Ingredients

  • 1 rotisserie chicken – shredded
  • 3 Tbsp butter – divided
  • 3 eggs – lightly beaten
  • 1 large carrot – peeled and cubed
  • 1 small white onion – chopped
  • 3 cloves garlic – minced
  • 4-5 cups rice – cooked and chilled
  • 1 cup frozen peas
  • 4 green onions – thinly sliced
  • 1/4 cup soy sauce * – plus more to taste
  • 2 tsp sesame oil
  • 3 tsp oyster sauce
  • Salt and Pepper to taste

Directions

  1. Preheat a large skillet or wok to medium heat. Add 1 tbsp. of the butter into the pan. Once the butter has melted, add the lightly beaten eggs. Let them cook for about 30-40 seconds or until set, then scramble. Once the eggs are fully cooked, remove them and set them aside.
  2. Add the remaining butter to the pan- when it’s hot, add the carrot and onion and cook until tender, then add the garlic and cook until fragrant, taking care not to brown. Turn the heat up slightly and add the cold rice and peas.
  3. Cook the the mixture for about 3-4 minutes (it will sizzle and should brown a bit), then add the eggs, green onion, soy sauce, sesame oil and oyster sauce. Cook for a few more minutes or until the mixture is hot. Season with salt and pepper, serve immediately.
