Chicken & Fried Rice Ingredients
  • 1 lb boneless chicken breast, cut into small 1/2-inch cubes
  • 4 cups cooked jasmine rice (preferably chilled day-old rice)
  • 3 large eggs, lightly beaten
  • 1 cup frozen peas and diced carrots blend
  • 3 cloves fresh garlic, finely minced
  • 4 stalks green onions (scallions), thinly sliced, whites and greens separated
Savory Seasoning Sauce
  • 3 tbsp low-sodium soy sauce
  • 1 tbsp oyster sauce (or vegetarian stir-fry sauce)
  • 1 tbsp toasted sesame oil
  • 2 tbsp unsalted butter (hibachi secret for richness)
  • 2 tbsp neutral cooking oil (avocado or vegetable oil)
  • 1/4 tsp white pepper

Method
 

Cooking Instructions
  1. Heat 1 tablespoon of cooking oil in a large wok or wide non-stick skillet over medium-high heat. Add diced chicken and cook for 4-5 minutes until golden and cooked through. Transfer to a clean plate.
  2. Add 1 teaspoon of oil to the same skillet. Pour in beaten eggs and scramble quickly for 1 minute until just set. Remove eggs and set aside with the chicken.
  3. Add remaining oil and 1 tablespoon of butter to the hot wok. Add white parts of scallions, minced garlic, peas, and carrots. Sauté for 1-2 minutes until fragrant.
  4. Turn heat to high. Add cold cooked jasmine rice to the skillet, breaking up any clumps with a wooden spatula. Fry and toss constantly for 3-4 minutes until rice grains are hot and lightly toasted.
  5. Drizzle soy sauce, oyster sauce, sesame oil, and white pepper evenly over rice. Toss briskly until all rice is uniformly colored and sizzling.
  6. Fold the cooked chicken and scrambled eggs back into the wok. Melt remaining tablespoon of butter into the rice and toss with green scallion tops for 1 minute. Serve piping hot!
