Steps

• Cook the Rice
• Cook the rice according to the package instructions. Once cooked, spread it on a baking sheet and let it cool completely.
• Marinate the Chicken
• In a bowl, combine the chicken pieces, soy sauce, minced garlic, grated ginger, salt, and black pepper. Mix well and let it marinate for 10 minutes.
• Cook the Chicken
• Heat a large skillet or wok over medium-high heat. Add vegetable oil and swirl to coat the pan.
• Add the marinated chicken to the hot pan and cook until it is no longer pink in the center, about 5-6 minutes. Remove the chicken from the pan and set aside.
• Cook the Vegetables
• In the same pan, add the diced carrots, peas, bell pepper, and onion. Stir-fry for 3-4 minutes until the vegetables are tender-crisp.
• Combine Everything
• Push the vegetables to one side of the pan and add the cooled rice to the other side. Pour soy sauce over the rice and stir-fry for 2-3 minutes to heat everything through.
• Add the cooked chicken back to the pan and stir-fry for another 2 minutes to combine all the flavors.
• Season and Serve
• Season the fried rice with salt and black pepper to taste. Stir well to distribute the seasoning evenly.
• Remove from heat and serve hot. Optionally, garnish with chopped green onions or cilantro.

Tips

• Use day-old cooked rice for the best texture in fried rice.
• Feel free to add other vegetables like broccoli, corn, or mushrooms to customize the dish.
