Main Ingredients- Chicken breast with chili pepper flavor 100g
- 1/4 onion
- A little carrot (approx. 20g)
- 1/2 king oyster mushroom
- A little zucchini (approx. 30g)
- 1 Tbsp perilla oil
- 1 egg
- 1 Tbsp soy sauce
- 2 pinches of salt
Cooking Instructions
Step 1
First, finely chop the chicken breast into bite-sized pieces (about 1cm). Similarly, finely chop the carrot, onion, zucchini, and king oyster mushroom into similar sizes. This will make the fried rice look more appealing.
Step 2
Heat 1 tablespoon of perilla oil in a pan over medium-low heat and sauté the onion until fragrant. Once the onion becomes translucent, add all the prepared vegetables (carrot, zucchini, king oyster mushroom) and stir-fry together. Add a pinch of salt at this stage to enhance the natural sweetness of the vegetables and season lightly.
Step 3
Once the vegetables are partially cooked, add the chopped chicken breast and stir-fry quickly over high heat. Continue to stir-fry until the chicken breast turns white; this helps to preserve the natural flavors of the ingredients.
Step 4
Push the stir-fried ingredients to one side of the pan. Pour 1 tablespoon of soy sauce into the empty space. Let it sizzle and develop a subtle smoky flavor for about 10 seconds as it lightly caramelizes, then mix it thoroughly with the other ingredients to add depth of flavor.
Step 5
Now it’s time to add the rice. Turn off the heat temporarily. Add one bowl of cooked rice and gently break up any clumps with a spatula, ensuring the rice grains are separated. Once the rice is loosened, turn the heat back up to high and stir-fry quickly until the rice grains become fluffy and slightly toasted. This process ensures that each grain of rice is well-coated with the seasoning, resulting in even more delicious fried rice.
Step 6
Finally, drizzle a little perilla oil for a nutty aroma and mix lightly to finish. Transfer the fried rice to a serving plate. In the same pan, add a little cooking oil and fry an egg to your liking. Sprinkle a pinch of salt over the fried egg to complete your perfect chicken breast fried rice. Enjoy your meal!
