Print Recipe

Ingredients

Scale
  • 1 cup of jasmine rice
  • 2 tablespoons of vegetable oil, divided
  • 3 large eggs, beaten
  • 1 pound of boneless, skinless chicken breast, diced
  • Salt and black pepper to taste
  • 1 tablespoon of soy sauce
  • 1 tablespoon of oyster sauce
  • 1 tablespoon of fish sauce
  • 4 cloves of garlic, minced
  • 1 cup of mixed vegetables (such as peas, carrots, and corn)
  • 2 green onions, chopped
  • 1 tablespoon of sesame oil
  • 1 tablespoon of chopped fresh cilantro, for garnish

Instructions

  1. Cook the rice: Start by cooking 1 cup of jasmine rice according to the package instructions. Once cooked, spread it out on a baking sheet to cool.
  2. Prep your ingredients: While the rice cools, gather and dice your chicken, prepare your vegetables, chop the green onions, and mince the garlic.
  3. Heat up your pan: In a large skillet or wok, heat 1 tablespoon of vegetable oil over medium-high heat.
  4. Scramble the eggs: Pour the beaten eggs into the pan. Cook until just set, stirring gently. Remove them from the pan and set aside.
  5. Cook the chicken: Add the remaining tablespoon of oil to the pan, then toss in the diced chicken. Season with salt and pepper. Cook for about 5-7 minutes, or until browned.
  6. Join the flavors: Add the minced garlic and mixed vegetables to the pan. Sauté until the vegetables are tender, about 3-4 minutes.
  7. Add the rice: Gently fold in the cooled rice, soy sauce, oyster sauce, fish sauce, and sesame oil. Stir for about 5 minutes or until heated through and crispy.
  8. Mix the eggs back in: Return the scrambled eggs to the pan and toss everything together. Add the chopped green onions and adjust seasoning if necessary.
  9. Serve it up: Plate your crispy garlic chicken fried rice and sprinkle with cilantro.
