  • Total Time: 30 minutes
  • Yield: 4 servings

Ingredients

Marinade

  • 8 oz ground chicken
  • 2 teaspoons Shaoxing wine
  • 2 teaspoons soy sauce
  • 1/4 teaspoon salt
  • 1/2 teaspoon grated ginger

Fried Rice

  • 3 tablespoons vegetable oil
  • 1 tablespoon ginger, minced
  • 3 eggs, beaten with a pinch of salt
  • 4 scallions, sliced (white and green parts separated)
  • 4 cups overnight jasmine rice, fluffed with your hands to separate the grains
  • 1/2 teaspoon salt

Instructions

  1. Marinate the Chicken: In a bowl, combine the ground chicken with Shaoxing wine, soy sauce, salt, and grated ginger. Mix well and allow to marinate for at least 10 minutes, letting the flavors infuse.
  2. Prepare the Eggs: Heat 1 tablespoon of vegetable oil in a large skillet or wok over medium-high heat. Pour in the beaten eggs with a pinch of salt and scramble until just set. Remove from the skillet and set aside.
  3. Sauté Ginger and Scallions: Add the remaining 2 tablespoons of vegetable oil to the skillet. Once hot, add the minced ginger and the white parts of the scallions. Stir-fry for about 1 minute until fragrant.
  4. Cook the Marinated Chicken: Add the marinated ground chicken to the skillet. Stir-fry for 3-5 minutes, breaking it up with a spatula, until the chicken is fully cooked.
  5. Add Rice and Seasoning: Add the fluffed jasmine rice to the skillet along with 1/2 teaspoon salt. Stir well to combine with the chicken, ginger, and scallions. Cook for 3-4 minutes, allowing the rice to heat through and slightly crisp in places.
  6. Combine Eggs and Green Scallions: Return the scrambled eggs to the skillet and add the green parts of the scallions. Toss everything together until evenly mixed and heated through.
  7. Serve: Remove from heat and serve hot for a delicious and satisfying meal.

Notes

  • Using overnight jasmine rice helps to achieve the perfect texture by preventing clumping and excess moisture.
  • You can substitute ground chicken with ground turkey or pork if preferred.
  • Adjust soy sauce and salt to taste based on dietary preferences.
  • Shrimp or vegetables like peas and carrots can be added to enhance the dish further.
  • Ensure the pan is hot enough for stir-frying to get that slightly crispy texture on the rice.
