Ingredients:

  • 1 lb (450g) chicken breast, diced into ½ inch pieces
  • 3 tbsp (45ml) vegetable oil, divided
  • 3 cloves (15g) garlic, minced
  • 1 tbsp (15g) fresh ginger, grated
  • 4 cups (300g) baby bok choy, stems sliced and leaves roughly chopped
  • 4 cups (600g) chilled, day-old jasmine rice
  • 3 large (150g) eggs, lightly beaten
  • 3 stalks (30g) green onions, sliced
  • 3 tbsp (45ml) soy sauce
  • 1 tbsp (15ml) oyster sauce
  • 1 tsp (5ml) toasted sesame oil
  • ½ tsp (2.5g) white pepper

Instructions:

  1. Whisk the soy sauce, oyster sauce, sesame oil, and white pepper in a small bowl. Break up the chilled rice with your fingers to prevent large clumps from forming in the pan.
  2. Heat 1 tbsp of oil over medium high heat. Add the diced chicken and cook for 4-5 mins until golden and just cooked through. Remove chicken and set it aside.
  3. Add another 1 tbsp of oil to the same pan. Sauté the minced garlic and grated ginger for 30 seconds until they smell nutty and fragrant.
  4. Pour in the beaten eggs. Stir quickly for about 1 minute until the eggs are just set and silky.
  5. Turn the heat to high and add the last tbsp of oil. Toss in the chilled rice and stir fry for 3-4 mins, pressing the grains against the pan until they start to toast and pop.
  6. Pour the savory sauce over the rice. Toss everything together for 1-2 mins until the rice is a uniform mahogany color.
  7. Fold the cooked chicken and the sliced baby bok choy into the pan. Cook for 2 mins until the bok choy is crisp tender.
  8. Stir in the sliced green onions and remove from heat.
