"This is a St Louis staple as we like to call it “Chinamen”! It is fried rice with all of your favorite fixings mixed into it. This particular day I had chicken thighs and shrimp on hand so that made my protein choice pretty easy. Peppers and onions give almost any dish great flavor so that was also a no brainer when I decided to add it to this particular dish. Anytime I get Chinese takeout I have to add extra eggs to my dish so it was mandatory that I do that in my own version as well."
