Ingredients- Leftover chicken (both seasoned and plain fried chicken work well)
- 1.5 bowls of freshly cooked rice
- 1 Tbsp oyster sauce

Cooking Instructions
Step 1
Let’s get started on making a delicious Chicken Rice Bowl! Experience the joy of transforming leftover chicken from your fridge into a wonderful meal.
Step 2
First, place about 1.5 bowls of warm, freshly cooked rice into a wide pan or wok. Then, cut your leftover chicken into bite-sized pieces and add it to the pan. If you’re using seasoned chicken, be sure to scrape in all the leftover sauce too. If you only have plain fried chicken, don’t worry! You can marinate chicken thigh or breast meat with soy sauce and pepper, then fry or bake it to use in this recipe.
Step 3
Now, it’s time to add the seasonings that will enhance the flavor of your rice bowl. Add 1 tablespoon of oyster sauce and 1 tablespoon of soy sauce. For a nutty aroma, add a pinch of sesame seeds, and for a refreshing twist, add finely chopped dill pickles. (If you don’t have dill pickles, finely chopped sweet pickled radish, or ‘danmuji’, also works well.) Gently mix everything together with a spatula, being careful not to mash the rice grains. Stir-frying over low heat will result in fluffy rice and well-blended flavors.
Step 4
Let’s make the scrambled eggs to add a creamy texture to your rice bowl. Crack 3 eggs into a bowl and whisk them well. Then, lightly oil a pan and cook the eggs over low heat, stirring gently with chopsticks to create fluffy scrambled eggs. The key is to cook them until they are soft and fluffy.
Step 5
Sprinkle a pinch of black pepper over the stir-fried rice to eliminate any gamey odors and give it another quick stir. Finally, artfully arrange the fluffy scrambled eggs you prepared earlier on top of the rice. Your delicious Chicken Rice Bowl is now complete!
Step 6
Behold this colorful and appetizing Chicken Rice Bowl! Thanks to your leftover chicken, a fantastic meal is ready. Enjoy a satisfying and flavorful meal with the combination of warm rice, tender chicken, and soft eggs.
