Ingredients

  • 1 lb Chicken breast, diced into small cubes
  • 3 cups Cooked white rice (preferably day-old)
  • 1 cup Frozen peas and carrots mix
  • 3 large Eggs, lightly beaten
  • 3 tablespoons Soy sauce
  • 1 tablespoon Sesame oil

    In the same pan, add the remaining tablespoon of oil and sauté the garlic and frozen peas and carrots until tender, about 3 minutes.

  4. 4

    Push the vegetables to the side of the pan and pour in the beaten eggs, scrambling them until fully cooked.

    Drizzle the soy sauce and sesame oil over the mixture and stir constantly for 2-3 minutes to fry the rice.

    Season with black pepper and stir in the green onions just before serving.
