Steps

Preparation

Dice the chicken breast into 1-2 cm pieces, season with salt and pepper to taste. Finely chop the onion and garlic, and peel and dice the carrot into small cubes. In a small bowl, whisk the eggs with a pinch of salt.

Cook Chicken

Heat 1 tbsp of vegetable oil in a large wok or skillet over medium-high heat. Add the diced chicken and cook until golden brown, about 5-7 minutes. Remove the chicken from the pan and set aside.

Sauté Vegetables

Add another 1 tbsp of oil to the pan. Add the chopped onion and carrot, and sauté for 3-4 minutes until slightly softened. Add the garlic, green peas, and corn, and cook for another 2-3 minutes.

Eggs and Rice

Push the vegetables to one side of the pan. Pour 1 tbsp of oil into the empty side of the pan, then add the whisked eggs. Scramble until set, then mix with the vegetables. Add the cold rice to the pan and combine with the other ingredients.

Season and Serve

Pour in the soy sauce and sesame oil, mixing thoroughly. Return the cooked chicken to the pan and heat everything through for 2-3 minutes, stirring constantly. Taste and adjust seasoning with more salt or pepper if needed. Serve immediately while hot.
