If there are picky eaters in your household, this dish is perfect for you! I call this “kid’s favorite Chinese fried rice” because my boys are so particular with the food they’ll eat but they will both eat this all day long!
During this quarantine period, like you, I’ve been cooking a ton! This Chinese fried rice is a dish I make a few times a week. It is easy, tasty, and can be enjoyed as a full meal or as a side dish. Sometimes I serve it plain, and other times I add beef or chicken. I’ve added steak, chicken, ground beef… it all tastes good mixed in with the fried rice!
One note about rice: I discovered this brand of rice and can’t believe how much better it tastes compared to all the other rice I’ve had in my life! I got mine at the Korean grocery store and don’t remember how much I paid for it, but it looks expensive on Amazon. It is THE BEST RICE I’ve ever tasted though.
Jump to the recipe below for the rest of the steps. It’s so easy, guys. And my kids LOVE IT.
This rice is just as delicious without anything other than egg for your protein. Enjoy!
