Vietnamese Fried Rice (Cơm Chiên Trứng)
Cơm Chiên Trứng or Vietnamese Fried Rice is a basic meal from Vietnam. People in Vietnam use all the stuff they want to get rid if in their fridge. That means Cơm Chiên Trứng can be made with almost anything. We always use the rice we havent´t eaten the day before and mix it with fresh vegetable like bok choy, broccoli or carrots. Add chicken, pork or shrimps and stir fry everything with scrambled eggs. In combination with fried rice you can cook a delicious meal within 15 minutes. Also perfect for just one person. Note: If you use fresh vegetables like broccoli or carrots you should pre-cook them!
