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.

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.
