Directions

Cut the chicken into small pieces. Mix it with 1 tsp of corn starch, 1 tsp of soy sauce, 1 tsp of vegetable oil and a pinch of baking soda. Set it aside for 30 minutes.
Crack 2 eggs. Beat it well.
Heat up the wok. Add about 1 tbsp of vegetable oil. Give it a toss, so the bottom is coated nicely.
Wait until there is smoke coming out. Pour in the egg. Will take about 30-50 seconds to get the it fluffy. Break it into small pieces and set it aside.
Add more oil into the same wok. Heat it up and add in the chicken. Saute it about 1 or 2 minutes. Then push it to the side so you have room for the vegetables. Dump in all your veggies, which are 1 tbsp of minced garlic, 1/4 cup of onion, 1/3 cup of green beans and 1/2 cup of carrot. Stir-fry for 2 to 3 minutes.
When the onion should be transparent, Add some salt to taste. Mix it well.
Take it out.
Next is the rice. Loosen up the rice before frying.
Turn on the gas to high, Heat up the wok for about 15 seconds. Then add 2 tbsp of vegetable oil. Put in the rice right after that. Use your spatula to break down the big pieces.
You need to stir fry this for 3-5 minutes. Then add in our seasoning, 1 tbsp of light soy sauce, 2 tsp of dark soy sauce.
Now you really got to mix this. Do it fast. Because the wok is hot, the liquid will evaporate quickly- then you will never get to mix it evenly. Once can not see white rice, add in all the ingredients. Veggies, meat, oh and the egg...
Toss everything together. Give them about 2 minutes to be infused with each other.
Add in the spring onion right before serving.

I just about never comment on random websites, but this recipe absolutely deserves it. It’s perfect (ofc I triple all qtys).
What I like the most about it is the “normal” ingredients that can be found just about anywhere. It would be great if you could do that with other recipes as well. In some countries we don’t have Sinchuan crocodile tears and Xiaoming back alley sauce

Tried this, but left out the garlic and onion. Did frozen mixed vegetables instead of the green beans and carrots. Turned out absolutely delicious. I would’ve never thought to marinate the chicken ahead of time.

love watch your foods

I love this recipe. I think I’m going to add it to my personal chef meals to cook for my clients. One question, do you think this dish will freeze well?

Hi.
This says 150 grams of chicken. That seems like a vey small amount. Are you sure?
