Instructions
Creating High Protein Crispy Garlic Chicken Fried Rice is easy when you follow these straightforward steps:
1. Prepare Ingredients: Gather all ingredients and ensure your cooked rice is cold and clumpy. This will help achieve crispy fried rice.
2. Cook Chicken: In a large skillet or wok, heat 1 tablespoon of vegetable oil over medium-high heat. Add the diced chicken and cook until browned and cooked through, about 5-7 minutes. Season with salt and pepper. Remove chicken from the pan and set aside.
3. Sauté Garlic: In the same pan, add another tablespoon of vegetable oil. Add minced garlic and sauté for about 30 seconds until fragrant, being careful not to burn it.
4. Add Vegetables: Toss in the mixed vegetables and stir-fry for about 3-4 minutes until they are tender.
5. Push to Side: Push the vegetable mixture to one side of the pan. Pour the beaten eggs into the empty side and scramble until fully cooked.
6. Combine Ingredients: Add the cooked chicken back into the pan along with the cold jasmine rice. Break up any clumps of rice with a spatula.
7. Season the Rice: Drizzle in the soy sauce and oyster sauce (if using). Add sesame oil and mix everything thoroughly. Stir-fry for about 5 minutes until the rice is heated through and slightly crispy.
8. Garnish and Serve: Remove from heat and garnish with chopped green onions and sesame seeds before serving.
