Ingredients:

  • 1 Cup of uncooked Jasmine Rice
  • 2 Cups of water
  • 1/4 tsp salt

 

  • 1 chicken breast
  • 1 small white onion (chopped)
  • 1 rib of Celery (chopped into pea sized pieces)
  • 1 large Carrots (chopped into pea sized pieces)
  • 1 cup of frozen Peas
  • 2 eggs
  • 2-4 Tbsp Soy Sauce
  • 2 Tbsp Chopped green onions (optional)

Directions:

  1. Add rice, water, and salt into a rice cooker (if you do not have a rice cooker; go get one); cook rice, set aside (this can be done ahead of time to save time).
  2. Cook and shred the chicken, set aside.
  3. Heat a large non stick pan or wok, add 4 tbsp of canola or sesame oil; add celery, carrots, and peas.  Cook on Med-high heat until carrots are half cooked.  Push everything to one side of the wok, break in eggs to empty side of wok and scramble, cook egg fully.  Add pre-cooked rice and mix everything together, add soy sauce and add chopped green onions if desired, mix everything well and fry for a few minutes (this will dry out the rice a little).
  4. Serve with your favourite Chinese main course (Ginger beef, sesame chicken, etc).
