This recipe is very similar to how I make my fried rice except I use snow peas instead of green peas. I also use green onions in place of the onion.

Making Chinese fried rice is fairly easy. But if you want your dish to be flavourful and delicious, it's best to use chopped onion and garlic as a base instead of green onions. If crabmeat is available, you can also add to the dish.

I remember those days when I used to patronise this special restaurant that served mouth-watering fried rice with crabmeat in it. The only special feature about this dish was that they served it with a dollop of sweet chilli sauce at the side. Hmmm, real yummy!!
