Ingredients
1 tablespoon olive oil, divided
1 pound boneless, skinless chicken breast, cut into small cubes
1 cup diced onion
1 tablespoon minced garlic
1 cup diced red bell pepper
1 cup diced carrots
2 large eggs
1/4 teaspoon black pepper
1/4 teaspoon ground ginger
1/4 teaspoon red pepper flakes (optional)
1 tablespoon toasted sesame oil
1/2 cup savory seasoning sauce of choice
1 cup green peas, thawed
2 cups cooked white or brown rice
Instructions
-
Cook the rice according to package directions and set aside to cool slightly.
-
Heat half of the olive oil in a large skillet over medium heat. Add the chicken and cook for 8–10 minutes, stirring occasionally, until fully cooked and lightly golden. Remove from the pan and set aside.
-
Add the remaining olive oil to the same skillet. Sauté the onion and garlic for about 5 minutes, until soft and fragrant.
-
Add the bell pepper and carrots. Cook for 3–4 minutes, until just tender.
-
Push the vegetables to one side of the pan. Crack the eggs into the empty space and scramble gently until just set.
-
Stir the eggs into the vegetables.
-
Add the black pepper, ginger, red pepper flakes, sesame oil, rice, peas, and cooked chicken.
-
Pour in the seasoning sauce and stir gently over low heat until everything is evenly combined and heated through.
-
Taste and adjust seasoning if needed. Serve hot.
Notes
- Slightly cooled rice gives the best texture and prevents clumping.
- You can increase the vegetable quantity without changing the rest of the recipe.
- Shrimp or thinly sliced beef can replace chicken; adjust cooking time as needed.
- Leftovers keep well in the refrigerator for up to four days.
