A flavorful twist on classic Hainanese chicken rice, stir-fried with eggs, aromatic seasonings, and tender chicken, creating a savory and satisfying dish perfect for a quick meal.


Ingredients

Units Scale
  • 2 cups cooked Hainanese chicken rice (preferably day-old)
  • 1 cup cooked chicken, shredded or diced
  • 2 eggs, beaten
  • 2 tablespoons vegetable oil
  • 2 cloves garlic, minced
  • 1 tablespoon soy sauce
  • 1 teaspoon oyster sauce
  • 1/2 teaspoon sesame oil
  • 1/2 teaspoon white pepper
  • 1/2 cup chopped bok choy or green onions
  • 1/2 teaspoon dark soy sauce (for color, optional)

Instructions

  1. Prepare the Ingredients

    • Ensure the cooked Hainanese rice is chilled and loosened for best frying results.
    • Dice or shred the cooked chicken.
  2. Scramble the Eggs

    • Heat 1 tablespoon of oil in a wok or skillet over medium heat.
    • Pour in the beaten eggs and scramble until just set.
    • Remove and set aside.
  3. Sauté the Aromatics

    • In the same pan, add the remaining oil and sauté garlic until fragrant.
  4. Stir-Fry the Rice

    • Increase heat to high and add the cooked rice.
    • Stir-fry for 2-3 minutes, ensuring the grains are evenly coated with oil.
  5. Add Chicken & Seasoning

    • Toss in the cooked chicken, soy sauce, oyster sauce, white pepper, and dark soy sauce (if using).
    • Stir well to coat everything in the seasoning.
  6. Mix in the Eggs & Veggies

    • Return the scrambled eggs to the pan along with bok choy or green onions.
    • Stir-fry for another 2 minutes until everything is well combined.
  7. Serve & Enjoy

    • Plate the fried rice hot, garnished with extra green onions or sesame seeds, if desired.

Notes

  • Best Rice for Fried Rice: Day-old rice works best as it is drier and fries up nicely.
  • Protein Variations: Substitute chicken with shrimp, tofu, or beef for variety.
  • Extra Flavor Boost: Add a dash of fish sauce or a drizzle of chili oil for extra depth.
