Main Ingredients- 200g leftover fried chicken
- 3 eggs
- 2 bowls of cooked rice
Cooking Instructions
Step 1
Dice the leftover fried chicken into bite-sized pieces (about 1-2 cm). Remove any bones and use mostly the meat.
Step 2
In a bowl, whisk the 3 eggs with a pinch of salt until well combined. Whisking the eggs thoroughly will help them spread evenly without clumping in the fried rice.
Step 3
Heat 3 tablespoons of cooking oil in a pan over medium heat. Add 1 tablespoon of minced garlic and sauté until fragrant, about 30 seconds. Then, add the diced chicken and stir-fry until it’s lightly crispy on the edges over medium heat.
Step 4
Push the chicken to one side of the pan. Pour the whisked egg mixture into the empty space and scramble it. Once the eggs are about 70% cooked, mix them with the chicken. At this point, add 1 tablespoon of Yeondu (or soy sauce) to enhance the savory flavor.
Step 5
Add 2 bowls of cooked rice to the pan. Use a spatula to break up any clumps and stir-fry everything together with the chicken and eggs until well combined. It’s easier to stir-fry if the rice is warm.
Step 6
Once the rice is incorporated, pour 1 tablespoon of oyster sauce around the edges of the pan to add depth of flavor, and stir-fry to distribute evenly. Taste the fried rice and add a pinch of salt if needed to adjust the seasoning to your preference.
Step 7
Transfer the finished chicken fried rice to a serving plate. Sprinkle with parsley flakes for an extra touch of color and flavor, if desired. Enjoy your delicious homemade chicken fried rice!
