  • Heat 1-tablespoon oil in the skillet and add the diced onion, carrot, scallions and garlic. Cook, stirring continuously, 2-3 minutes or until carrots are just lightly tender and onions are translucent.
  • Add the rice and peas and stir to combine.
  • Add the cooked chicken, soy sauce, sesame oil and mirin, stir and cook another 2 minutes.
  • Season to taste with kosher salt and freshly ground black pepper.
  • Push the chicken rice mixture to the sides of the skillet and add 1-teaspoon oil to the middle of the skillet.
  • Add the lightly beaten eggs and season with salt & pepper. Scramble the eggs and stir to combine with the chicken/rice mixture.
  • Cook, stirring continuously, 3-4 minutes, to give time for the flavors to meld.
  • Serve immediately and...
  • Enjoy!
