This easy and delicious better-than-takeout fried rice is the only recipe you'll ever need. It's also the best recipe to use up leftover rice!

Ingredients

• neutral oil, such as vegetable, avocado, olive oil
• 2 large eggs, beaten
• 1 chicken breast, diced
• 1/4 lb. shrimps
• salt and pepper, to taste
• 1/2 teaspoon garlic powder
• 1 small onion, diced
• 1/2 cup carrots, diced
• 3/4 cup green peas (thawed if frozen)
• 3 garlic cloves, minced
• 2 teaspoons ginger, minced
• 4 cups day-old white rice
• 3 tablespoons hoisin sauce
• 3-4 tablespoons soy sauce
• 3 tablespoons sesame seed oil
• 2 green onions, sliced
• 1 teaspoon sesame seeds (optional)

Instructions

1. Season chicken and shrimp with salt, pepper, and garlic powder. Set aside
2. Preheat a wok or skillet over high heat until smoking. Add 1 tablespoon of oil.
3. Season eggs with salt, pepper, and whisk. Pour the beaten eggs onto the wok and scramble. Once cooked, transfer to a plate.
4. Add another tablespoon of oil to the wok and add chicken pieces. Saute until cooked through, then transfer to a plate. Add the shrimp and cook for 1-2 minutes, then transfer to plate and set aside.
5. Add a tablespoon of oil to the wok and cook the onions, carrots, and green peas until tender. Add garlic and ginger and cook for 1 more minute.
6. Add rice to the wok along with hoisin sauce, soy sauce, and sesame oil. Stir and fry for about 4-5 minutes. Return the chicken, shrimp, and eggs back into the wok and cook for 3 more minutes.
7. Add chopped green onions and sesame seeds and serve right away.
8. ENJOY!

Notes:

• You can turn this recipe into a "special fried rice" by adding diced ham and pork. Season and cook the pork same as the chicken.
• I personally like to use low sodium soy sauce but regular, or even coconut aminos will work as well.
• If you don't have leftover rice, cook rice according to the package's instructions then pop it in the freezer for about 30 minutes.
