2 eggs, beaten
2 tablespoons sesame oil
2 tablespoons olive oil
Salt and pepper, to taste
Instructions
-
Heat 1 tablespoon of olive oil in a large skillet over medium heat. Add diced chicken, season with salt and pepper, and cook until browned and fully cooked through. Remove chicken and set aside.
-
In the same skillet, add sesame oil and peas and carrots. Stir-fry until tender, about 2-3 minutes.
-
Push the vegetables to one side of the skillet. Pour the beaten eggs into the other side and scramble until cooked through, then combine everything together.
-
Add the cooked rice, chicken, and soy sauce to the skillet. Stir well to combine, making sure everything is heated through and evenly seasoned.
-
Serve hot and enjoy!
Notes
You can substitute chicken with beef, shrimp, or tofu for different variations.
For a low-carb version, use cauliflower rice instead of regular rice.
If you like crispy rice, let the rice sit undisturbed in the skillet for a couple of minutes before stirring.
