Instructions

1️⃣ Prepare the ingredients: Make sure your jasmine rice is cold and separated for the best texture. Slice the chicken thinly and mince the garlic and chilies.

3️⃣ Sauté the chicken: Add the remaining oil to the pan and cook the chicken until golden brown. Push it to the side.

4️⃣ Add aromatics: Toss in the minced garlic, chilies, and chopped onion. Stir-fry for about 30 seconds until fragrant.

5️⃣ Mix in the rice: Add the cold rice, breaking it up with a spatula. Stir well to coat everything in the flavors.

6️⃣ Season it up: Pour in the soy sauce, fish sauce, oyster sauce, sugar, and white pepper. Stir-fry for another 2-3 minutes.

7️⃣ Finish it off: Add the scrambled eggs, green onions, and bell peppers (if using). Stir for a final minute.

8️⃣ Serve & enjoy: Garnish with fresh cilantro, squeeze lime over the top, and enjoy hot!
