Chinese-Style Egg Fried Rice
Comments: To prepare this dish, a classic in Chinese cuisine, simply fry together already boiled drained rice, sweet peas, green onions and eggs before seasoning mixture with soy sauce.
Boiled rice is cooled under cold running water to remove as much as possible of the starch, so that rice grains do not stick together.
