Ingredients

Original recipe (1X) yields 4 servings

  • 1 pound boneless chicken thighs, cut into 1/3-inch pieces across the grain

  • 2 tablespoons light soy sauce

  • 2 tablespoons brown sugar

  • ¼ teaspoon ground black pepper

  • 2 tablespoons vegetable oil

  • ¼ cup chopped onion

  • 4 cloves garlic, chopped

  • 2 eggs, beaten

  • 3 tablespoons light soy sauce

  • 1 teaspoon white sugar

  • 1 teaspoon ground white pepper

  • 4 cups leftover cooked rice

  • ¼ cup thinly sliced green onions

  • ¼ cup chopped cilantro

Directions

  1. Combine chicken thighs, 2 tablespoons soy sauce, brown sugar, and black pepper in a bowl. Cover and marinate in the refrigerator, 2 hours to overnight.

  2. Heat a wok or very large skillet over high heat for 30 seconds. Pour in vegetable oil. Reduce heat to medium; add onion and garlic. Cook and stir until fragrant, about 2 minutes.

  3. Increase heat to high and add marinated chicken to the wok; cook, stirring constantly, until no longer pink, about 4 minutes.

  4. Push chicken mixture to one side of the wok; pour eggs into the empty side. Cook until just starting to set, about 2 minutes. Stir eggs slowly until scrambled; mix into chicken mixture. Season with 3 tablespoons soy sauce, sugar, and white pepper; stir for 1 minute.

  5. Stir rice into the wok until evenly incorporated and heated through, about 4 minutes. Remove from heat; stir in green onion and cilantro. Mix gently until combined.

Cook's Note:

Substitute soy sauce for light soy sauce if desired.
