Simple Egg Fried Rice is one of those dishes that every Chinese meal should have. It is incredibly simple to prepare and goes with every other dish. The eggs, spring onions and peas turn this dish from a plain rice something into a meal on its own. I have had a bowl of Simple Fried Egg Rice for dinner main course with a serving of Hoi sin sauce. Also, try serving this with Sweet and Sour Chicken, Beef in Oyster Sauce and Chinese Salt and Pepper Shrimp. The sauces of these dishes are absorbed into the rice to create a perfect combination.
