A colorful and flavorful dish featuring day-old rice, crispy chicken, aromatic garlic, and vibrant vegetables.

Ingredients

Scale
  • 2 cups cooked jasmine or basmati rice (preferably day-old)
  • 1 lb boneless, skinless chicken breast, cut into small pieces
  • 4 cloves garlic, minced
  • 2 tbsp olive oil or sesame oil
  • 1 cup frozen peas and carrots, thawed
  • 3 green onions, sliced
  • 2 large eggs, lightly beaten
  • 3 tbsp low-sodium soy sauce
  • 1 tbsp oyster sauce (optional)
  • ½ tsp ground black pepper
  • 1 tsp cornstarch (for chicken coating)
  • 1 tbsp water (for cornstarch slurry)

Instructions

  1. Toss the chicken pieces with cornstarch until evenly coated.
  2. Heat 1 tablespoon of oil in a large skillet or wok over medium-high heat; add the chicken and cook until golden and crispy, about 5-7 minutes. Remove and set aside.
  3. In the same pan, add the remaining tablespoon of oil and toss in the minced garlic; sauté for about 30 seconds until fragrant.
  4. Push the garlic to the side and pour in the beaten eggs; stir gently until they set into soft curds.
  5. Add the cooked rice, peas, carrots, and green onions; drizzle in the soy sauce and oyster sauce.
  6. Stir-fry for a few minutes, breaking up rice clumps and letting flavors mingle.
  7. Add the crispy chicken back into the pan; toss to coat in the sauce and season with black pepper. Serve hot.

Notes

Use day-old rice for the best texture. Customize with other proteins or veggies as desired.
