**INGREDIENTS FOR THE CHICKEN FRIED RICE [serve 1-2]**

**For the chicken marinade**
- 150 grams of chicken
- 1 tsp of corn starch
- 1 tsp of soy sauce
- 1 tsp of vegetable oil
- a pinch of baking soda(NOT BAKING POWDER Sorry for the audio mistake in the video)

**FOR THE STIR FRYING**
- 2 eggs
- 3 tbsp oil
- 2 cups of cooked rice
- 1 tbsp of minced garlic
- 1/4 cup of red onion
- 1/3 cup of green beans
- 1/2 cup of carrot
- 1/4 cup of spring onion

**FOR THE SEASONING**
- 1/4 tsp of salt or to taste
- pepper to taste

**HOW TO MAKE CHICKEN FRIED RICE**

- Cut the chicken into small pieces. Mix it with 1 tsp of corn starch, 1 tsp of soy sauce, 1 tsp of vegetable oil and a pinch of baking soda. Set it aside for 30 minutes.
- Crack 2 eggs. Beat it well.
- Heat up the wok. Add about 1 tbsp of vegetable oil. Give it a toss, so the bottom is coated nicely.
- Wait until there is smoke coming out. Pour in the egg. Will take about 30-50 seconds to get the it fluffy. Break it into small pieces and set it aside.
- Add more oil into the same wok. Heat it up and add in the chicken. Saute it about 1 or 2 minutes. Then push it to the side so you have room for the vegetables. Dump in all your veggies, which are 1 tbsp of minced garlic, 1/4 cup of onion, 1/3 cup of green beans and 1/2 cup of carrot. Stir-fry for 2 to 3 minutes.

- When the onion should be transparent, Add some salt to taste. Mix it well.
- Take it out.
- Next is the rice. Loosen up the rice before frying.
- Turn on the gas to high, Heat up the wok for about 15 seconds. Then add 2 tbsp of vegetable oil. Put in the rice right after that. Use your spatula to break down the big pieces.
- You need to stir fry this for 3-5 minutes. Then add in our seasoning, 1 tbsp of light soy sauce, 2 tsp of dark soy sauce.
- Now you really got to mix this. Do it fast. Because the wok is hot, the liquid will evaporate quickly- then you will never get to mix it evenly. Once can not see white rice, add in all the ingredients. Veggies, meat, oh and the egg...
- Toss everything together. Give them about 2 minutes to be infused with each other.
- Add in the spring onion right before serving.

This is definitely the best of the 17 fried rice videos I've watched so far.

This is exactly how a cooking video should be. A great recipe with simple ingredients. No irritating background music and a cheerful and happy smiling presenter. I love stir fry.

[kodiakfamily]

I'm 53 years old and I've been trying to make chicken stir fry rice on multiple occasions and it never worked out. I watched your video once, then went through it again to make it and it turned out delicious!!! Thank you! And I love your cheerful demeanor!

[jazoi]

I made this last week and my wife loved it! I'm allowed to cook again thank you 🤣

[SoupedUpRecipes]

Hey, everyone, thanks for watching. I want to correct a mistake in the video.
At 0:43 I said baking powder
At 0:51 I said baking soda
That was a mistake, I am so sorry. Please understand baking soda and baking powder are not the same thing, for this recipe, you need baking soda no baking powder.
Hope you enjoy=)

I like how you keep it simple without having a 5 minute conversation with yourself before the actual instructions. This is a great recipe for self quarantine.

[patrickfabian]

You did an excellent job on this video. Like the other person commented, no annoying background music, just you narrating your recipe step by step.... great job!

I made this last week and its the best chicken fried rice I have made. Fresh veg does make a difference (I had used frozen before) - and the chicken in cornstarch, oil, baking powder and soy is a good trick to make the chick succulent. I now use that for other recipes! (without the soy)

I love how everyone decides to make fried rice during quarantine

[rontaylor]

you really know how to make someone hungry near midnight 😭

[wrenching]

We make this fairly often. Our little tip is oyster sauce and sesame oil along with soy sauce. Hits a higher flavor profile. Thanks for the recipes

Looks amazing! I am starting to become addicted to this channel. Her presentation is just perfect, it leaves me feeling like I could actually do this. Well done!

[philomena]

I watched this video 3 years ago, and I'm watching it again ready to actually prepare it 😅.

[maelinejuste]

Me reading: "it takes 15 minutes to make"
Also me : taking 2h30 to actually make it

I have been using your recipes for 2 years now and Im never disappointed . I would love it if you could do a simple beef noddle soup recipe, Im sure you would knock it out of the park. Love your content ✨️ 💕

[JacindaH]

I made this twice in the last week and couldn't love it more! Thank you so much ❤

[throughthestorm]

Like that she doesn’t focus on herself. It’s a true instructional video with just enough personality to make it fun. 😀

[joannecavallaro]

This girl is so adorable and the recipe is quick, easy and delicious. I have doubled and tripled it with no problem and have even put it in a crockpot to stay warm at a party. Highly recommended! Please don’t tell her I use frozen vegetables.... where am I going in the dead of winter in the northeast?

[Nakijead]

I made this for the boss, my wife, and she loved it. The chicken tip you gave I used and it was perfect. I love to cook and you have taught me, at 65, how to make perfect chicken fried rice. Thank you!

[mattcoale]

I've followed this recipe multiple times. Have to say it is amazing! My family loves it. Thank you so much!!
