  • Author: WAFA LI

Ingredients

Scale
  • 2 cups cooked rice (preferably day-old) 🍚
  • 1 cup cooked chicken, diced 🍗
  • 2 tablespoons vegetable oil 🛢️
  • 2 eggs, beaten 🥚
  • 1 cup mixed vegetables (carrots, peas, corn) 🥕🌽
  • 3 green onions, chopped 🌿
  • 3 tablespoons soy sauce 🍜
  • 1 tablespoon sesame oil 🥄
  • Salt and pepper to taste 🧂

Instructions

  1. Heat 1 tablespoon of vegetable oil in a large skillet or wok over medium-high heat.
  2. Pour in the beaten eggs and scramble quickly until just set, then remove the eggs from the skillet and set aside.
  3. Add the remaining 1 tablespoon of vegetable oil to the same skillet and heat until shimmering.
  4. Add the mixed vegetables and sauté for 2–3 minutes, until tender-crisp.
  5. Stir in the diced cooked chicken and the cooked rice, breaking up any clumps so the grains separate.
  6. Pour in the soy sauce and sesame oil, tossing everything thoroughly to coat the rice evenly.
  7. Return the scrambled eggs to the skillet and fold them into the rice mixture.
  8. Add the chopped green onions and season with salt and pepper to taste.
  9. Cook for an additional 2–3 minutes, stirring frequently, until everything is heated through and slightly golden.
  10. Serve hot. Optional: garnish with extra green onions or a drizzle of sesame oil. Enjoy!
