Notes

  • Remember to use your hands to shred the Chicken breast into pieces. Your hands are your best friends here. You can taste the difference between hand-shredded chicken and machine-shredded chicken.
  • If you have any leftover fried rice, you can easily warm it up in the microwave the next day and it will still taste amazing!
  • There will be some leftover Salt and Pepper Mix. Reserve it in a container and use it for other dishes as you desire. Do not waste it. Once you taste this spice you will use it often.
