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 heat.

  2. 2

    Stir-fry the chicken 4–6 minutes, tossing once or twice, until browned and 165°F. Move it to a bowl. Add another tablespoon oil, scramble 2 beaten eggs for 30–45 seconds until barely set, then push them aside.

  3. 3

    Add 1 diced carrot and ½ cup frozen peas. Stir-fry 2–3 minutes, until the carrot is crisp-tender. Add 4 cups cold cooked rice and 2 sliced scallions, breaking up clumps for 3–4 minutes until the grains are hot with a few toasted edges.

  4. 4

    Return the chicken and eggs. Stir in 3 tablespoons soy sauce and 1 teaspoon toasted sesame oil. Toss 1–2 minutes, until everything steams. Taste before adding more soy sauce.
