Instructions

  1. Step 1: Heat 2 tbsp vegetable oil in a large wok or skillet over medium-high heat. Add 1 lb diced boneless chicken breast and sauté for 5-6 minutes until cooked through and lightly browned. Remove chicken and set aside.
  2. Step 2: Add remaining 1 tbsp vegetable oil to the wok along with 2 minced garlic cloves and 1 tsp grated ginger, sautéing for 30 seconds until fragrant.
  3. Step 3: Crack 3 large chicken eggs into the wok and scramble quickly until just set, about 1 minute.
  4. Step 4: Add 4 cups chilled cooked jasmine rice, 1 medium diced carrot, 1/2 cup thawed frozen peas, and cooked chicken back to the wok. Stir-fry everything together for 4-5 minutes until heated through.
  5. Step 5: Drizzle 3 tbsp soy sauce and 1 tbsp sesame oil over the rice, sprinkle 1/2 tsp ground white pepper, and toss well. Stir in 3 sliced green onions and cook for another 1 minute before serving hot.
