Description

A nostalgic, cozy dish featuring fluffy rice, tender chicken, and vibrant vegetables, all melded together with savory soy sauce.


Ingredients

Scale
  • 2 cups cooked rice
  • 1 cup cooked chicken, diced
  • 1 cup mixed vegetables (carrots, peas, bell peppers)
  • 3 tablespoons soy sauce
  • 2 tablespoons vegetable oil
  • 2 eggs, beaten
  • 2 green onions, sliced
  • Salt and pepper to taste

Instructions

  1. Heat the oil: In a large skillet or wok, heat the vegetable oil over medium-high heat until shimmering.
  2. Cook the vegetables: Add the mixed vegetables to the skillet, stirring frequently, until they turn tender yet crisp—about 3-4 minutes.
  3. Scramble the eggs: Push the veggies to the side of the skillet. Pour in the beaten eggs and scramble them gently until fully cooked.
  4. Combine chicken and rice: Add the cooked chicken and fluffy rice to the skillet. Pour the soy sauce over the top and toss everything together for about 2 minutes.
  5. Heat through: Continue to cook for an additional 3-5 minutes, stirring frequently until everything is heated through.
  6. Garnish and serve: Fold in the sliced green onions, and season with salt and pepper to taste. Serve it hot.

Notes

For best results, use day-old rice to achieve a non-sticky texture. Customize with your favorite proteins or vegetables.
