Ingredients
- 300 g rice Basmati
- 500 g chicken breast Boneless, skinless
- 3 tbsp oil
- 1 onion Chopped
- 2 garlic cloves Minced
- 2 carrots Peeled, diced
- 100 g peas Frozen
- 2 eggs Lightly beaten
- 4 tbsp soy sauce
- salt To taste
- black pepper To taste
- Coriander Optional, garnish
Instructions
- Begin by rinsing the rice in a sieve and placing it in a saucepan with 600ml of cold water. Bring the mixture to a boil, then reduce it to a simmer.
- Cover the saucepan and let it cook for 10-12 minutes or until the rice becomes tender and the water is fully absorbed.
- Afterward, take it off the heat and let it rest for 5 minutes before fluffing it with a fork. Set it aside.
- While the rice is cooking, preheat a grill or grill pan to medium-high heat. Season the chicken with salt and pepper and grill each side for approximately 5-6 minutes or until fully cooked.
- Once it's done, let it cool for a few minutes before using a fork to shred it.
- Heat oil in a large frying pan or wok over high heat. Add the onion and garlic and stir-fry for 1-2 minutes until soft and aromatic.
- Next, add the carrots and stir-fry for an additional 3-4 minutes or until they begin to soften.
- Push the vegetables to one side of the pan and pour the beaten eggs into the other side.
- Scramble them for around 30 seconds until they are fully cooked, then mix them in with the vegetables.
- Add the shredded chicken and frozen peas to the pan and stir-fry for another 2-3 minutes or until the peas are heated through.
- Finally, add the cooked rice and soy sauce to the pan and stir-fry for another 3-4 minutes or until the rice is fully coated and heated through. Taste and adjust seasoning with salt and pepper, if needed.
- Serve the dish hot, garnished with fresh coriander if desired.
Notes
- If you don't have a wok, you can use a large non-stick frying pan instead.
- You can substitute the chicken with prawns, beef or tofu if preferred.
