Ingredients
Instructions
- Step 1. Break up any clumps in the cold rice with your fingers or a fork.
- Step 2. Heat 10 g of the oil in a large skillet or wok over medium-high heat. Add the chicken and cook for 5 to 6 minutes until cooked through and 74 C / 165 F. Transfer to a plate.
- Step 3. Add the beaten eggs and scramble for about 1 minute. Transfer them to the plate with the chicken.
- Step 4. Add the remaining oil, onion, peas, and carrots. Cook for 3 minutes until the vegetables are hot and the onion is softened.
- Step 5. Stir in the garlic for 30 seconds.
- Step 6. Add the cold rice and cook for 2 to 3 minutes, tossing frequently, until hot.
- Step 7. Return the chicken and eggs. Add the soy sauce, sesame oil, and black pepper. Toss until everything is evenly coated and steaming hot.
- Step 8. Top with green onion and serve immediately.
Notes
- Cold day-old rice works best because it stays separate instead of turning mushy. Fresh rice can be spread on a tray and chilled until cool before using.
