Yield 4 servings

Number Of Ingredients 15

1/4 cup vegetable oil, divided
4 scallions, sliced on the bias, divided
1 pound chicken cutlets, cut into 1/2" slices
1 1/4 teaspoon kosher salt, divided
1/2 teaspoon freshly ground black pepper
2 garlic cloves, finely grated or pressed
1 teaspoon finely grated ginger
1 bunch broccolini (about 6 ounces), ends trimmed, sliced in half lengthwise if stalks are thick
4 cups cooked white rice (preferably day-old, long-or medium-grain)
3 large eggs, beaten to blend
1 cup snow peas
1/2 cup frozen edamame or green peas
3 tablespoons low-sodium soy sauce or tamari
2 tablespoons fresh orange juice (from about 1/2 orange)
Chili or sesame oil (optional; for serving)

Steps:

  • Heat 1 Tbsp. oil in a large nonstick or cast-iron skillet or wok over high. Reserve about 2 Tbsp. sliced scallion greens; add remaining scallions to oil and cook, tossing occasionally, about 1 minute. Add chicken, 1 tsp. salt, and pepper and cook, stirring, about 2 minutes. Stir in garlic and ginger, then add broccolini and toss until incorporated. Cover and cook until chicken is cooked through and broccolini is tender, 2-3 minutes more. Transfer to a large bowl.
  • Heat remaining 3 Tbsp. oil in skillet over high. Add rice and remaining 1/4 tsp. salt, toss to coat, then press rice into a single layer, and cook, undisturbed, until crisped on the bottom, about 2 minutes. Move rice to one-half of skillet and add eggs to other half. Cook, stirring gently to form curds, until soft set and just cooked through, about 1 minute, then fold into rice.
  • Fold in snow peas, edamame, soy sauce, and orange juice. Cook, tossing, until warmed through, about 1 minute. Add chicken mixture and toss to combine. Divide among plates, then top with reserved 2 Tbsp. scallions. Drizzle with chili or sesame oil, if using.

This recipe is a bit too bland for my taste. I added some extra soy sauce and garlic, which helped to improve the flavor.

The chicken in this fried rice was a bit dry, but the flavor was good. I'll try using a different cut of chicken next time.

I'm not a big fan of broccolini, so I substituted it with snap peas. It turned out great!

The fried rice was good, but the chicken was a bit dry. I think I'll try using chicken thighs next time.

This fried rice was a hit with my family! The chicken was tender and juicy, the broccolini was crisp-tender, and the rice was perfectly cooked. I especially liked the addition of the oyster sauce, which gave the dish a delicious umami flavor.
