  1. Great, quick fried rice! I made as written the exception of making only 2 servings (DSs do not eat rice). There was enough for DH, myself and DHs lunch. The ginger and garlic were not overpowering and the soy sauce didn't make it too salty. Will make this again! Made for Everyday Holiday.
     
  2. This was a tad on the bland side, so I will double up on the garlic, ginger and soy sauce next time. I left out the chicken since this was only a side dish for us tonight.
     
  3. I made this for our evening meal the day the children started back to school. I cooked white rice and chopped the veggies in the morning, put them in the refrigerator and then cooked the dish for dinner. It was a hit! The entire family loved it. I substituted green pepper for red and also added some diced carrots with the onions. Thanks Ice Cook Kitty for a new quick-n-easy supper :)
     
  4. I thought this was a successful & easy to make meal with ingredients pantry staples. I made two minor changes- cooking the yellow onion, ginger, and garlic with the chicken & adding the egg at the end so it remained a pretty yellow color. I used half the amount of chicken and cooked the aromatics with it to season it. All in all, a recipe I'll keep on hand to use again. Thank you for sharing your recipe! Made for the Tag Game in the Asian Forum.
