Ingredients
Scale
- 1 lb Chicken Breast, cut into bite-sized pieces
- 3 cups Day-Old Rice
- 4 cloves Garlic, minced
- 1 cup mixed Vegetables (chopped carrots, peas, bell peppers, or broccoli)
- 3 tbsp Soy Sauce
- 2 Eggs, scrambled
- 1 tbsp Sesame Oil
- Green Onions, chopped (for garnish)
Instructions
- Prep your ingredients: Start by gathering all your ingredients. Chop the chicken, veggies, and garlic.
- Cook the Chicken: In a large skillet, heat sesame oil over medium-high heat. Add chicken and stir-fry until golden, about 5-7 minutes.
- Sauté the Garlic and Vegetables: Push chicken to the side, add garlic and sauté for 30 seconds. Then add mixed vegetables and stir-fry for 3-4 minutes.
- Add the Rice: Toss in the rice, breaking clumps. Drizzle soy sauce and cook for another 2-3 minutes.
- Scramble the Eggs: Create a well in the center, crack in the eggs, let sit for seconds before stirring. Once cooked, mix them into rice.
- Final Touches: Stir everything well. Taste and adjust seasoning, then cook for another minute for a crispy bottom layer.
Notes
Feel free to swap chicken for turkey or tofu for a vegetarian option. Adjust soy sauce to taste and try different veggies based on your preference.
