What is better on a Friday night than some take out from your favorite Chinese restaurant? Not much else in my opinion but since we can’t do that right now, we’ve decided to make it ourselves. This Fried Rice with Spicy Honey Chicken makes us feel just like we ordered in, chopsticks and all!

If you haven’t checked out our Cauliflower Fried Rice for a less-carb filled dish, it’s AMAZING! But all in all the flavors of the fried rice are similar. This dish is so amazing because of the spicy honey chicken. If you are sensitive to spicy just tone that down or add a bit more honey to keep that sticky sauce.

Many people think to remove the spice you should not add kimchi, but it won’t mild the taste out much and instead you are now missing those flavors. Try out our house Kimchi recipe too! We can eat this out of the jar. We do love to add it to ramen or really anything. Our Hot Veggie Ramen doesn’t call for any kimchi, but it’s always a good addition. With all of this stay in place going on, Phillip and I decided to make a big batch of kimchi the first week of quarantine so we could make this Fried Rice with Spicy Honey Chicken in place of our normal take out!

While we are excited to get back to our normal routines and Friday night take out of Sushi or Chinese take out, we are happy to have this delicious recipe to make in the meantime. Hope you all are keeping well during this time of unknown and that our recipes are helpful in making your meals yummy! Please stay safe and remain at home if you are fortunate to do so.

From our kitchen to yours, cheers!
