Quick Fried Rice

Patrick's go-to Chinese take out order is Chicken Fried Rice. In all of our days of dating, being engaged, and being married I don't think I've ever seen him order anything other than Chicken Fried Rice! I, myself, like a bit of variety.

Fried Rice isn't the exactly the easiest take out dish to replicate and this was definitely sub-par to take out. I just don't think you can beat take out Fried Rice! But this is tasty and satisfies the craving. I loosely followed this Shrimp Fried Rice recipe.
