Ingredients
  

Main Ingredients
  • 2 cups cooked jasmine rice (preferably chilled) Can swap with brown rice.
  • 1 lb ground chicken Can substitute with chicken thigh for richer taste.
  • 2 tablespoons vegetable oil Divided into two portions for cooking.
  • 1 medium onion, finely chopped
  • 2 cloves garlic, minced
  • 1 cup frozen peas and carrots, thawed
  • 2 eggs beaten
  • 3 tablespoons soy sauce Adjust to taste.
  • 1 tablespoon oyster sauce
  • 1 teaspoon sesame oil
  • 2 green onions chopped For garnish.
  • Salt and pepper to taste

Method
 

Cooking the Chicken
  1. Heat a large wok or skillet over medium-high heat, adding 1 tablespoon of vegetable oil.
  2. Add the ground chicken to the pan. Cook, breaking it up with a wooden spoon, until browned and cooked through, roughly 5-7 minutes. Season with a pinch of salt and pepper. Remove the chicken and set aside.
Cooking the Vegetables and Eggs
  1. In the same pan, pour in the remaining tablespoon of vegetable oil, then add the chopped onion and minced garlic. Sauté until the onion is translucent and garlic aromatic.
  2. Toss in the peas and carrots, stir-frying for about 2 minutes until tender.
  3. Move the veggies to one side of the pan, then pour the beaten eggs into the other side. Let set slightly before scrambling gently until fully cooked.
Combining Ingredients
  1. Return the cooked chicken to the pan, mixing with the vegetables and eggs.
  2. Add the chilled rice, breaking up any clumps with a spatula, and stir until well combined.
  3. Drizzle soy sauce, oyster sauce, and sesame oil over the rice mixture. Stir-fry for about 3-4 minutes until everything is evenly coated and heated through.
  4. Adjust seasoning with salt or soy sauce, if necessary.
  5. Finish with chopped green onions, giving everything a final toss before serving hot.
