Instructions
- Cook the rice the day before according to the instructions on its packaging, drain and refrigerate.
- In a bowl, combine the chicken, red pepper, ginger, black pepper, and 5 tablespoons of sauce. Mix.
- Cover, refrigerate, and marinate for 2 hours.
- Meanwhile, prepare an omelet by beating eggs and salt in a large bowl until fluffy.
- Heat 2 tablespoons of butter (or margarine) in a frying pan and lightly brown it.
- Pour half of the omelet mixture into the pan and cook.
- Tilt the pan and lift the edges to allow the eggs to cook evenly.
- When the bottom of the omelet is golden brown, flip quickly. Continue cooking until the consistency is light and fluffy.
- Remove from the skillet and repeat the same process with the second half of butter (or margarine) and eggs.
- Cut the two omelets into small pieces and set aside.
- Place a wok over high heat and add half the oil and lightly smoke.
- Using a slotted spoon, scoop out half of the chicken mixture from the bowl and add it to the wok. Distribute it evenly throughout the wok and let it set for 1 minute.
- Then grab the other side. Stir, cover and cook for an additional 3 minutes or until the chicken is no longer pink. Remove and keep warm.
- Repeat with remaining oil and chicken, reserving excess marinade.
- Add the other half of the chicken mixture to the wok and mix well.
- Add the rice and mix well.
- Add the remaining soy sauce, omelet, scallions, reserved marinade and mix well again.
- Cover and cook for 2 minutes or until very hot.
- Serve immediately.
