Ingredients

  • 8 ounces chicken breast (shrimp, beef, pork or tofu, cut into bite-sized pieces)
  • kosher salt (and black pepper, to taste)
  • 4 teaspoons vegetable oil (divided )
  • 3 cups cooked jasmine rice (white or brown is fine)
  • 1/2 large onion (chopped)
  • 3 cloves garlic (minced)
  • 2 scallions (chopped, plus more for garnish)
  • 1 large egg (beaten)
  • 3 large egg whites (beaten (you can also just use 2 large whole eggs total))
  • 2 medium tomatoes (sliced into wedges)
  • 2 to 3 Thai chili peppers (optional for heat)
  • 4 teaspoons soy sauce (or tamari for gluten free)
  • 2 teaspoons fish sauce

Method

  1. Heat a large nonstick wok over high heat.
  2. Meanwhile, season the chicken or protein of choice lightly with salt and pepper.
  3. When the wok is very hot, add 2 tsp of the oil. When the oil is hot, add the chicken and cook on high until its browned all over and cooked through, about 3-4 minutes. Set aside.
  4. Reduce heat and add the eggs and egg whites to the wok with a pinch of salt and cook 1 to 2 minutes, until scrambled. Set aside.
  5. Add the remaining oil to the wok and add the onion, scallions and garlic. Saute 1 minute, add the chili pepper if using, tomatoes and stir in all the rice.
  6. Add the soy sauce and fish sauce, stir to mix all the ingredients and cook, stirring 2 to 3 minutes.
  7. Return the egg and chicken back to the wok. Adjust soy sauce and salt as needed and stir well another 30 seconds.
