Delicious Teriyaki Chicken Fried Rice Recipe

Ingredients

Servings:
8
  • 2 cups cooked jasmine rice (Preferably day-old for best texture)
  • 1 lb boneless chicken thighs (Cut into bite-sized pieces)
  • 1 cup mixed vegetables (Carrots, peas, and corn work well)
  • 2 tablespoons teriyaki sauce (Store-bought or homemade)
  • 2 tablespoons soy sauce (Low sodium recommended)
  • 1 tablespoon sesame oil (For flavor and cooking)
  • 2 green onions sliced (For garnish)
  • 2 cloves garlic (Minced)
  • 1 inch ginger (Minced or grated)
  • 2 eggs beaten (For added protein)
  • 1 tablespoon vegetable oil (For frying)

Instructions

7 steps

  1. Prepare the Chicken

    Heat vegetable oil in a large skillet over medium-high heat. Add chicken pieces and cook until browned and cooked through.

    Ensure the chicken is cooked thoroughly before adding other ingredients.
  2. Add Aromatics

    Add garlic and ginger to the skillet. Sauté for about 1 minute until fragrant.

    Don’t let the garlic burn; it can turn bitter.
  3. Incorporate Vegetables

    Stir in the mixed vegetables and cook for another 2-3 minutes until heated through.

    Use frozen veggies for convenience.
  4. Add Rice

    Add the cooked jasmine rice to the skillet. Break up any clumps and mix well.

    Day-old rice works best for fried rice.
  5. Season the Rice

    Pour in teriyaki sauce and soy sauce. Stir until everything is well coated.

    Adjust sauces to taste.
  6. Cook the Eggs

    Push the rice to one side of the skillet, pour beaten eggs on the other side, and scramble them until fully cooked.

    Mix the eggs into the rice once cooked.
  7. Finish with Green Onions

    Remove from heat, drizzle with sesame oil, and toss in sliced green onions.

    Serve immediately for the best flavor.
