Ingredients:

  • 2 boneless, skinless chicken breasts (about 400g / 14oz), cut into ½ inch cubes
  • 1 tbsp soy sauce (15 ml)
  • 1 tbsp Shaoxing rice wine or dry sherry (15 ml)
  • 1 tsp cornstarch (3g)
  • 1 tbsp vegetable oil (15 ml)
  • 2 tbsp vegetable oil (30 ml)
  • 1 medium onion, finely chopped (approx. 150g / 5.3oz)
  • 2 cloves garlic, minced (approx. 6g)
  • 1 inch piece of ginger, grated (approx. 5g)
  • 2 cups cooked and cooled long-grain rice (approx. 400g / 14oz)
  • 1 cup frozen peas (150g / 5.3oz)
  • 1 carrot, diced (approx. 80g / 2.8oz)
  • 2 eggs, lightly beaten
  • 2 spring onions, finely sliced (approx. 30g / 1oz)
  • 2 tbsp soy sauce (30 ml)
  • 1 tbsp oyster sauce (15 ml)
  • 1 tbsp sesame oil (15 ml)
  • 1 tsp sugar (4g)
  • ½ tsp white pepper (1g)

Instructions:

  1. Combine chicken, soy sauce, Shaoxing wine/sherry (if using), and cornstarch in a bowl. Mix well and set aside for at least 10 minutes (or up to 30 minutes).
  2. Whisk together soy sauce, oyster sauce, sesame oil, sugar, and white pepper in a small bowl. Set aside.
  3. Heat 1 tbsp of vegetable oil in the wok over medium-high heat. Add onion and cook until softened (about 3 minutes). Add garlic and ginger and cook until fragrant (about 30 seconds).
  4. Add the remaining 1 tbsp vegetable oil to the wok. Add the marinated chicken and cook, stirring occasionally, until cooked through and lightly browned. Ensure the internal temperature reaches 165°F (74°C). Remove the chicken from the wok and set aside.
  5. Add the beaten eggs to the wok and cook, stirring constantly, until scrambled. Break the eggs into small pieces. Remove the eggs from the wok and set aside.
  6. Add the rice, peas, and diced carrot to the wok. Stir-fry for 2-3 minutes, breaking up any clumps of rice.
  7. Add the cooked chicken, scrambled eggs, and sauce to the wok. Stir-fry for another 2-3 minutes, until everything is well combined and heated through.
  8. Stir in most of the spring onions (reserving some for garnish). Serve immediately, garnished with the remaining spring onions.
