Main Ingredients- 3 cups ChamDream Rice (Gyeonggimi variety)
- 100g Chicken Breast
- 1 cup Cocktail Shrimp (thawed)
- 2 Eggs
Cooking Instructions
Step 1
First, the foundation of delicious fried rice is the rice! Wash 3 cups of ‘ChamDream’ rice (Gyeonggimi variety) thoroughly and cook it slightly drier than usual for perfect fried rice texture. Freshly cooked, warm rice will enhance the flavor profile significantly.
Step 2
Cut the chicken breast into bite-sized cubes, about 1 to 1.5 cm. Uniformly sized pieces are best so they mix well with the rice and are easy for everyone, including children, to eat.
Step 3
Prepare the vegetables for the fried rice. Finely mince or thinly slice the onion, and chop the carrot into small, diced pieces similar in size to the onion. Chop the chives finely. Smaller vegetable pieces will integrate better into the fried rice and provide a pleasant texture.
Step 4
In a deep pan or wok, melt 1 tablespoon of butter over medium heat. Once the butter is melted, add the prepared carrots, onion, and chicken breast. Sprinkle a pinch of black pepper and sauté until the vegetables are translucent and the chicken breast is cooked through and opaque. This step infuses the ingredients with a rich buttery aroma.
Step 5
Once the vegetables and chicken are partially cooked, add the thawed cocktail shrimp. Stir-fry together for about 2-3 more minutes, as shrimp cook quickly. Avoid overcooking to maintain their firm, succulent texture.
Step 6
Push the cooked ingredients to one side of the pan to create space. Crack the 2 eggs into the empty space. Once the eggs begin to set, gently scramble them with chopsticks until they form soft curds. Don’t overcook them; lightly scramble and then mix them thoroughly with the other ingredients in the pan.
Step 7
Now, add 2 bowls of the freshly cooked warm rice to the pan. Use a spatula to gently break up any clumps of rice and mix it evenly with the other ingredients.
Step 8
Pour 1.5 tablespoons of oyster sauce (or spaghetti sauce) evenly over the rice. Continue stir-frying over medium-low heat, using the spatula to ensure the sauce coats every grain of rice and ingredient. Cooking over gentle heat prevents burning and results in a more flavorful fried rice.
Step 9
When the sauce is well combined and a delicious aroma fills the air, add the handful of chopped chives. Stir-fry quickly for just about 30 seconds before turning off the heat. Overcooking the chives will diminish their fresh flavor and crisp texture.
Step 10
Transfer the mouth-watering fried rice to a serving bowl. Sprinkle generously with sesame seeds for an extra nutty flavor. Your incredibly satisfying and subtly flavored Shrimp and Chicken Breast Fried Rice is now complete! Enjoy a mouthful of pure comfort and deliciousness.
