Ingredients

  1. 1 tablespoon canola oil
  2. 2 tablespoons toasted sesame oil
  3. 2 large eggs
  4. 1/4 teaspoon kosher salt
  5. Freshly ground black pepper
  6. 1 tablespoon freshly grated ginger
  7. 2 medium carrots, peeled and diced
  8. 2 cloves garlic, minced
  9. 3 cups cold cooked rice
  10. 1 cup frozen peas, thawed
  11. 3 scallions, chopped, dark green parts reserved for sprinkling
  12. 3 tablespoons soy sauce
  13. 1 grilled chicken breast, cut into bite-sized cubes

Instructions

  1. Add the canola oil and 1 tablespoon sesame oil to a large nonstick saute pan. Whisk the eggs in a small bowl and season with the salt and some pepper; set aside. Add the ginger, carrot and garlic to the pan and cook until the vegetables have softened slightly, about 2 minutes. Add the rice, peas and the white and light green parts of the scallion. Then, add the soy sauce and remaining 1 tablespoon sesame oil and toss to coat. Press the rice mixture gently into the pan and fry until it begins to crisp on the bottom, 3 to 4 minutes. Add the eggs to the pan and cook, stirring gently, until just set, about 1 minute. Stir in the chicken and cook until heated through, about 1 minute. Transfer to a serving platter and sprinkle with the reserved scallions.

Used rotisserie chicken-This was so easy and so good! I added snap peas because I had.. can pretty much add what you like- great base recipe-will be making often!

Really delicious and a new recipe to add into the dinner rotation. The carrots need a little bit of extra cooking otherwise they’re too crunchy in the finished dish.

This is SO good! I have to double the recipe now as my husband and I race for the last spoonful.
