  • Add the rice and garlic, mixing constantly using a “shoveling” motion (This is to keep the rice from sticking to the bottom of the pan).
  • Add the other ingredients EXCEPT eggs, soy sauce, salt, and pepper.
  • Keep “shoveling” until well mixed.
  • Push the rice to one side and drop the beaten eggs into the pan. Let the eggs cook, scrambling them with a spatula. Mix them into the rice.
  • Add the soy sauce, salt, and white pepper and mix well. Serve hot.

Notes

To make this dish healthier, try adding vegetables to the stir-fried chicken. In addition to chicken, broccoli, cauliflower, water chestnuts, and other vegetables are great for this dish. To add extra flavor to the dish, you can add egg and vegetables. During the last step of cooking, ensure that the chicken is thoroughly cooked before removing the skin from the breast. A little salt and pepper are fine. However, you can use white pepper to make this dish more authentic.
