Chicken Fried Rice
A timeless favorite across Asian kitchens, Chicken Fried Rice is a deliciously simple yet satisfying dish — fluffy rice stir-fried with juicy chicken, crisp vegetables, and aromatic seasonings that deliver savory, comforting flavor in every bite.
The dish starts with long-grain or basmati rice, cooked just right — fluffy but slightly firm so each grain stays separate during stir-frying. Bite-sized pieces of chicken are marinated lightly with salt, pepper, or a splash of soy sauce, then stir-fried until tender and slightly golden for a burst of savory goodness.
Crisp, colorful vegetables — usually carrots, cabbage, spring onions, peas, and sometimes capsicum — add crunch and freshness that balance the richness of the chicken and rice perfectly. Beaten eggs may be scrambled into the rice for extra texture and a touch of creaminess.
Everything is tossed together in a hot wok with garlic, ginger, soy sauce, and a hint of pepper, giving the rice its classic savory, smoky flavor. A drizzle of sesame oil can add a final nutty aroma, while fresh chopped spring onions brighten it up just before serving.
Served steaming hot, Chicken Fried Rice is delicious on its own or as the perfect companion to chili chicken, stir-fried vegetables, momos, or your favorite Indo-Chinese sides — a comforting, crowd-pleasing meal that never disappoints.
