█ Chicken Fried Rice Recipe █

Ingredients:
• 1 Chicken thigh, diced
• 1 Egg, whisked
• 2 cloves Garlic, minced
• 1 inch knob of Ginger, minced
• ½ Yellow Onion, diced
• 1 Carrot, diced
• ½ cup frozen Peas
• 1 cup day old Rice
• 1 TBSP Rice Wine Vinegar
• 1 TBSP Soy Sauce

• Peanut oil for frying (canola or vegetable oil work too)
• Sesame or chili oil for finishing

Velvet / Marinade:
• ½ tsp Rice wine vinegar
• 1 TSP cornstarch
• Pinch of Salt
• 1 TSP soy sauce
• Pinch of Sugar
• ½ TSP peanut oil (canola or vegetable oil work too)

Method:
1. Prepare all the main ingredients to the same size (match your protein to your vegetables).
- My preferred texture is diced proteins and vegetables though you could do slivers and cubes
if you would like.

2 . Velvet your meat. Add the diced chicken thigh, rice wine, cornstarch, salt, soy sauce and sugar and mix.Once combined add the dash of oil. Cover and put in the fridge for 20-30 minutes

3. Cook chicken with the oil pass through method. Add enough oil to your wok or pan to cover your protein. Bring the oil to 350 degrees F. Shallow fry the chicken for 20-30 seconds (time will be dependent on the size of your cut chicken). Turn the heat off.

4. Remove chicken to the side and drain excess oil.

5. Once the oil is drained (leaving a sheen on the wok), bring the wok back to high heat and add in the egg and scramble until light and fluffy - around 30 seconds. Remove the egg to the side and put heat to low.

6. Add a drizzle of peanut oil to the pan if needed. Bring the heat back to high heat and add in the ginger and garlic. Saute until fragrant being careful not to burn.

7. Add in the rice wine vinegar (or other acid source) to the pan and let steam.

8. Stir fry all the ingredients: Add in the onions and fry for 30-45 seconds. Add the carrots and stir fry for 30-45 seconds. Add in the rice and fry for 45-60 seconds. Drizzle in the soy sauce for seasoning. Add in the peas and stir fry for 30 seconds. Add back the chicken and egg and stir fry for a final 30-60 seconds.

9. Turn the heat off and add in a dash of finishing oil (sesame or chili) to stir in.

10. Add an toppings you would like such as green onions, sesame seeds, etc.

Enjoy!
