Comfort Food.

Thanks for all the get well messages yesterday.

Still suffering with a cold today but feeling some what better than I was.

I had a 2nd interview today for an internal role I have applied for - it all went very well and now I have to decide if I actually want it or not. I think it's a No but going to do a list this weekend.

So - decided that it was definitely an evening for comfort food. I wasn't really in the mood to cook but didn't fancy a take away so rustled up my chicken fried rice dish. Very tasty if I do say so myself and easy peasy.

Here it is if anyone feeling hungry....


Ingredients:

4 cups cold cooked rice
8 ounces cooked chicken (or substitute cooked turkey, etc.), chopped
2 eggs (more if desired)
1/2 cup green peas
1 medium onion, diced
1 green onion, diced
Seasonings (add according to taste):
Light Soy Sauce
Oyster sauce
Salt
Pepper
Oil for stir-frying, as needed

Preparation:

Beat the eggs lightly with chopsticks, add a dash of salt (Add a bit of oyster sauce if desired).

Chop the chicken meat and dice the onion and green onion.

Heat wok and add oil. When oil is ready, pour 1/2 of the egg mixture into the wok and cook over medium heat, turning over once. Cook the other half the same way. Cut the egg into thin strips, and save for later.

Stir-fry the onion on high heat for a few moments, remove and set aside. Do the same for the green peas.

Add oil, turn down the heat to medium and stir-fry the rice. Add the soy sauce, salt, pepper and oyster sauce. Add the chicken, onion and green peas and combine thoroughly. Serve chicken fried rice with the strips of egg on top and the green onion as a garnish. (Alternately, you can mix the green onion and egg in with the other ingredients).
