This flavorful and bountiful dish is ideal for serving on buffets because it stretches easily to serve 8 or 9 people. Simply add an extra cup of rice in step 2. For bigger crowds, the recipe also doubles well.

Frozen prepackaged chopped onion and celery will save not only time but a few tears, too.

Great Pairings

Hot and Sour Soup

Asian sesame oil, made from toasted sesame seeds, can give homemade Chinese food that distinctive restaurant-quality flavor. Buy the smallest, least costliest bottle since very little oil is needed.
