→ Toppings & Oils

16 - 2 tablespoons neutral oil

# Method:

01 - Slice all vegetables, beat eggs in a bowl, and ensure rice is chilled and ready to use.
02 - Heat 1 tablespoon neutral oil in a large wok or skillet over medium-high heat. Add ground chicken and cook until browned and cooked through, about 5 minutes, breaking up clumps as it cooks.
03 - Add minced garlic and ginger to the chicken, stir-fry for 1 minute until fragrant.
04 - Add sliced cabbage and carrots, stir-fry for 3-4 minutes until slightly softened while maintaining crispness.
05 - Push mixture to one side of the pan. Add remaining oil and pour beaten eggs into the cleared space. Scramble gently until just set, then fold into the chicken and vegetable mixture.
06 - Add chilled rice, breaking up any clumps. Drizzle with soy sauce, oyster sauce, sesame oil, rice vinegar, black pepper, white pepper, and sugar. Stir-fry for 3-4 minutes until all ingredients are well combined and rice is heated through.
07 - Stir in sliced green onions and cook for 1 minute more. Taste and adjust seasonings as needed.
08 - Transfer to serving dishes and garnish with crispy fried onions and toasted sesame seeds. Serve immediately.

# Expert Advice:

01 -
  • It tastes like your favorite takeout but costs a fraction of the price and takes less time than driving to pick it up.
  • Everything comes together in one pan, which means fewer dishes and more time actually enjoying your food.
  • The texture contrast between crispy vegetables and fluffy rice keeps every bite interesting, no monotony.
02 -
  • Day-old rice is not a backup plan, it's the actual requirement, because fresh hot rice will turn into a gluey mess when you stir-fry it.
  • Don't walk away once the rice hits the pan, a few minutes of constant stirring is what gets you the separated grains and slightly crispy edges that make this special.
03 -
  • Have all your sauces mixed together in a small bowl before you start cooking so you can drizzle everything in one go instead of grabbing bottles mid-stir.
  • If you don't have oyster sauce, an extra teaspoon of soy sauce plus a tiny pinch of sugar replicates that savory-sweet depth.
