Instructions
 

Prepare the Chicken

  • Clean and cut the chicken breast into bite-sized pieces. Heat 2 tbsp oil in a pan or wok over medium-high heat. Add the chicken, 1/2 tsp salt, and 1/2 tsp pepper. Cook until browned and cooked through, about 6 minutes. Remove from pan and set aside.

Cook the Eggs

  • Whisk the eggs with a pinch of salt and pepper in a bowl. Heat the remaining 2 tbsp oil in the pan. Add the eggs and cook, stirring gently, until mostly set but still slightly moist. Remove from pan and set aside.

Prepare the Vegetables

  • Finely chop the onion, carrot, and spring onions (separate white and green parts). Mince the ginger and garlic.

Sauté the Vegetables

  • Heat the oil in a wok or large pan over medium-high heat. Add the white parts of the spring onions and sauté for 1 minute. Add the onion and carrot and sauté for 2-3 minutes. Then add the minced garlic and ginger, and sauté for another minute until fragrant.

Add Remaining Ingredients

  • Stir in the frozen peas and cook for 1 minute. Add the cooked rice, chicken, and scrambled eggs to the wok. Add the soy sauce, allspice, salt, and pepper. Stir-fry for 2-3 minutes until well combined and heated through.

Garnish and Serve

  • Garnish with the green parts of the spring onions and serve hot.

Recipe Notes

Expert Tips for the Perfect Chicken Fried Rice

  • Use day-old rice: Day-old rice is drier and less likely to become mushy when stir-fried. If you don't have day-old rice, spread fresh cooked rice on a baking sheet to cool and dry it out slightly before use.
  • Don't overcook the vegetables: Slightly crisp-tender vegetables are ideal for fried rice, adding texture and vibrant color. Overcooked vegetables will make the dish soggy.
  • High heat is key: Stir-frying at high heat helps create a delicious wok hei (smoky flavor). Make sure your wok or pan is hot before adding ingredients.
  • Adjust seasonings to taste: This recipe is a guideline; feel free to adjust the amounts of salt, pepper, and soy sauce to suit your preferences.
