Ingredients (chicken):

  • 2 chicken thighs
  • 2 Tbsp Shaoxing Wine
  • 1 Tbsp soy sauce
  • 2 tsp ground ginger
  • 2 tsp garlic powder
  • 1 tsp salt

Recommended marinade time, 45 min or overnight (optimal)

Ingredients (rice):

  • 1 cup rice
  • Chicken broth (for cooking rice, optional)
  • ½ onion (diced)
  • 2 cloves garlic (minced)

  • 1 Tbsp soy sauce
  • 1 Tbsp sambal oelek

Instructions:

  1. Add vegetable oil to seasoned wok on medium-high heat.
  2. Once wok is smoking, add egg, cook until bubbles are seen from the side.
  3. Flip eggs, cook for 10 more seconds.
  4. Cut the now solid disk of egg into manageable pieces small enough to mix into the rice at the end.

  6. Once wok is smoking a bit, add marinated chicken, cook until brown.
  7. Flip chicken, cook until other side is brown.
  8. Optional: toss the chicken to get a bit of browning around the rest of the chicken.
  9. Cook rice (optionally with chicken broth).
