Chicken Fried Rice

This recipe can be made with either cooked shrimp or chicken. I'm not sure how it would affect the recipe, but I think next time I'll add the eggs before I add the rice and chicken.

Fried Rice
1-1/2 cups uncooked white rice OR 3 cups leftover cooked rice
3 cups of water (for cooking rice)
4 Tbsp vegetable oil
1 cup bean sprouts
1/2 cup chopped onion
1-1/2 cups cooked medium shrimp, peeled and deveined without tail OR cooked chicken, cubed
1/4 cup chopped green onion
1 cup frozen green peas, thawed
2 eggs, beaten
1 tsp salt
1/4 tsp black pepper
4 Tbsp soy sauce
1/4 tsp seasame oil

1. Cook rice according to directions and set aside to cool (I used leftover rice and skipped this step).
2. Saute shrimp or chicken until done (I sprinkled the chicken with salt and garlic powder before cooking). Set aside.
3. Heat a large skillet or wok for 2 minutes. When the skillet is hot, pour in vegetable oil, bean sprouts and onion. Mix well and cook for 3 minutes.
4. Mix in cooled rice and shrimp or chicken and cook for another 3 minutes, stirring constantly.
5. Mix in green onion, green peas, eggs, salt, pepper, soy sauce and sesame oil. Cook for another 4 minutes, stirring constantly, until eggs are cooked and everything is blended evenly.
