Thai Chicken Fried Rice

INGREDIENTS

2-3 Thai red chilis, thinly sliced
3 tbsp. fish sauce
2 tbsp. vegetable oil, divided
2 chicken breasts, thinly sliced
Kosher salt
Freshly ground black pepper
1 medium carrot, peeled and diced
4 cloves garlic, minced
4 green onions, white and light green parts cut into 1″ pieces
1 tsp. freshly minced ginger
4 c. cooked white rice
3 tbsp. oyster sauce
2 large eggs, beaten
Freshly chopped cilantro, for serving
Lime wedges, for serving

Step 01

In a small bowl, combine chilis and fish sauce. Set aside while you prep the rest of your ingredients.

Step 02

Season chicken with salt and pepper. In a large skillet over medium-high heat, heat 1 tablespoon oil. Add chicken and cook, tossing occasionally, until cooked through, about 5 minutes. Remove chicken from skillet and set aside on a plate to keep warm.

Step 03

Return skillet over medium-high heat and heat remaining tablespoon oil. Add carrots and cook until softened, 3 minutes. Add garlic, green onions, and ginger and cook until fragrant, 1 minute. Add rice, 3 tablespoons of the fish sauce mixture, and oyster sauce. Toss until rice is well coated, then push rice to one side of pan.

Step 04

On the empty side of the pan, add a little more oil if your pan is dry. Add beaten eggs and scramble with a rubber spatula until just barely set, then combine with rice. Return chicken to skillet and stir to combine.

Step 05

Serve with cilantro, lime wedges, and any remaining fish sauce.

Enjoy….
