Welcome To My Woven Words! You are on your path to discovering how to prepare, a mouth-licking, palatable recipe… You can and will prepare a sensational Chinese Fried Rice, just by following simple steps..
I got this Chinese Fried Rice recipe from a Filipino colleague and I enjoy the flavor that the soy sauce and sesame oil gives to the rice. Asian style fried rice is one of my favorite international cuisine and it’s nice to finally have a recipe that works for me.
You can easily find soy sauce and sesame oil in Nigeria in large stores like Shoprite, Park ‘n’ Shop, Amigo etc. , and if I’m not mistaken I think I found soy sauce in Wuse Market in Abuja as well
Enjoy.

Things To Note About This Recipe
1. You can use any other vegetable you like such as carrots, peas, sweet corn, snap peas etc.Just make sure you cut them into small pieces.
2. Sesame oil has a high burning point so only add it to the rice, don’t cook or fry with it.
3.Soy sauce already has salt so you can do without salt or add it only if you feel it’s necessary.
4.You can also add small pieces of cooked meat or shrimps to the recipe; you would add and fry them some minutes after frying the onions
