Let’s make a delicious chicken rice bowl using leftover chicken. It’s a simple and satisfying meal that’s perfect for utilizing any extra fried chicken you might have.
Ingredients- Leftover chicken (any kind: sauced or plain fried)
- 1.5 bowls of warm rice
- 1 Tbsp oyster sauce
- 1 Tbsp soy sauce
- A pinch of sesame seeds
- A pinch of black pepper
- 1 Tbsp stir-fried onion (optional)
- 3 eggs
Cooking Instructions
Step 1
Let’s start making a fantastic chicken rice bowl using your leftover chicken! This golden recipe is incredibly easy to follow, even for beginners.
Step 2
First, prepare about 1.5 bowls of warm rice. For the leftover chicken, remove the bones and shred or chop it into bite-sized pieces (about 2-3 cm). If you have leftover sauced chicken, don’t discard the sauce – we’ll be adding all of it to the rice. If you only have plain fried chicken, the combination of soy sauce and oyster sauce will still create a delicious flavor.
Step 3
Heat a pan over medium heat. Add the warm rice, the chopped chicken, and any leftover chicken sauce (if you have it). Now, add 1 tablespoon of oyster sauce and 1 tablespoon of soy sauce. If you like, you can also add 1 tablespoon of stir-fried chopped onion for extra flavor and texture. Gently mix everything together with a spatula, stirring as you cook. The goal is to get the rice slightly fluffy and well-coated. Keep stir-frying until the rice is nicely combined with the chicken and sauces.
Step 4
While the rice is stir-frying, or in a separate pan, let’s make scrambled eggs. Whisk the 3 eggs in a bowl, then pour them into the heated pan. Use a chopstick or spoon to gently scramble the eggs until they are soft and just cooked. It’s best to take them off the heat when they are still slightly moist.
Step 5
Sprinkle a pinch of black pepper over the stir-fried rice mixture to enhance its aroma. Finally, carefully place the prepared scrambled eggs on top of the chicken rice. Congratulations, your delicious chicken rice bowl made from leftovers is complete! All the ingredients come together to create a wonderful and satisfying meal.
Step 6
Behold the transformation of leftover chicken into a wonderful chicken rice bowl! It’s quick, easy, and incredibly delicious, making it an ideal lunch or dinner option. Enjoy your meal!
