Chicken Fried Rice

Chicken Fried Rice

Chicken fried rice is the comfort dish of Chinese food. It's been around for a long time and is additionally common in East, Southeast, and South Asian cuisines. The dish began as a way to utilise remaining fried rice that has dried out a few and may not be incredible on its own but is still superbly eatable.

Instructions

  • Crack 4 large eggs into the bowl and thoroughly beat them together with a fork and keep it aside.
  • Finely chop ¼ cup of green onion
  • Then take 1 Lb of boneless skinless chicken pieces and cut them into square bite-size chunks (Here I use chicken thigh because it has more flavour and is juicy, but you can also use chicken breast).

  • Add the seasoned chicken and cook for about 4-5 minutes
  • Stir the chicken occasionally or until it gets done
  • Take out the chicken into a separate bowl and keep it aside for later use
  • Now reduce the flame to medium heat and add 1 tbsp of extra light olive oil if needed
  • Now add 4 large beaten eggs into the pan and scramble them immediately for 1-2 minutes
  • Take out the scrambled eggs into the same bowl of chicken
  • Now clean the pan and again add 1 tbsp of extra light olive oil and add 5 cups of cooled and cooked rice into the pan
  • Spread the rice evenly in the pan and let it sit for 4-5 minutes without stirring
  • Now drizzle 2 tbsp of soya sauce and 1 ½ tsp of sesame oil on cooked rice
  • Now add 12 oz of thawed frozen peas and carrots and stir them until they mix up
  • Now add cooked chicken and scrambled eggs into the rice mixture and stir them evenly
  • Add ¼ cup of finely chopped green onions
  • Continue stirring and cooking until everything gets mixed and heats up
  • You can also add more soya sauce and sesame oil as per your taste and enjoy this scrumptious dish as your lunch
