My family's favorite Chicken Fried Rice I cook.


Chicken Fried Rice Recipe


Ingredients:
Boneless Skinless Chicken Breasts (1-2)      
Instant Rice (2-4 Cups or ~1 cup per person)
Eggs (2-4)
Soy Sauce (1/4 cup for boiling rice)
Water (for boiling rice)
Canola Oil (3-4 Tablespoons)


Cooking Instructions:
I prefer to use an electric Wok or Skillet to fry my ingredients, but a regular skillet would work.
In a pot boil water minus the ¼ cup for the soy sauce.  Example 1 ¾ water plus ¼ soy sauce for 2 cups rice.
While the waiting for the water to boil, cut the chicken breasts up into small (1/4 inch) pieces.
Heat the canola oil in the wok or skillet.  I set my wok on 300 degrees.
Once the water and soy sauce has come to a boil, stir in the rice, cover and set aside.
Fry the chicken pieces in the oil till golden brown and then remove from the oil. (I set mine on a paper towel in a bowl or plate).
Occasionally fluff and stir the rice.
Crack eggs and fry in the oil mixing them good.
Once the eggs are cooked through, add back the fried chicken pieces.
The rice should be ready.
I turn the heat up to 350-400 degrees to get the oil really hot.
Add the rice in and stir up good.
Fry the rice continually stirring until it forms a golden brown.
Careful because the rice will stick to the bottom.

Total prep and cook time about 20 minutes.
The instant rice in soy sauce takes about 5 minutes to boil and then 5 minutes to set up.
The chicken takes about 5 minutes to fry and the eggs 2-3 minutes.
It takes about 5-10 minutes to fry the rice mixed with the eggs and chicken.
I like to add some more soy sauce into the mixture of rice, chicken, and egg while I am frying.

My family does not care for vegetables in their fried rice, but many people will add carrots, corn, peas, green beans, or other vegetables to fry in the oil and rice.

All the buzz is Sandy Bridge, but is upgrading the old computers worth it?

So one of the things I like to do on occasion is benchmark different machines and look back at whether it was worth upgrading or not.  I usually try to get rid of most of my older computers, but somehow between repairing and upgrading other people's computers, I end up with old ones lying around. I read daily to keep up with the current computer and networking technology to be able to recommend to other people as well as think about my next upgrades.  All the buzz lately has been Intel's Sandy Bridge and the upcoming AMD platforms Bulldozer, Fusion, and other. I recently got myself a new laptop for Christmas.  I had been holding off on the latest and greatest but the wait was getting longer and longer and the then current laptop I was using was not cutting it.  I use most of my computers for a variety of tasks.  Most of the evenings it is web surfing, flash games, and watching video.  But quite often I am doing website publishing, photo, and video editi...

Why not buy a Celeron? Computer Hardware System 3a

So many times I have been asked this question throughout the years "Why not buy a Celeron?" and try to explain the answer in easy terms to someone. So in the great car reference so many times used in the computer world, I ask a person "Would you buy a car that part of the engine or transmission did not meet spec and so part of it is shut off?" The car will still get you from point A to point B, just not as fast or smooth as the same car with all the fully functioning parts. Only a few people would every decide that they could wait for the few dollars saved even though I tried to show that time is money and spending the extra could save in the long run. First chip binning, reusing, and relabeling has been going on in the processor industry almost since the beginning. Do you just throw away a working CPU that may not reach the intended speed or that part of the cache is not 100%?  No way, that would waste money and end up costing the consumers more per chip. You ...
