I love a good Chinese food dinner. I love Chinese take out and I also love making it at home. One thing I haven’t made a ton of is homemade fried rice. I knew it wasn’t hard, I just had not done it. We have made prepackaged fried rice in the past and they are good, but there is something about making it in your kitchen from scratch.
