Description

This Chicken Fried Rice is easy to make at home and tastes just as good as take out, but is even better because you control the ingredients!


Ingredients

Units Scale
  • 2 tablespoons avocado oil
  • 3 eggs, lightly beaten
  • 4 slices uncured bacon, chopped
  • 1 small onion, diced
  • 4 cloves garlic, minced
  • 12 ounce bag frozen peas and carrots
  • 1 (15 ounce) can corn kernels, drained
  • 2-3 pounds boneless, skinless chicken thighs, fatty pieces removed and thinly sliced
  • 3 cups cooked rice (preferably day-old, cold rice)
  • 4 green onions, green part sliced

for the sauce

  • 6 tablespoon tamari or regular soy sauce
  • 5 tablespoons mirin
  • 2 teaspoons sesame oil

Instructions

. In a small bowl, whisk together the sauce ingredients (6 tablespoons tamari, 5 tablespoons mirin, and 2 teaspoons toasted sesame oil). Put two teaspoons on the sliced chicken in a separate bowl and stir to combine. Set both aside.

3. In a large skillet or wok, heat 1 tablespoon avocado oil over medium heat. Add the beaten eggs and cook until just firm. Remove from pan.

4. In the same pan, add the additional tablespoon of oil over medium-high heat, and cook until the bacon is golden, about 2 minutes. Add the diced onion and garlic, and cook another minute. Next, add the frozen peas and carrot and can of corn and cook another minute.

5. Add the chicken and cook about 2-3 minutes, until it turns from pink to white. Next, add the rice and sauce and cook another 2 minutes, stirring constantly. Stir in the egg and green onion and serve immediately!
