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.
