In a small measuring cup or bowl, add the rice wine vinegar, soy sauce (I used low sodium) and the brown sugar and stir together until the sugar is dissolved.

Add the rice and the sauce to the skillet and stir this together. Tip: I used frozen pre-cooked rice in this recipe but you can cook the rice yourself. Cook for another 3 minutes or until the rice is heated through. Enjoy!

Note: You can add the eggs into the chicken fried rice when the rice is heated through. Just allow them to scramble in the skillet. I do not add eggs to mine as my family does not enjoy them in this recipe.

I like to serve this by spooning this out into individual serving bowls and adding some green onions and a few dashes of soy sauce. An egg roll on the side would be a great addition.
