Instructions
Follow these simple steps to make your High Protein Crispy Garlic Chicken Fried Rice:
1. Prepare the Rice: If you don’t have day-old rice, cook your jasmine rice according to package instructions, then spread it on a tray to cool.
2. Marinate the Chicken: In a bowl, combine the diced chicken with 1 tablespoon of soy sauce and a pinch of salt. Let it marinate for about 10 minutes.
3. Heat the Pan: In a large skillet or wok, heat 1 teaspoon of vegetable oil over medium-high heat.
4. Cook the Chicken: Add the marinated chicken to the pan and cook for 5-7 minutes, or until fully cooked and browned. Remove the chicken from the pan and set aside.
5. Sauté Garlic: In the same pan, add minced garlic and sauté for about 30 seconds until fragrant.
6. Add Vegetables: Stir in the mixed vegetables and cook them for 2-3 minutes until heated through.
7. Scramble Eggs: Push the vegetable mixture to one side of the pan. In the empty space, pour in the beaten eggs and scramble until cooked.
8. Combine Ingredients: Add the cooked rice, the remaining soy sauce, oyster sauce (if using), and sesame oil to the pan. Mix everything thoroughly.
9. Return Chicken: Add the cooked chicken back to the pan and stir to combine all ingredients evenly.
10. Season: Adjust seasoning with salt and pepper according to your taste. Toss in the chopped green onions for added flavor.
11. Serve: Remove from heat and transfer the fried rice to a serving dish. Optionally, sprinkle with chili flakes or sesame seeds for added garnish.
