Kittencal's Chinese Fried Rice
"You may think this is better than a Chinese restaurant, the secret is the garlic and sesame oil. Chopped cooked shrimp or strips of cooked chicken, beef or pork may be added in also, thawed frozen peas may be added in also, or be creative and use whatever is in your fridge! The amount of egg doesn’t matter you can use more if desired I always use more that three, if you like some heat add in cayenne pepper, make certain to use only cold rice for this and for the best results the rice should be cooked to slightly firm and not mushy. Prep time does not include cooking the rice "
