Please share your favorite Chinese fried rice recipe?!
There are so many recipes out there, can you please share your favorite one that is tried and true? It doesn't have to be restaurant style, I would just like something authentic.
Thanks :)
Answers: Hi. I love making fried rice and do a lot of Thai versions, but I'd like to try a Chinese one for a change.

Best Ever Chinese Fried Rice
You'll need:
Half a cooking onion, minced
A couple sprigs of green onion, minced
Cooked shrimp, marinated with:
sesame oil, soy sauce, sugar, salt, garlic powder (or Five-Spice Chinese Blend seasoning)
4 cups cooked long grain jasmine or short grain rice, COLD (this is important!)
1 tbsp of oil
1/2 cup thawed, frozen peas and carrots, well-drained
2 eggs, beaten with some white pepper and salt
To taste: salt, sugar, soy sauce
1/4 cup chopped green onions (scallions)
Utensils:
a non-stick pan or a wok
spatula
DIRECTIONS:
1. Heat up the oil in your wok/non-stick pan - put your stove on the highest heat possible. When it gets pretty hot, throw in your chopped cooking onion, which should be sizzling and the peas and carrots. Stir around with a spatula until the onions are translucent.
2. Throw in your marinated shrimp. Stir around for about 45 seconds.
3. Throw your rice into the pan, and stir that concoction around so there's an even distribution of shrimp and onion.
4. Crack in your eggs, and stir like crazy. The goal is to not have any egg chunks.
5. Put in a tiny pinch of salt and sugar.
6. Pour in some soy sauce, just enough so the rice is sort of a golden brown color. If it's dark brown, you've put in too much. Stir so that rice is an even color throughout.
7. Throw in green onions, toss around so green onion is no longer raw. Serve immediately. If you're feeling exceedingly experimental, you might want to try throwing in some Thai basil, or dill. Enjoy!
