Ingredients
2 cups cooked rice (preferably day-old)
2 chicken breasts or thighs, diced
2 tbsp teriyaki sauce (plus more to taste)
1 cup mixed vegetables (peas, carrots, corn)
2 eggs, lightly beaten
2 green onions, sliced
2 tbsp soy sauce
1 tbsp sesame oil or vegetable oil
Instructions
Cook Chicken:
Heat oil in a large skillet or wok over medium-high heat.
Add diced chicken and cook for 5–7 minutes, until browned and cooked through.
Add 2 tbsp teriyaki sauce, stir to coat, and remove chicken from the pan.
Scramble Eggs:
In the same pan, pour in the beaten eggs and scramble until just cooked. Push to one side.
Add Veggies:
Add the mixed vegetables to the pan and cook for 2–3 minutes until softened.
Add Rice & Chicken:
Stir in the cooked rice and return the chicken to the pan. Combine all ingredients evenly.
Season & Finish:
Pour in soy sauce and additional teriyaki sauce to taste. Stir-fry everything for 2–3 more minutes until heated through.
Serve:
Garnish with sliced green onions and serve hot.
Notes
Day-old rice prevents the dish from becoming mushy.
Customize with your favorite protein (shrimp, tofu) or veggies (broccoli, bell peppers).
Add sesame seeds or a drizzle of sriracha for extra flavor.
