Chinese chicken fried rice take-out recipe?!


Question: My local Chinese take-out has a dry yellow rice with just chicken, onion, peas, carrots, and no egg. I can't seem to find any recipes that are similar. Does this ring a bell for anyone? Any Chinese restaurant owners out there that have a perfect recipe?

It sounds like you just take a fried rice recipe and make it all up without the egg.

6 oz. cooked diced chicken
1/4 c. low sodium chicken broth or bouillon
1 1/2 tbsp. low sodium teriyaki sauce
1 tsp. grated fresh ginger root
Pinch white pepper
2 tsp. vegetable oil
1/2 c. diced onion
1/2 c. shredded carrot
1 1/2 c. cooked white rice
1/2 c. frozen peas

In small bowl, combine chicken, 2 tablespoon water, chicken broth, teriyaki sauce, ginger and pepper. Set aside. In large nonstick skillet, heat 1 tablespoon oil. Stir in rice and peas. Cook until rice begins to brown. Add chicken mixture. Cook 5 minutes longer until heated through. 4 servings.

here's a vid on how to make it. the video uses ham and egg, but you can substitute the ham for chicken, and skip the egg. video from a chinese restaurant, and professional cook.

also make sure to use rice that is a day old stored in the fridge (day old rice is drier, so your fried rice doesn't become mushy)

Just omit the eggs---

INGREDIENTS
1/2 tablespoon sesame oil
1 onion
1 1/2 pounds cooked, cubed chicken meat
2 tablespoons soy sauce
2 large carrots, diced
2 stalks celery, chopped
1 large red bell pepper, diced
3/4 cup fresh pea pods, halved
1/2 large green bell pepper, diced
6 cups cooked white rice
2 eggs
1/3 cup soy sauce

DIRECTIONS
Heat oil in a large skillet over medium heat. Add onion and saute until soft, then add chicken and 2 tablespoons soy sauce and stir-fry for 5 to 6 minutes.
Stir in carrots, celery, red bell pepper, pea pods and green bell pepper and stir-fry another 5 minutes. Then add rice and stir thoroughly.
Finally, stir in scrambled eggs and 1/3 cup soy sauce, heat through and serve hot.

Chicken Fried Rice

INGREDIENTS:
3 cups cooked rice (preferably several days old)
1 cup cooked chicken or turkey, cut into bite-size pieces, OR 1 cup raw chicken
4 Tbsp. chicken stock
2 cloves garlic, finely sliced or pressed
1/2 minced green or red chili for medium-spiced rice, OR 1-2 whole minced chilies for "hot" (omit chilli for mild)
2 Tbsp. fish sauce
3 Tbsp. peanut oil, or other good quality nut/vegetable oil
1/2 cup frozen peas
1 egg
3 spring onions, finely sliced
1/2 cup fresh coriander or basil
PREPARATION:
1. Prepare the cold rice by mixing in 1 Tbsp. of the oil. Stir well, separating the rice grains with your fingers to remove clumps.
2. Place remaining oil in a deep frying pan or wok. Add garlic and chili.
Stir-fry over medium-high heat until fragrant (30 seconds to 1 minute).
3. Add chicken (or turkey) and 2 Tbsp. stock. Stir-fry enough to thoroughly warm the meat, if cooked. If the chicken is raw, stir fry until cooked (2-5 minutes). Add more stock, as necessary, to prevent the pan from becoming overly dry.

5. Using a wooden spoon or spatula, push ingredients aside and crack egg into the wok/pan. Stir quickly to cook and break up the egg (like making scrambled eggs).

7. When egg is cooked and most of the broth/liquid has been absorbed, add the rice plus fish sauce. Stir fry, keeping the heat medium-high. Do not add any more broth/liquid at this point, or your rice will become soggy.

8. Add frozen peas and continue to stir-fry another 1-2 minutes, or until you can hear the rice "popping". Cooking Tip: It's important to keep the wok and rice dry, but if you find the rice is sticking, you can add a little more oil - this will make the rice "shine", like restaurant quality fried rice.

9. Do a taste-test for saltiness. If not salty enough, add a sprinkling of salt. (If it happens to be too salty for your taste, add up to 1 Tbsp. lime juice.)

10. Sprinkle with spring onion, plus coriander or basil, and serve hot from the wok/pan. Enjoy!
