Peking Chicken Fried Rice
Did you make that Peking Roast Chicken and only eat half of it? This is great way to turn leftover chicken and white rice into some of the best fried rice you’ll ever eat. This is the reason why I always make extra white rice. It is always better the next day turning it into fried rice. Using freshly steamed rice doesn’t work because it is too moist. By using it the next day, it has dried out a little bit, allowing it to absorb the sauce better.You can really use any type a vegetables or protein that you want when making this. Carrots, peas, bean sprouts, kale, and mushrooms are all great substitutes. My favorite way to finish this rice is to top it off with a fried egg per serving.
