Scale
Main Ingredients
- 500 grams Chicken Breast
- 1 cup White Rice (cooked)
- 1 Yellow Onion
- 1 cup Frozen Mixed Vegetables
- 2 Eggs
- 1 clove Garlic
Seasonings & Oils
- 4 teaspoons Sesame Oil
- 1/4 cup Soy Sauce
Instructions
- Cook the Chicken: Heat 4 teaspoons of sesame oil in a wok over medium-high heat. Add the 500 grams of chicken breast and cook it thoroughly until it is no longer pink in the center and has a nice sear. Once cooked, remove the chicken from the wok and set it aside temporarily.
- Sauté Vegetables and Aromatics: Add a little more sesame oil to the wok if needed. Add the chopped yellow onion, minced garlic clove, and frozen mixed vegetables. Cook them together, stirring frequently, until the onion is translucent and vegetables are cooked through, ensuring all flavors meld nicely.
- Scramble the Eggs and Combine: Push the vegetable mixture to the side, crack in the two eggs, and scramble them gently until they are cooked but still moist. Then, add back the cooked chicken and the cooked white rice to the wok. Pour in 1/4 cup of soy sauce over the mixture and stir thoroughly to combine all ingredients evenly.
- Serve: Once the fried rice is heated through and all ingredients are fully integrated, remove from heat, plate the dish, and serve immediately while hot. Enjoy your quick and flavorful chicken fried rice!
Notes
- Ensure the rice is pre-cooked and preferably chilled to avoid clumping during frying.
- Use a wok or a large skillet for best results to allow for proper stirring and even cooking.
- Adjust soy sauce to taste, especially if you prefer a less salty dish.
- You can add chili flakes or fresh herbs like green onions for added flavor.
- Leftover rice works perfectly in this recipe and helps achieve a better texture.
