🛒 What You’ll Need:
2 cups of cooked jasmine or long-grain rice (preferably chilled overnight) 🍚
1 lb (450g) chicken breast, chopped into bite-size cubes 🍗
4 garlic cloves, minced 🧄
2 eggs, whisked 🥚
1/2 cup chopped green onions 🌿
1 cup frozen peas and carrots 🥕
3 tablespoons soy sauce 🥢
1 tablespoon oyster sauce (optional) 🦪
1 tablespoon sesame oil 🌰
2 tablespoons cooking oil 🛢️
Salt and pepper, to taste 🧂
👨🍳 Step-by-Step:
Heat 1 tablespoon of oil in a large wok or skillet over medium-high heat. Add the chicken, season lightly, and cook until golden and cooked through. Remove and set aside. Pour in the remaining oil, scramble the eggs until soft, then add the garlic and sauté briefly. Toss in the peas, carrots, and cold rice, stir-frying until heated through and lightly crisped. Return the chicken to the pan, add soy sauce, oyster sauce, and sesame oil. Mix well, stir in green onions, and serve immediately while hot and fragrant!
💡 Pro Tips:
Cold rice works best—it stays firm and doesn’t get mushy.
Spice it up with a splash of sriracha or some chili oil.
You can easily substitute chicken with tofu or shrimp!
