Instructions
Step 1
Slice the chicken breast into thin 1/2" pieces and place in a bowl. Add the soy sauce, shaoxing wine, white pepper, sesame oil, salt and cornstarch mix until combined. Marinate for 15 minutes.
Step 2
Chop the onion, carrots, scallions, and garlic. Beat the eggs in a small bowl and set aside with the chopped vegetables and peas. Prepare soy sauce, sesame oil, white pepper, salt, and msg next to your pan for easy access.
Step 3
Over high heat in a large wok or pan, add 2 tbsp of oil until just smoking and cook the chicken breast for 2-3 minutes until just cooked through. Remove and set aside.
Step 4
Add 1/2 tablespoon of oil, then add the garlic, onion, and scallion whites and stir fry for 1 minute. Add the carrots and peas and stir fry for another 1-2 minutes until the carrot is tender.
Step 5
Push the vegetables to the side, then add 1/2 tbsp of oil to the bare side of the pan and fry the eggs until 80% cooked through. Fold the eggs into the vegetables.
Step 6
Immediately add your day-old rice and mix to combine with the eggs and vegetables for 2-3 minutes until the eggs are dry. Add the 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. Serve and enjoy!
