For best results, use day-old cooked rice, as it will be drier and fry better. Adjust the amount of soy sauce, sugar, and pepper to your personal taste preference. Feel free to add other vegetables like carrots, peas, or bell peppers for extra nutrients and flavor. For a vegetarian version, substitute the chicken with tofu or extra vegetables. If you don't have a wok, a large skillet will work, but a wok provides better heat distribution and allows for easier stirring.

Follow The Directions
01
StepMarinate the Chicken: In a bowl, combine the chicken thighs, 2 tablespoons soy sauce, brown sugar, and black pepper. Mix well, cover, and refrigerate for at least 2 hours, or preferably overnight. (Marinating time: 2-24 hours)
02
StepPrepare the Wok: Heat a wok or large skillet over high heat for 30 seconds. Add the vegetable oil, then reduce the heat to medium. Add the chopped onion and garlic and cook, stirring frequently, until fragrant and softened, about 2 minutes. (Prep time: 2 minutes)
03
StepCook the Chicken: Increase the heat back to high and add the marinated chicken to the wok. Cook, stirring constantly, until the chicken is no longer pink and is cooked through, about 4 minutes. (Cook time: 4 minutes)
04
StepScramble the Eggs: Push the chicken mixture to one side of the wok. Pour the beaten eggs into the empty side. Cook until the eggs begin to set, about 2 minutes. Slowly stir the eggs to scramble them, then mix them into the chicken mixture. (Cook time: 2 minutes)
05
StepSeason and Combine: Season the mixture with 3 tablespoons of soy sauce, sugar, and white pepper. Stir well for 1 minute to allow the flavors to meld. (Prep time: 1 minute)
06
StepAdd Rice and Finish: Add the cooked rice to the wok. Stir constantly to evenly incorporate the rice and heat it through, about 4 minutes. Remove from the heat and stir in the green onions and cilantro. Gently mix until well combined. (Cook time: 4 minutes)
07
StepServe: Serve the fried rice immediately, garnished with lime wedges, cucumber slices, and chile fish sauce, if desired.
