Ingredients
  

2 cups cooked jasmine rice (preferably day-old)

2 chicken breasts, diced

1 cup mixed vegetables (peas, carrots, corn)

3 green onions, thinly sliced

3 cloves garlic, minced

2 tablespoons soy sauce

1 tablespoon oyster sauce

1 tablespoon teriyaki sauce

1 tablespoon sesame oil

2 eggs, beaten

2 tablespoons vegetable oil

Salt and pepper to taste

Toasted sesame seeds, for garnish

Nori strips, for garnish (optional)

Instructions
 

Marinate the Chicken: In a bowl, combine the diced chicken with 1 tablespoon soy sauce, 1 tablespoon teriyaki sauce, and a pinch of pepper. Let it marinate for at least 15 minutes.

    Prepare the Rice: If not using day-old rice, spread freshly cooked rice on a baking sheet to cool. This helps prevent clumping during cooking.

      Cook the Chicken: Heat 1 tablespoon of vegetable oil in a large skillet or wok over medium-high heat. Add the marinated chicken and cook until golden brown and cooked through, about 5-7 minutes. Remove the chicken from the skillet and set it aside.

        Sauté Aromatics: In the same skillet, add the remaining tablespoon of vegetable oil. Add minced garlic and sauté for about 30 seconds until fragrant.

          Add Vegetables and Eggs: Toss in the mixed vegetables and cook for another 2-3 minutes. Push everything to one side of the pan, and pour the beaten eggs into the cleared side. Scramble the eggs until fully cooked and then incorporate them with the vegetables.

            Fry the Rice: Add the cooked jasmine rice to the skillet, breaking up any clumps. Drizzle with sesame oil, oyster sauce, and the remaining soy sauce. Stir everything together, ensuring the rice gets evenly coated and heated through.

              Combine Ingredients: Return the cooked chicken to the skillet, mix well, and cook for an additional 2-3 minutes. Adjust seasoning with salt and pepper as needed.

                Finish and Garnish: Stir in the sliced green onions, saving a few for garnish. Remove from heat and transfer to a serving dish. Top with toasted sesame seeds and optional nori strips for an extra touch.
