• 2 cloves, minced garlic

Directions

Step 1

Cook the rice according to package instructions. Once cooked, allow it to cool, preferably overnight in the fridge for the best texture.

Heat 1 tablespoon of vegetable oil in a large non-stick skillet or wok over medium heat. Add the eggs and scramble until just set. Remove from the pan and set aside.

Step 4

Add minced garlic and stir-fry for an additional 1 minute until fragrant.

Step 5

Stir in the cooked chicken and shrimp, cooking for 2-3 minutes until heated through.

Step 6

Add the cooled rice to the pan, breaking up any clumps while stirring constantly.

Step 7

Pour in the soy sauce, oyster sauce, and sesame oil. Stir well to evenly distribute the sauces over the rice.

Step 8

Add the peas and cook for another 2 minutes.

Step 9

Return the scrambled eggs to the pan and stir in the sliced green onions.

Step 10

Season with salt and black pepper to taste, cooking for another 1-2 minutes until everything is well combined and heated through.
