Chloe’s Chicken Fried Rice is a simple dish that’s easy to cook and ready within 30 minutes. The only thing I do in advance in to cook the rice allowing it to cool properly to prevent it sticking. The rice MUST be cold for this to work. I use Peanut Oil as I love the flavour but vegetable oil is a good substitute. Furthermore adding a handful of crushed peanuts to the mix for another texture. Served as a main dish but also as a side.
