Instructions

Step 1

Slice chicken breast into thin 1/2" pieces and place in a bowl. Marinate with soy sauce, shaoxing wine, white pepper, sesame oil, salt and cornstarch for 15-20 minutes.

Step 2

Chop your vegetables and beat eggs and set aside. Prepare soy sauce, sesame oil, white pepper, salt, and msg next to your pan for easy access.

Step 3

Over high heat, add 2 tbsp of oil until shimmering and cook your chicken breast for 2-3 minutes until just cooked through. Remove and set aside.

Step 4

Add more oil if needed, then fry garlic, onion, and scallion whites for 1 minute, followed by your carrots and peas for another 1-2 minutes.

Step 5

Push the vegetables to the side, then add 1/2 tbsp of oil and fry your eggs until 80% cooked through. Fold the eggs into the vegetables.

Step 6

Immediately add your day-old rice, soy sauce, sesame oil, white pepper, sugar, msg, and salt to taste. Fry over high heat for 3-4 minutes or until everything is well incorporated and the rice is relatively dry.

Step 7

Add back the chicken and scallion greens and cook for another minute. Finish with sesame oil and enjoy!
