Step by step

Method

4 steps

  1. 1

    Cut 12 ounces boneless chicken into ½-inch pieces and season with ½ teaspoon kosher salt. Heat 1 tablespoon neutral oil in a large wok or skillet over high. Stir-fry the chicken 4–6 minutes until browned and 165°F, then move it to a bowl.

  2. 2

    Add 1 tablespoon oil. Scramble 2 beaten eggs for 30–45 seconds until barely set, then push them to the side. Add 1 diced carrot and ½ cup frozen peas; stir-fry 2–3 minutes until the carrot is crisp-tender.

  3. 3

    Add 4 cups cold cooked rice and 2 sliced scallions. Toss for 3–4 minutes, breaking up clumps, until the rice is hot and a few grains pick up toasted edges.

  4. 4

    Return the chicken and eggs. Stir in 3 tablespoons soy sauce and 1 teaspoon toasted sesame oil, tossing 1–2 minutes until everything is steaming. Taste and add more soy sauce only if needed.
