highly seasoned foods.  I thought it was just right, but will agree that I could have added a just a little more soy sauce.

A little FACT: There are people who are either super tasters, normal tasters, or non-tasters.  Super tasters, aka me, have sensitive taste buds.  We may not like drinking coffee because it is too bitter or eating spicy foods because it is too spicy.  Juice and other sweets may taste too sweet to our taste buds.  I actually dilute my juices with water so it's not too sweet.  Non-tasters, like my housemate, can handle bitter foods and spicy foods pretty well.  They typically prefer foods with higher seasoning and sweeter drinks and desserts.  Normal tasters are somewhere in between.  What do you think you are?

Anyways, back to my recipe.  Below is the directions and ingredients I used to make this delicious fried rice.

Serves ~ 4 (actually served only 2 for me; Housemate had a big appetite)

Cooked rice (Brown or White works):
1 cup rice
1 3/4 cups water
Chinese fried rice:
1 egg, beaten
~1 tablespoon oil
1/2 cup diced meat cooked in ~ 1 tablespoon oil (with lemon pepper seasoning or other)
1-3 tablespoons oil
3 cups cold cooked rice
2 tablespoons soy sauce - I think I only used 1 tablespoon.
~1/2 teaspoon lemon pepper seasoning or salt
1 cup frozen peas and carrots, cooked
1 green onion, chopped

Cook Rice (if you do not have a rice cooker follow these directions):
Wash rice thoroughly in cold water several times until water is clear.  Add water and bring to a boil.  Reduce heat and cook 15 minutes. Afterwards, cool rice completely; preferable refrigerating overnight.

Chinese Fried Rice:
Fry beaten egg like a tortilla in <1 tbsp of oil and remove from wok.  Add a pinch of seasoning or salt.  Cut into strips.  Cook seasoned meat in ~1 tbsp of oil and remove from wok.  Cut into pieces if not already cut.  Add 1-3 tbsp of oil to wok.  Add cold rice into wok by small clumps and stir-fry until thoroughly heated.  Add soy sauce by dribbling over rice, mix well, then add lemon pepper or salt.  Add the cooked eggs, meat, peas, carrots and green onions.  Enjoy!

On a side note: I played Mah Jong today. I just realized I had a pretty Asian night.  haha.
