Chicken Fried Rice

11 ingredients
6 steps

Ingredients

  • 3 tablespoons oil, divided, plus more as needed
  • 1/4 pound boneless skinless chicken thighs, very coarsely chopped
  • 1/2 cup chopped onions or scallions
  • 1-2 anchovy fillets
  • 3 cups cooked rice
  • 2 large eggs
  • 1/2 cup frozen peas
  • 1/4 cup diced (small) cooked carrots
  • salt, optional
  • soy sauce, optional
  • ground white pepper, optional

Directions

  1. 1
    Season the chicken with a little salt. Heat a non-stick skillet or seasoned wok and add 1Tb oil. Add the chicken and stir-fry on high heat until the chicken is cooked through. Remove the chicken to a small bowl and set aside.
  2. 2
    In the same pan, add the remaining 2 Tb oil and onions. Cook until the onions are softened, ~2 minutes. Add the anchovy to the onions and stir & lightly mash until the anchovy disintegrates, 1-2 minutes.
  3. 3
    If mixture looks a little dry, add another Tb of oil. Add the rice, breaking up any lumps and mixing to coat the rice with the flavored oil.
  4. 4
    When the rice is thoroughly hot, crack the eggs over the rice and scramble them into the rice mixture. Keep stirring until the eggs are cooked.
  5. 5
    Return chicken to the skillet/wok and add the carrots and peas, stirring until the peas are just cooked, 3-5 minutes.
  6. 6
    Taste and add more salt or soy sauce, if needed. Add a light sprinkle of white pepper, optional. Serve immediately, but this tastes even better cold the next day.
