Ingredients

Scale
  • 1 tablespoon sesame oil
  • 1 tablespoon vegetable oil
  • 1 pound boneless, skinless chicken thighs, cut into 1/2-inch pieces
  • 1 teaspoon salt
  • 1/2 teaspoon black pepper
  • 3 cloves garlic, minced
  • 1 cup frozen peas and carrots
  • 2 large eggs, lightly beaten
  • 4 cups day-old cooked rice
  • 3 tablespoons soy sauce
  • 1 tablespoon oyster sauce
  • 1 teaspoon sugar
  • 1 teaspoon toasted sesame oil

Instructions

  1. Heat sesame oil and vegetable oil in a large skillet or wok over medium-high heat.
  2. Add chicken, salt, and pepper. Cook until browned and cooked through, about 5-7 minutes. Remove chicken from skillet and set aside.
  3. Add minced garlic to the skillet and cook until fragrant, about 30 seconds.
  4. Add frozen peas and carrots and cook until tender-crisp, about 3-5 minutes.
  5. Push vegetables to one side of the skillet. Pour beaten eggs onto the empty side and scramble until cooked through.
  6. Add cooked rice to the skillet. Break up any clumps with your spatula.
  7. Stir in soy sauce, oyster sauce, and sugar. Cook, stirring frequently, until the rice is heated through and well combined, about 5-7 minutes.
  8. Return the cooked chicken to the skillet. Stir in toasted sesame oil.
  9. Serve immediately.

Notes

  • Using day-old rice is key for the best texture.
  • For extra flavor, add a pinch of MSG.
  • Adjust soy sauce and oyster sauce to your taste.
