Ingredients

8 -10 eggs, slightly beaten
1 cup diced onion
3 cups brown rice, cooled
1/2 lime (optional)
1 tablespoon brown sugar
2 cups cooked chicken, cut into half inch cubes
3 stalks green onions
2 cups pineapple, cut into half inch cubes
2 -3 stalks celery, cut into slices, diagonally
5 tablespoons soy sauce
3 tablespoons oyster sauce
1 tablespoon sugar (optional)
garlic powder (optional)
white pepper, to taste
salt, to taste
1 -2 tablespoon oil

Directions

1

Cut onion into slices then chop into small squares. Fry on small saucepan in 1 tablespoon butter for 15 minutes on low heat until onions turn light brown, stirring occasionally to avoid burning.
2

Add brown sugar and dash of pepper and dried oregano (if you have it), and let sit for another 5 minutes before turning off heat.
3

In a wok or large skillet, add 1 tablespoon oil until it lightly smokes before adding the eggs and chopped green onions. Scramble the eggs.
4

Add pineapple, oyster sauce, garlic powder (I didn't have any fresh garlic on hand). Add diced chicken (or pretty much any meat of your choice) and stir evenly.
5

Add rice, sugar, soy sauce (I use the Maggi Seasoning brand that comes in a square bottle - much cheaper at Asian markets, as opposed to buying it at American chains e.g. Vons or Ralphs, where they jack the price up almost double).
6

Now add in the caramelized onions you've prepared in the separate saucepan and mix it thoroughly into your rice and squeeze the lime, then mix.
7

Add celery (I tend to add it toward the end to keep its crispness)
8

Add white pepper and salt to taste. I didn't add much salt because I figured the soy sauce and oyster sauce would be enough. Enjoy!
