Ingredients

• 4 cups cooked jasmine rice
• 3 tablespoons vegetable oil
• 3 units garlic cloves, minced
• 1 tablespoon ginger, minced
• 1 medium yellow onion, finely diced
• 1 medium carrot, diced
• 0.5 cup green peas
• 3 tablespoons soy sauce
• 1 tablespoon oyster sauce
• 1 teaspoon sesame oil
• 2 units eggs
• 1 cup chicken breast, diced into small cubes
• 2 units scallions, sliced
• 0.25 teaspoon white pepper
• 0.25 teaspoon salt

Directions

Step 1

Prepare all the ingredients by mincing the garlic and ginger, dicing the onion and carrot, slicing the scallions, and cubing the chicken breast.

Step 2

Heat 1 tablespoon of vegetable oil in a large wok or skillet over medium-high heat. Add the chicken cubes and cook for 4-5 minutes until fully cooked and golden brown. Remove the chicken and set aside.

Step 3

In the same wok, add another tablespoon of vegetable oil. Crack in the eggs and scramble them until just set. Break them into small pieces with your spatula and transfer to a plate.

Step 4

Add the remaining tablespoon of vegetable oil to the wok along with the minced garlic and ginger. Sauté for 30 seconds until fragrant.

Step 5

Add the diced onion and carrot, cooking for 2-3 minutes until softened. Stir in the green peas and cook for another 1 minute.

Step 6

Increase the heat to high. Add the cooked rice to the wok, using a spatula to break up any clumps. Stir well to combine with the vegetables.

Step 7

Return the cooked chicken and scrambled eggs to the wok. Stir in the soy sauce, oyster sauce, sesame oil, white pepper, and salt. Mix thoroughly to ensure even seasoning.

Step 8

Continue to stir-fry for 2-3 minutes, allowing the rice to heat through and develop a slight toasty aroma.

Step 9

Garnish the fried rice with sliced scallions before serving. Enjoy your Huang He Fried Rice hot!
