Ingredients
- 3 cups cooked brown rice
- 4 large eggs
- 300 grams chicken breast
- 1 cup green peas
- 1 medium carrot, diced
- 1 medium onion, chopped
- 3 tablespoons soy sauce
- 1 tablespoon sesame oil
- 2 tablespoons green onions, sliced
- 2 cloves garlic, minced
- 1 teaspoon ginger, grated
- 0.5 teaspoon salt
- 0.25 teaspoon black pepper
Directions
Step 1
Begin by preparing all the ingredients. Dice the chicken breast into small, bite-sized pieces.
Step 2
In a large non-stick skillet or wok, heat the sesame oil over medium-high heat.
Step 3
Add the diced chicken breast to the skillet. Stir-fry for 5-6 minutes, or until the chicken is cooked through and golden brown. Remove the chicken from the skillet and set aside.
Step 4
In the same skillet, add the onion and carrot. Sauté for 3-4 minutes until they start to soften.
Step 5
Add the minced garlic and grated ginger to the skillet. Stir well for about 1 minute until fragrant.
Step 6
Push the vegetables to one side of the skillet, and on the other side, crack the eggs. Let them cook for about 1-2 minutes, scrambling them slightly, until they are mostly set.
Step 7
Mix the scrambled eggs with the sautéed vegetables, and then return the cooked chicken to the skillet.
Step 8
Add the cooked brown rice to the skillet along with the green peas.
Step 9
Pour the soy sauce over the rice and mix everything well until all ingredients are evenly coated and heated through.
Step 10
Season with salt and black pepper, and adjust to taste if needed.
Step 11
Garnish with the sliced green onions and serve hot.
