Instructions

Step 1
In a medium bowl, combine the rice with cool water to cover. Agitate the rice and pour out the cloudy water, repeating until the water runs clear. Drain in a fine mesh sieve.
Step 2
In a large saucepan, bring 2 cups of water to a boil. Add the rice, return to a boil, then reduce the heat to low, cover, and let simmer for 12 minutes. Remove the pan from the heat and set aside, covered for 5 to 10 minutes. Spread the rice onto a baking sheet and let cool to room temperature.
Step 3
In a 14 inch wok or nonstick skillet, heat the vegetable oil and 1 tablespoon of the sesame oil over medium-high heat. Add the chicken, soy sauce, salt and pepper. Cook, stirring constantly, until the chicken is dark golden brown, 10 to 12 minutes. Using a slotted spoon, transfer the chicken to a medium bowl.
Step 4
Add the remaining 1 tablespoon sesame oil to the wok. Add the peas, carrots, and onion and cook, stirring often, until almost tender, about 4 minutes. Add the garlic and continue cooking, stirring constantly, until the vegetables are crisp tender and the garlic is fragrant, about 1 more minute. Transfer the vegetables to the bowl with the chicken.
Step 5
Crack the eggs into the wok and cook, stirring constantly, until scrambled, 1 to 2 minutes. Add the chicken, vegetables, cooled rice, hoisin, and ginger to the wok and stir until hot and thoroughly mixed. Serve sprinkled with green onions.
Step 6
Store in an airtight container in the refrigerator for up to 3 days.
Step 7
Make the rice a day ahead and place in the refrigerator overnight. This will keep the fried rice from getting mushy.
