It’s a real quick chinese recipe that you can whip up in 15-20 minutes. Chinese fried rice recipe is a very popular chinese recipe, and I guess that everyone has his own recipe for it. But, this recipe is seriously my favorite these days. I don’t even need to wait for meat (if you are using chicken or any other meat) to defrost or anything. I am not using any “meat” as such in this recipe, I am just using some bacon. Genius, right? Although I am sure many other people use it for their fried rice too.
Sometimes after work, I am so tired that I don’t even feel like cooking but at the same time, I don’t want to eat outside. If you are like me, then this chinese fried rice recipe is perfect for you. To be truthful, I did not make up this recipe. I remember when I was still a kid, my brother would make this for our lunch and I liked it so much. Now that I am thinking of it, he used to cut these bacon square pieces so evenly. I wish I was like him! I just cut them up into almost-square pieces. Ha!
Well, I hope you guys enjoy this recipe. I have another Chinese fried rice, so don’t forget to check it out too!
