About Chicken Fried Rice
Pakistani-Chinese fried rice — day-old rice stir-fried with egg, chicken, cabbage, carrot and soy sauce — is a takeaway staple. The oil used in the wok and the soy sauce push both calories and sodium up; a plate is about 525 kcal and close to a full day's worth of salt for some people.
Tip: Ask for it with extra vegetables and less oil, or make it at home with one tablespoon of oil for the whole pan.
