Better than takeout! This one-pan wonder uses day-old rice (the secret to perfect fried rice) and whatever protein and veggies you have on hand. Maste

Ingredients

• 3 cups cooked rice (day-old is best!)
• 2 chicken thighs or 1 breast, diced
• 2 eggs, beaten
• 1 cup mixed vegetables (peas, carrots, corn)
• 3 cloves garlic, minced
• 3 green onions, sliced
• 3 tablespoons soy sauce
• 1 tablespoon oyster sauce (optional but recommended)
• 1 teaspoon sesame oil
• 3 tablespoons vegetable oil
• White pepper to taste
• Salt to taste

Instructions

1. IMPORTANT: Use day-old rice! Fresh rice is too moist. If using fresh rice, spread it on a plate to cool and dry out for 30 minutes.
2. Heat 1 tablespoon oil in a large wok or skillet over high heat. Scramble the eggs, breaking them into small pieces. Remove and set aside.
3. Add another tablespoon of oil. Cook diced chicken until golden and cooked through, about 5-6 minutes. Remove and set aside.
4. Add final tablespoon of oil. Toss in garlic and white parts of green onions, stir-fry for 30 seconds.
5. Add rice to the wok, breaking up any clumps. Stir-fry for 3-4 minutes until rice is heated through and slightly crispy.
6. Add vegetables, chicken, and eggs back to the wok.
7. Pour in soy sauce, oyster sauce, and sesame oil. Toss everything together for 2 minutes.
8. Add green onion tops, give it one final toss, and serve hot!
