Ingredients and method

Ingredients

  • 500g Chicken breast
  • 340g Rice
  • 180g Frozen peas
  • 2 carrots Carrot
  • 55ml Soy sauce
  • 3 eggs Eggs

Method

  1. Prep the ingredients Set out chicken breast, rice, peas, carrot, soy sauce and eggs. Wash, trim, and chop carrot before heating the pan. Measure soy sauce.
  2. Cook the base Cook rice ahead if possible. Spread it on a tray for a few minutes so it steams off and fries cleanly.
  3. Scramble the eggs Scramble the eggs quickly in the hot pan, transfer to a plate, and return them at the end so they stay tender.
  4. Cook the protein Heat a large non-stick pan or wok over medium-high heat and cook chicken breast until browned and cooked through.
  5. Add vegetables Add peas and carrot and stir-fry for 3-5 minutes until bright and tender-crisp.
  6. Add sauce Pour in soy sauce, scraping the pan so the sauce coats everything evenly.
  7. Combine Add rice and the scrambled egg back to the pan and toss for 2-3 minutes until hot all the way through.
  8. Serve Divide into serves and season with extra soy sauce to taste.
