    Arroz Chino ColombianoPin

    This  is the Colombian version of the world famous Chinese fried rice, and it was one of the staple dishes at our house growing up in Colombia. Colombia has Chinese restaurants every, some are poor quality and some are upscale, and this Arroz Chino is one of the most popular dishes in the country.

    Colombian families started making their own variations at home. Colombian-Style Fried Rice or Arroz Chino al Estilo Colombiano is usually made with chicken, pork, or seafood. Some cooks add chorizo, bacon, ham, or just use plain vegetables.

    Arroz chino con C y PPin

    This Arroz Chino Al Estilo Colombiano dish is a combination of my Aunt Consuelo's and my mom's recipe, with my own twist. My aunt Consuelo makes hers with chicken, bacon, and shrimp, whereas my mom makes hers with only chicken and bacon, because she doesn't eat shellfish. Oh, and my mom would sometimes add hotdogs to her recipe too! Don't worry, I left out the hot dogs in my version.

    Buen provecho!
