1 tablespoon soy sauce

1 teaspoon oyster sauce

1/2 teaspoon sesame oil

1/4 teaspoon black pepper

1/4 teaspoon red pepper flakes (adjust to taste)

2 cloves garlic, minced

1 inch piece of ginger, minced

1/2 cup green onions, chopped

1/2 cup peas, frozen or fresh

1/4 cup carrots, shredded

2 tablespoons vegetable oil

Preparation:

1. Prep the Chicken: Season the chicken with salt and pepper. Heat 1 tablespoon of vegetable oil in a large skillet or wok over medium-high heat. Add the chicken and cook until browned on all sides. Remove from the pan and set aside.
2. Scramble the Eggs: In a separate bowl, whisk the eggs with a pinch of salt and pepper. Heat the remaining 1 tablespoon of vegetable oil in the same skillet. Pour in the eggs and scramble them until just set. Remove from the pan and set aside.
3. Sauté the Aromatics: Add the minced garlic and ginger to the hot skillet. Sauté for 30 seconds, or until fragrant.
4. Combine the Ingredients: Add the cooked rice, peas, carrots, green onions, soy sauce, oyster sauce, sesame oil, black pepper, and red pepper flakes to the skillet. Stir to combine.
5. Create the Fried Rice: Push the rice mixture to the sides of the skillet, creating a well in the center. Pour in the beaten eggs and let them set slightly. Then, use a spatula to scramble the eggs and incorporate them into the rice mixture.
6. Add the Chicken and Serve: Add the cooked chicken to the skillet and stir to combine. Cook for an additional minute, or until heated through. Serve immediately, garnished with additional green onions and a drizzle of sesame oil.
