Chinese Chicken Fried Rice

This is a basic and easy fried rice recipe. Makes a great meal with that left over rice (white or brown.)

You want to make your rice a day in advance and let it cool and dry out in the fridge. If you use brown rice you can use it the same day if need be, but spread it out and let it cool and dry out some first. There are a few prep steps but once you get the hang of it, getting it ready wont seem confusing. I prep everything and precook a few things.
One of the great things about fried rice is as you get the hang of it you might find you want more or less of certain things I put in mine. One of the things I don't  use is Toasted Sesame oil. I like it but prefer to not have it in my fried rice. You certainly can add a couple drops if you like.

Here's what I do:

4 Cup day old rice (white or brown)
1 1/2 Cups frozen mixed vegetables ( mine is corn, green beans and carrots). I put them in a strainer and run water over them to thaw and then let them drain till I need them.
12-15 chicken tenders cut into thin strips. I didn't think to weigh how much that is.
1 large onion chopped into 1 inch chunks
3 eggs beaten
4 green onions small chop
2-4 Tbl. regular soy sauce
1/8 + dark soy sauce
fish sauce
grape seed oil
corn starch
salt and pepper
sugar

You are going to start by marinating the chicken. Place chicken in a bowl and  add 1 Tbl. cornstarch, 1/4 tsp. sugar, 2 Tbl. regular soy sauce, 1 Tbl. grape seed oil, dash salt and pepper, 1/8 Cup of water. Mix all this together well getting the chicken evening coated. Set aside while you prep the rest of the meal.

In a bowl place the sliced onion, in another bowl place beaten eggs, veggies should be thawed and draining.

Place all this around the cooking station. Have the bowl with the cooked rice sitting there as well.
Heat wok and add 1 Tbl. oil and put the eggs in and scramble them. Rinse out the bowl you beat them in and dry it out so you can put them back in or get a clean bowl and when the eggs are done but still soft remove to a bowl. Next add another Tbl. of oil and add the thawed veggies and stir around to heat and dry them out some. Place back in strainer and let any liquid drain out ot them. Next add another Tbl. oil and fry the onion till it is crisp tender. You don't want to bite into a raw onion but we don't want them soggy either. Remove them to their bowl. Next add 2 Tbl. oil and when its hot add the chicken and stir fry it till it is cooked and remove to a clean bowl. Now we are ready to pull it all together.
In hot wok add 2 Tbl. oil and then the rice. Stir fry it till its heated and add the veggies. Stir around till the veggies and rice and mixed and veggies are hot. Now add the onion and chicken and mix and stir till everything blended and heated through. 
Add 2-4 Tbl. regular soy sauce, 1/8 Cup or a little more of dark soy sauce, little salt and pepper 1/2 tsp. fish sauce. Mix around and add the eggs in and mix and chop them into small pieces.Take off heat and add the green onion and stir to mix. Taste for seasoning.
Enjoy!
