Ingredients
Scale
- 1 lb (450g) boneless, skinless chicken thighs, cut into 1-inch pieces
- 3 tablespoons teriyaki sauce
- 1 tablespoon vegetable oil
- 2 teaspoons minced garlic (about 2 cloves)
- 1 teaspoon grated fresh ginger
- 3 cups (600g) cooked long-grain rice, chilled overnight
- 3 tablespoons vegetable oil, divided
- 2 large eggs, lightly beaten
- 1 medium onion, finely diced (about 1 cup)
- 1/2 cup (75g) frozen peas and carrots, thawed
- 3 green onions, thinly sliced
- 3 tablespoons soy sauce
- 1 tablespoon butter
- 1 teaspoon sesame oil
- 1/2 teaspoon white pepper
Instructions
- In a medium bowl, combine chicken pieces with teriyaki sauce, 1 teaspoon minced garlic, and grated ginger. Toss to coat evenly and marinate for at least 15 minutes.
- Heat 1 tablespoon oil in a large wok or skillet over high heat until smoking. Add the marinated chicken in a single layer. Sear for 2 minutes, then stir-fry for another 3-4 minutes until fully cooked. Transfer to a plate.
- Add a drizzle of oil to the same pan if needed. Pour in beaten eggs, let set slightly, then break into small curds (about 30 seconds). Remove and set aside with the chicken.
- Add another tablespoon of oil to the pan. Add diced onions and stir-fry for 1-2 minutes until translucent. Add remaining garlic and stir for 30 seconds. Add peas and carrots and cook for another minute.
- Push vegetables to one side and add the final tablespoon of oil. Add cold rice, breaking up any clumps. Let sit for 30 seconds, then stir-fry everything together for 2-3 minutes.
- Return chicken and eggs to the pan. Drizzle soy sauce around the edges of the pan. Add butter and toss until melted. Finish with sesame oil and white pepper, then fold in most of the green onions, reserving some for garnish.
- Serve hot, garnished with remaining green onions and a sprinkle of sesame seeds if desired.
