Chicken Fried Rice
The girls had fun making Chicken Fried Rice for Friday Night Cooking Class this week. We had Jenna over to help with this wonderful recipe. The Asian flavours are fabulous and I love the fact that you can add pretty much whatever you like to your creation.
The girls started off making a pomegranate sparkler and then went about chopping up the veggies.
