Recipe Information
Ingredients
- 4 cups Cooked jasmine rice
- 2 tablespoons Vegetable oil
- 2 large Eggs
- 1 cup Chicken breast (or protein of choice), diced
- 3 cloves Garlic, minced
- 1 teaspoon Ginger, minced
- 1 medium Carrot, diced
- 1 cup Frozen peas
- 3 stalks Green onions, chopped
- 3 tablespoons Soy sauce
- 1.5 tablespoons Oyster sauce
- 1 teaspoon Sesame oil
- 0.5 teaspoon Crushed red chili flakes (optional)
- 0.5 teaspoon Salt
- 0.25 teaspoon Black pepper
Instructions
Prepare all ingredients: Dice the chicken (or protein of choice), chop the vegetables, and ensure the cooked rice is cold and separated into individual grains.
Heat 1 tablespoon of vegetable oil in a large skillet or wok over medium-high heat.
Crack the eggs into the skillet, scrambling them quickly. Once cooked, remove and set aside.
Add the remaining 1 tablespoon of vegetable oil to the skillet, then add the diced chicken and cook until browned and fully cooked, about 5-6 minutes. Remove and set aside with the eggs.
In the same skillet, reduce the heat to medium and sauté the minced garlic and ginger until aromatic, about 30 seconds.
Add the diced carrots and cook for 2 minutes, then stir in the frozen peas and cook for an additional 1 minute.
Increase the heat to high and add the cooked rice to the skillet, stirring well to combine with the vegetables.
Pour in the soy sauce, oyster sauce, and sesame oil over the rice, stirring constantly to ensure the rice is evenly coated and heated through.
Return the scrambled eggs and cooked chicken to the skillet, mixing everything together. Season with salt, black pepper, and crushed red chili flakes (if using) to taste.
Add the chopped green onions and give the fried rice a final toss before removing it from the heat.
Serve hot and enjoy your Boombambam Fried Rice!
