asian every day.

that's what dan and i decided last night. we could eat fried rice or anything chinese every day and not get tired of it. our hearts would freak out from all the sodium but it's still so good! last night i made chicken fried rice with a recipe i got off a printed coupon for kikkoman soy sauce ($1/any 1 kikkoman product).

what you'll need:
1 tbsp vegetable oil (i used canola)
2 eggs lightly beaten (i left the eggs out because mine were expired and i don't really like egg in fried rice)
1/4 cup low sodium chicken broth (i used more like half a 14.5oz can)
1 cup frozen stir fry veggies, thawed
2 tbsp low sodium soy sauce
2 cups minute white rice, uncooked (i used uncle ben's fast and natural instant brown rice)
1/2 cup water
2 cups cooked chicken, chopped

heat the oil in a large skillet over medium heat. add the rice and brown slightly (about 3 minutes). add eggs; scramble until throughly cooked. add broth, vegetables, chicken, water, and soy sauce; bring to boil. remove from heat and let stand 5 minutes.

my alterations: since i didn't use minute rice, i add more chicken broth and added some water and let it simmer about 10 minutes, like you're making rice a roni.

sorry i don't have a pic to post of it. but it was really good. :)
