Chow Fan

This is our old Amah’s recipe that Mum adopted and was one of our favourite meals when I was growing up. Also known as Chao Fan, it’s a Cantonese fried rice dish that is a staple recipe in Hong Kong and the Canton area of China. The recipe that is shared here is probably not authentic to China, but it was what Ah Yeung used to cook for us when we got home from school given that she had access to Western ingredients that we used to buy from the NAAFI.
