# Directions:

01 - Whisk eggs, milk or water, and pinch of salt until well combined. Heat 1 teaspoon oil or butter in nonstick skillet over medium heat. Pour in egg mixture, tilting pan to form thin layer. Cook 1-2 minutes until just set, carefully flip and cook 30 seconds more. Remove from pan, cool slightly, and slice into thin ribbons. Set aside.
02 - Heat 1 tablespoon vegetable oil in large wok or skillet over medium-high heat. Add sliced chicken and cook 3-4 minutes until golden and cooked through. Remove chicken and set aside.
03 - In same wok, add remaining 1 tablespoon oil. Add onion and garlic, sauté 1-2 minutes until fragrant and translucent.
04 - Add peas and carrots, stir-fry 2 minutes until heated through.
05 - Add cooked rice, breaking up any clumps. Stir-fry 2-3 minutes until heated through.
06 - Return cooked chicken to wok. Add soy sauce, oyster sauce, sesame oil, white pepper, and salt to taste. Mix thoroughly to combine and heat everything through. Stir in sliced scallions, reserving a few for garnish.
07 - Transfer fried rice to serving plates. Top each portion with sliced egg omelette ribbons. Garnish with extra scallions and sesame seeds if desired.

# Cooking Tips:

01 -
  • Those golden egg ribbons draped over the top make everything feel fancy even on Tuesday night
  • The combination of tender chicken and vegetables means you're getting a complete meal in one bowl
  • Dayold rice transforms into something extraordinary with the right technique and heat
02 -
  • Fresh rice will turn into a sticky mess, so plan ahead and cook your rice the day before
  • Let your wok get properly hot between additions, or you'll end up steaming instead of frying
  • Dont crowd the pan with chicken or it will never develop that gorgeous golden sear
03 -
  • Use a wok if you have one, but a large skillet works perfectly fine for home cooking
  • Everything moves fast once you start cooking, so have all ingredients prepped and ready
