Fried Rice Base

Proteins: Chicken

Proteins: Tofu

Method

Overview & Prep

  1. 1

    Prep all components

    Ensure the rice is cooked and cooled, vegetables are ready, and proteins are prepared (chicken marinated, tofu marinating or ready to coat).

  2. 2

    Mise en place

    Have all ingredients measured and within reach before cooking.

Fried Rice Base

  1. 3

    Scramble eggs

    Heat a large skillet or wok over medium heat, add a small amount of neutral oil, pour in beaten eggs, scramble until just set, then remove to a plate.

  2. 4

    Stir-fry vegetables

    Add the remaining neutral oil to the pan. Add minced garlic, diced carrot, and frozen peas; stir-fry 2-3 minutes until carrots are tender-crisp.

  3. 5

    Add aromatics

    Return eggs to the pan. Add cooked jasmine rice; break up clumps with a spatula.

  4. 6

    Season

    Stir in sesame oil, light soy sauce, and rice vinegar if using. Season with salt and pepper to taste.

  5. 7

    Finish with greens

    Scatter chopped green onions over the fried rice and toss to combine. Keep warm.

Proteins: Chicken

  1. 8

    Marinate chicken

    Slice chicken breast. In a bowl, mix soy sauce, minced garlic, and minced ginger. Add chicken and toss to coat; let sit for 15 minutes.

  2. 9

    Cook chicken

    Heat a skillet over medium-high heat with a tablespoon of neutral oil. Remove chicken from marinade (reserve marinade) and sear until cooked through, about 5-7 minutes. Optional: toss back with reserved marinade and simmer 1-2 minutes to glaze.

  3. 10

    Rest & slice

    Let the chicken rest 5 minutes, then slice into strips for bowls.

Proteins: Tofu

  1. 11

    Prepare tofu

    Pat tofu dry; cut into cubes. In a small bowl, whisk soy sauce and rice vinegar; toss tofu with marinade and let sit 10 minutes.

  2. 12

    Crisp tofu

    Toss marinated tofu in cornstarch until lightly coated. Heat sesame oil in a nonstick skillet over medium-high heat. Fry tofu pieces until golden and crisp on all sides, about 6-8 minutes.

Assembly

  1. 13

    Portion bowls

    Divide fried rice among bowls as the base.

  2. 14

    Top with proteins

    Arrange chicken slices and/or tofu on top of the fried rice.

  3. 15

    Garnish

    Finish with extra sliced green onions, sesame seeds, and optional chili flakes.
