SO Yummy, we added this sweet red chili chinese sauce to the chicken when we were cooking it... got it from Trader Joe's $1.29 One of our best purchases to date. Tastes good with anything chinese. Had to make it with Fried rice in order to make it substantial enough a meal for Nate, but Nate LOVED it.

We just stick cold rice in a fry pan with some oil, green onions and whatever else we want in it, pork, peas, carrots, chicken (all of these would be previously cooked - it's whatever's leftover in our fridge) and let it brown a little, add the egg last and then a little soy sauce to give it a little better color. Yummy... it turns out different every time, but yummy.
