Easy Fried Rice

 I have always liked fried rice from the local Chinese take out but was concerned about all of the salt it contained.  I modified a few recipes and came up with the following.  I was extremely happy with the results.  This taste just like take out without the salt lick! :)  I also tried it with shrimp instead of chicken and it worked as well.
