I must confess with rice and chicken my first priority is to ensure nobody gets food poisoning! I’m glad you’ve come up with a good solution on how to improve it for your tastes (and quite probably a bunch of other people too)…I’d love to know how that works out! Alternatively leave your rice to cool to room temperature, then put it in a plastic box in the fridge until you need it. Learn how your comment data is processed.
Hi there – the answer is 2½ cups! Sorry! You are definitely not the only one…my chicken leftovers recipes are always super popular! If you notice just below the ingredient list I include an easy toggle between the UK/European metric system and the US customary measurements – all you need to do is click ‘US customary’ and you’ll get all the measurements in the system you prefer. A hit with my boys, who hate rice dishes but loved this meal, as did my hubby. Put the bottles of soy sauce and sesame oil on the table for everyone to help themselves to extra, if needed. This recipe makes good use of leftovers, turning them into a really easy, family friendly weeknight dinner. I love egg fried rice and knowing exactly what you put in it is great. This recipe is naturally dairy free and if you make sure you use gluten free soy sauce (tamari), it is gluten free too. No leftover chicken? This is definitely something I need to try out on Master Spice for lunch one day.
No problem. Eb x, I haven’t made my own egg fried rice for ages! Eb , Your email address will not be published. Me, me, me!! Spanish Style Red Wine, Borlotti Bean and Lamb Shank Casserole. But inevitably with a roast chicken there’s always some leftovers (especially if you are like me and deliberately create some leftovers!) Your email address will not be published. BUT making your own egg friend rice is much tastier of course xx, Thanks Jenny – yes, it’s the perfect after clubs recipe, isn’t it?

Leftovers for lunch tomorrow too! During the summer holidays, my mum would take me to work with her and most days, we’d have Vietnamese food for lunch, egg fried rice always one of the things we’d eat. Thanks Michelle!

Heat very little oil in a medium frying pan over medium heat and make an omelette using half the beaten eggs. I’m still working through my recipes to get the all done, but I’ve done over half my recipes now! And also I like my rice really crispy when I make egg fried rice which is why I tend to cook it a little longer and over a reasonably high heat – I just love those little crispy bits!! Meanwhile crack the eggs into a large mug or small jug and whisk together lightly with a fork. To make this meal a little healthier I have used brown rice, but it will work just as well if you use white rice. I love fried rice and this tastes absolutely delicious! Cynthia, Thanks so much for this lovely comment Cynthia! I was actually planning to make fried rice tonight for dinner. I had left overs from a Costco chicken, followed the basic rules of your recipe and and had a wonderful, flavorful dinner tonight and plenty for tomorrow. But we all have different tastes, hey? Love the sound of your adaptations too.
