Ingredients:
- 1.5 cups (350g) cooked chicken breast
- 1.5 cups (225g) cooked white rice
- 1 tbsp (15ml) vegetable oil
- 0.5 cup (60g) sliced carrots
- 0.25 cup (15g) sliced scallions
- 1 tsp (5g) fresh ginger, grated
- 2 tbsp (30ml) soy sauce
- 1 tbsp (15ml) brown sugar
- 1 tsp (5ml) toasted sesame oil
- 1 tsp (5g) cornstarch
- 1 tbsp (15ml) water
Instructions:
- Combine the soy sauce, brown sugar, sesame oil, cornstarch, and water in a small bowl. Whisk until the cornstarch is fully dissolved and the mixture is smooth.
- Heat the vegetable oil in a large non stick skillet or wok over medium high heat until it shimmers.
- Add the leftover cooked chicken and rice to the skillet. Toss frequently for 3-4 minutes until the edges of the meat become crispy and the rice smells toasted.
- Add the grated ginger and sliced carrots. Stir fry for 60 seconds until the vegetables are bright but still crisp.
- Pour the stir fry sauce over the mixture. Stir constantly for 1-2 minutes until the sauce bubbles and transforms into a thick, glossy glaze that coats the ingredients evenly.
- Remove from heat immediately to prevent the sauce from becoming tacky and sticky.
- Garnish with sliced scallions.
- Serve immediately while the textures are contrasting.
