Chicken Fried Rice

1 1/2 tsp sesame oil (important ingredient!)
1 small onion
2 (or so) chicken breasts, cooked, cubed
2 Tbsp soy sauce
1 cup frozen peas
1 bag frozen veggies (carrots, peas, beans etc)
5 cups cooked white rice (cooled)
2 eggs, mixed with a fork
1/3 cup soy sauce

Cook the rice first, and then make sure it's cooled all the way, otherwise your fried rice will be mushy...no bueno. You can add what ever vegetables you like...bell peppers, carrots, celery, peas etc. I like using the frozen kind because they're convenient and require no prep work. Let them thaw out a little bit before adding them. Ok, onto the directions.

Heat oil in a large skillet (or a wok as pictured below) over medium heat. Add the chicken and 2 tbsp of soy sauce. Stir fry for 5 to 6 minutes. Stir in the veggies and stir fry for another 5 minutes. Then add rice and stir thouroughly. Finally, sir in scrambled eggs and 1/3 cup soy sauce.  Heat through and serve hot. Makes PLENTY of delicious leftovers!
