For the Fried Rice:

Instructions

  1. Marinate the chicken: Combine chicken marinade ingredients and marinate chicken for 5 minutes.

  3. Cook the chicken: Stir-fry the marinated chicken in a hot wok until fully cooked. Remove and set aside.
  4. Sauté aromatics and vegetables: Stir-fry garlic, shallots, peas, and carrots in the wok.
  5. Cook the eggs: Scramble eggs in the wok and combine with the vegetables.
  6. Add rice and chicken: Toss in the cooked rice, chicken, and sauce. Mix until rice is evenly coated.

  • Day-old rice works best for fried rice as it is drier and less likely to become mushy.
