American fried rice

Okay kiddo, have you ever heard of fried rice? It's a yummy dish made with rice that's been cooked and then fried with different ingredients like vegetables, meat, and eggs.

American fried rice is a special kind of fried rice that's popular in the United States. It's a little bit different from traditional fried rice because it includes ingredients that are more commonly used in American cuisine.

To make American fried rice, you start by cooking some rice in a pot. Then you heat up a pan and add some oil. You crack some eggs into the pan, which cook quickly and get scrambled up.

Next, you add in some diced chicken, which gets cooked in the same pan. You can also add in diced ham or bacon if you like.

Once the meat is cooked, you add in some diced vegetables like carrots, onions, and peas. These are all chopped up very small so they cook quickly and blend well with the other ingredients.

Finally, you add the cooked rice to the pan and stir everything together. To add some extra flavor, you can drizzle in some soy sauce and sesame oil.

And there you have it, delicious American fried rice!
