Happy Chinese New Year 2013!

February 8, 2013 Leave a Comment

chinese new year 2013

I know many will be ordering in a great selection of dishes to celebrate the Chinese New Year on Sunday or dining at the local Chinese restaurant. However, there are some dishes that can be made faster at home than any takeaway delivery and have the virtue of being endlessly versatile. This is one such dish….Chicken and Egg Fried Rice.

 

It’s versatile because you can add any number of ingredients to it to suit your taste and tolerability. I often substitute the chicken for prawns/shrimp, or add diced ham or shredded spring onions/scallions for colour and variety. It is also possible to make this recipe with ‘cauliflower rice’ instead of the traditional type (simply steam or microwave cauliflower until tender-crisp, drain and chop in a food processor until it resembles rice grains)…a perfect alternative for those who don’t tolerate rice too well after weight-loss surgery.

 

Whatever variation you choose to cook enjoy this Chinese New Year….The Year of the Snake!
