Instructions
 

Prepare the Rice

  • Cook basmati rice according to package directions, but slightly undercooked. Fluff with a fork and spread on a baking sheet to cool and prevent clumping.

Stir-fry Aromatics

  • Heat vegetable oil in a wok or large skillet over medium-high heat. Add minced ginger and garlic; stir-fry for 30 seconds until fragrant.

Add Vegetables

  • Add diced onion and green chilies; stir-fry for another minute until slightly softened.

Cook the Eggs

  • Push the vegetables to the side of the wok. Pour in the beaten eggs and scramble until cooked through. Stir to combine with the vegetables.

Season and Combine

  • Add soy sauce, rice vinegar, and Ajinomoto (if using). Stir well to combine.

Add Rice and Chicken

  • Add the cooled cooked rice and shredded chicken to the wok. Stir-fry for 2-3 minutes until heated through and everything is well combined. Add salt to taste.

Serve

  • Serve immediately. Garnish with chopped green onions (optional).

Recipe Notes

Expert Tips for Perfect Chicken Fried Rice

  • Use day-old rice: Slightly day-old rice will fry up better and be less sticky.
  • High heat is key: Cooking over medium-high heat ensures the rice gets crispy and doesn’t become mushy.
  • Don't overcrowd the pan: Work in batches if necessary to ensure even cooking.
  • Get creative with veggies: Feel free to add other vegetables like carrots, peas, or bell peppers.
