Chicken Fried Rice
Guest Writer: Tastes Like Home
I have known the lovely Cynthia at Tastes Like Home for a while; she is one of the early supporters of Rasa Malaysia. Last year when we were on a Caribbean cruise, we met up with her in Barbados. A few months ago, I invited Cynthia to write a guest post. Personally, I am intrigued by Caribbean-influenced Chinese food, and thought Cynthia would be the best person to write a post on the topic. We chose fried rice, a simple Chinese dish that has no geographical boundary. Please welcome Tastes Like Home with her beautiful and mouthwatering Chicken Fried Rice, Caribbean-style. Yum!
Earlier this year, I read with pleasure, the invitation by Rasa Malaysia to write a guest post for her blog. Rasa Malaysia has been among the first blogs I visited when I started blogging back in 2007 and I have been hooked since then. I’ve long admired her food and her photography. I bought the camera I use based on her recommendation! Coming from the Caribbean where countries such as my birth-land, Guyana, is made up of a vast number of Chinese, it is easy to understand how at home I feel when visiting Rasa Malaysia…

Do you love black pepper? I do.
Think black pepper crab, black pepper beef (served on a sizzling hot plate!), and black pepper in the many concoctions that ultimately add depth and awesomeness to the dish. Don’t you just love black pepper?
I made black pepper chicken for dinner last night. It was a very spontaneous recipe. I had a chicken breast, a bag of onions, and a green bell pepper. Then, I thought about black pepper chicken. Though not as sinfully delicious as black pepper beef, it was still wonderful…(get black pepper chicken recipe after the jump)

I am back from Chengdu, Sichuan after the brief weekend visit.
Chengdu is highly regarded as the culinary capital of China with mouthwatering Sichuan cuisine and famed local “small eats” (小吃).
Here is bon-bon chicken or “bang bang ji” (棒棒鸡), which is available in many Chinese restaurants in the US. Bon-bon chicken is a very popular “small [...]
In China, there are many dishes where the name originated from a folklore, legend, or story. Beggar’s Chicken (叫化鸡) is another dish with an interesting history. (Read my post about “Goubuli Baozi/Steamed Pork Buns” to learn about another legendary dish.)
Legend has it that a homeless, starving beggar had a chicken but didn’t have a stove [...]
I am not sure about you, but I absolutely love chicken kebab (kabab). (Previously, I was hooked on chicken kabab koobideh.) Whoever invented the idea of marinated meat threaded onto skewers and then grill over fire was a culinary genius–one of the most brilliant and delicious food ideas ever invented. I can’t imagine a world [...]
When it comes to Chinese recipes, there are a few very popular–and basic–cooking methods, and one of it is definitely sweet and sour.
I love sweet and sour flavors and have shared quite a few recipes, such as sweet and sour pork, sweet and sour fish, and sweet and sour fish balls. Sweet and sour sauce [...]
I love red curry and Thai curries in general–be it green curry, Panang curry, massaman curry, yellow curry, or red curry. There are many red curry recipes, each with slightly different ingredients, for example: potatoes, bamboo shoots, winter squash, pumpkins, Thai egg plants, etc. Chicken is commonly used for red curry, but there are pork red curry and beef [...]

Fried rice is a versatile dish and one can add any ingredients to it, plus it’s a great way to use up overnight rice and make it into an appetizing, cheap, [...]
