Chicken fried rice (and all fried rice dishes) started off as a way to use up leftover cooked rice. Now it’s so popular many people cook it from scratch even when they don’t have leftover rice they need to use.

Ingredients:

  • 3 cup Sunwhite Medium Grain Rice (cooked)

  • 350 g Boneless Skinless Chicken Breasts (diced into 2cms pieces)

  • 1 tbsp Toasted Sesame Oil (divided)

  • 1 tbsp Canola Oil (divided)

  • 1⅓ cup Frozen Peas And Carrots Blend

  • 3 Green Onions (chopped)

  • 2 clove Garlic (minced)

  • 2 Large Eggs

  • 3 tbsp Low-Sodium Soy Sauce

  • Salt And Freshly Ground Black Pepper

  • Sriracha (for serving)

Method

  • Heat up 1 1/2 tsp sesame oil and 1 1/2 tsp canola oil in a large non-stick wok or skillet on medium-high heat. When sizzling, toss in chicken pieces, lightly season with salt and pepper, and stir-fry until fully cooked, around 5 - 6 minutes. Plate chicken and set aside.

  • Bring the skillet back to medium-high heat, pouring in the remaining 1 1/2 tsp sesame oil and 1 1/2 tsp canola oil. Add in the peas and carrots blend, green onions, and sauté for 1 minute. Follow by tossing in the garlic and sauté for another minute. Push the veggies to the edges of the pan, create a space in the center, crack in the eggs, and cook to scramble.

  • Add the chicken back to the skillet, followed by the rice. Season with soy sauce and salt and pepper to taste. Serve hot and spicy with a dash of Sriracha if desired.

Medium Grain

White medium grain rice is a round, tender and succulent grain, allowing it to lock in moisture when it is cooked. This rice is often used in dishes that require a bit more creaminess, like paella or risotto. It is also ideal in your favourite Middle Eastern, Korean and Spanish dishes.
