Chaufas Ingredients

Method

Cooking Directions

  1. 1

    Prepare the Ingredients

    Gather all the ingredients. If using beef or chicken, cut them into bite-sized pieces. If using seafood, ensure it's cleaned and prepared.

  2. 2

    Cook the Protein

    In a large skillet or wok, heat 1 tablespoon of oil over medium-high heat. Add your chosen protein and cook until browned and cooked through. Remove and set aside.

  3. 3

    Sauté Vegetables

    In the same skillet, add the remaining tablespoon of oil. Add the diced onion, garlic, and bell pepper, and sauté until the vegetables are soft and translucent.

  4. 4

    Combine Ingredients

    Add the cooked rice to the skillet and stir well to combine with the vegetables. Pour in the soy sauce, and mix thoroughly.

  5. 5

    Add Protein and Eggs

    Return the cooked protein to the skillet. Push the rice mixture to the side and pour the beaten eggs into the empty space. Scramble the eggs until cooked, then mix everything together.

  6. 6

    Season and Serve

    Season with salt and pepper to taste. Stir in chopped green onions. Serve hot.
