I am a sucker for Chinese food. I could live off it, only problem is it's the unhealthy kind- Chinese Take Out! I love Lo-mein, pork fried rice, General's Chicken, and Steamed Dumpings to be exact. What are some healthy recipes to satisfy my craving?|||*Fried Rice with Chicken, Ham and Shrimp

2 Bowls Cooked Rice (preferably not freshly cooked)
1 tsp Sesame Oil
Dash of Pepper
1/2 tsp Salt
2 Tbsp Light Soy Sauce
2 Eggs, beaten
1 tsp Minced Garlic
100g Frozen Petit Pois (Peas)
100g chopped Chicken, Ham, Shrimps or Crabsticks

Place rice, sesame oil, pepper and salt into a large clean plastic bag.
Mix thoroughly so the rice grains are seperated and the seasoning is distributed evenly.
Microwave the peas on HIGH heat for 2 minutes until cooked.
Heat a small amount of oil in a non-stick wok.
Fry the garlic until fragrant, add the meat and fry until cooked through. Set aside.
Pour beaten egg into the center of the wok and allow to half-set (do not stir).
Add rice, peas, meat and seasoning. Stir to mix.
Serve when rice is heated through.
