Recipe Information
Ingredients
- 4 cups Cooked white rice
- 2 cups Cooked chicken breast (diced or shredded)
- 2 cups Frozen mixed vegetables (peas, carrots, corn, and green beans)
- 3 large Eggs
- 0.25 cup Soy sauce
- 2 tablespoons Sesame oil
- 1 tablespoon Vegetable oil
- 3 cloves Garlic (minced)
- 2 whole Green onions (sliced)
- 0.5 teaspoon Salt
- 0.25 teaspoon Black pepper
Instructions
In a large skillet or wok, heat the vegetable oil over medium-high heat.
Add the minced garlic and sauté for 30 seconds until fragrant.
Push the garlic to one side of the skillet and crack the eggs into the empty space. Scramble them quickly, breaking them into small pieces as they cook. Once fully cooked, mix them with the garlic.
Add the frozen mixed vegetables to the skillet. Stir-fry for 3–4 minutes, or until they are heated through.
Stir in the diced or shredded cooked chicken and heat for an additional 2–3 minutes.
Lower the heat to medium and add the cooked white rice to the skillet. Toss everything together to combine.
Drizzle the soy sauce and sesame oil evenly over the rice mixture. Sprinkle with salt and pepper, then stir well to coat every grain of rice.
Cook for another 2–3 minutes, stirring occasionally, until all ingredients are hot and evenly mixed.
Turn off the heat and stir in the sliced green onions for a fresh, flavorful finish.
Allow the fried rice to cool completely if preparing for OAMC. Portion the rice into freezer-safe containers or bags, removing as much air as possible before sealing.
To reheat, thaw overnight in the refrigerator and microwave until heated through, or heat in a skillet with a splash of water for a freshly cooked taste.
