Chicken Fried Rice

Recipe Directions

1. For best results, take the chicken out of the refrigerator 10 minutes before starting to cook. If you skip this step, you may need to cook the duck longer than this recipe card indicates.
2. Fill a saucepot 2/3 full with water. Add 1 tbsp of salt to the pot. Put the pot on the stove over high heat - you will use this to poach the eggs in step #7.
3. While you are waiting for the water to boil, heat a skillet or sauté pan over high heat for 2 minutes. When the pan has warmed up, add 1 tbsp of oil or enough to coat the bottom of the pan. Add the teriyaki chicken (a) to the pan. Cook for 90 seconds without stirring, then turn the pieces of chicken over and cook for 90 seconds, stirring occasionally. (If you are preparing 4+ servings, cook the chicken for 2 minutes on each side).
4. Next add the vegetables (b) to the pan with the chicken. Cook for 1 minute, stirring constantly. Remove the pan from the heat. Add 1/2 of the seasoning sauce (c) to the pan. Stir vigorously to incorporate the ingredients together and then pour the mixture into a mixing bowl.
5. Wipe out the pan with a paper towel and put back on the stovetop over high heat. Add 2 tsp of olive oil (per 2 servings) to the pan, and then add the jasmine rice (d). Cook for 1 minute, stirring constantly.
6. After 1 minute, pour the remaining seasoning sauce over the rice. Stir for 30 seconds. Add the rice to the bowl of chicken and vegetables. Mix with a wooden spoon. Taste and add salt and pepper if you wish.
7. Prepare to poach the eggs. Crack the first egg (e) into a small cup. Take a slotted spoon and carefully swirl it around in the pot of boiling water. Using your other hand, gently drop the egg from the cup into the pot in one fluid motion and then turn the heat down to medium-low. Crack the second egg into the same cup and repeat the process for all of the eggs.
8. Let the eggs sit in the water for 3 minutes. While the eggs are cooking, spoon the chicken fried rice into your serving bowls.
9. After 3 minutes, use the slotted spoon to remove the eggs individually from the pot and let them drain in the spoon for a few seconds. Serve on top of the chicken fried rice. Drizzle the teriyaki sauce (f) over the dish.
