sherry's fried rice
My wife and I love chicken fried rice, but we also do not like peas, which seems to be a universal ingredient in restaurants and frozen store-bought versions. So I asked her what veggies she wanted in it, and I custom-made chicken fried rice for her. Posting mostly so I don't forget the ingredient amounts.

How To Make sherry's fried rice
-
Step 1Put a 3-quart saucepan of water on to boil. Chop fresh broccoli florets into bite-sized pieces. Add the broccoli and boil for 2 minutes. Remove from heat & drain.
-
Step 2Heat the oil in a wok or large frying pan over medium-high heat. Add the onions and garlic and stir for 30-40 seconds. Add the broccoli, and continue stirring for 2 minutes. Add the chicken. Stir for another 2-3 minutes. Add in the rice and stir for an additional 3-4 minutes.
-
Step 3Lower heat to medium-low. Move the rice mixture from the center, making a 4-5 inch circle. Melt the butter in the center. When melted, pour the eggs into the butter. Gently stir the eggs until almost set, then stir them into the rice.
-
Step 4Remove from the heat and stir in the soy sauce. Then serve it forth! Note: I sometimes add other veggies at Sherry's request, such as celery, mushrooms, or carrot dices. You can, of course, do the same.
