Method
- Heat 1 tablespoon of olive oil in a large skillet or wok over medium-high heat. Add chicken cubes and cook for 6-8 minutes, stirring occasionally, until golden brown and crispy. Add garlic, soy sauce, salt, and pepper, and cook for 1-2 minutes until the garlic becomes fragrant. Remove the chicken and set aside
- In the same skillet, add 1 tablespoon olive oil, then diced onion and mixed vegetables. Stir-fry for 4-5 minutes until tender
- Push the vegetables to one side of the skillet. Pour the beaten eggs into the empty side and scramble until fully cooked. Mix everything together
- Add cold rice to the skillet and break it up with a spatula. Stir-fry for 3-4 minutes to heat through and lightly crisp
- Add the cooked chicken back to the skillet along with soy sauce, sesame oil, and red pepper flakes if using. Stir and cook for another 2 minutes to blend the flavors
- Serve hot, garnished with green onions and sesame seeds
Notes
Day-old rice is key for the best texture. Can be made ahead and reheats beautifully. Perfect for meal prep as it tastes even better the next day.
