Ginger Chicken Fried Rice

Fried rice is one of those recipes we all should know. It’s easy, quick, delicious and perfect for the whole family. It’s also one of those recipes that can be made with pretty much anything you have in your pantry or fridge and one of the easiest to customize. 

And want to know a little secret? This DIY version is even better than takeout and that comes from someone that loves her takeout. The reason? The flavors are bold but not in an overpowering way. It’s also way less oily and greasy than the one at restaurants. Best of all? It’s even faster to make than waiting for the delivery guy to arrive.

How to make the best ginger chicken fried rice

The secret to making the most flavorful and delicious fried rice in the whole world is simple: Let your ingredients caramelize in the pan. 

Simply put you want your mushrooms and chicken to get all golden and crispy on the edges. To do that just let them cook, untouched, for a couple of minutes before tossing, turning and flipping.

Those little caramelized bits pack a whole bunch of flavor + everyone loves a good golden crispy piece of chicken (and talking about chicken, make sure you also check this recipe for Teriyaki Chicken Wings!) 

Making fried rice without rice

If you are following a low carb or keto diet you are probably wondering if you can make this ginger chicken fried rice recipe and the answer is a resounding yes!

Just swap the rice for cauliflower rice and cook for a couple of minutes less since cauliflower soaks up sauce faster than traditional rice.

Or mix rice and cauliflower rice to slash your carbs in half. If you are craving the asian inspired flavors but prefer something even more packed with veggies make sure to check this Oriental Chicken Salad recipe too.

Actually, this recipe is a great base to make with noodles or zucchini too so feel free to customize it to what you are craving.
