Chicken Fried Rice - Restaurant Style
- 2 cups uncooked long-grain rice (Jasmine Thai)
- 1/2 teaspoon salt
- 1/2 teaspoon sugar
- 1/4 teaspoon white pepper
- 1/4 teaspoon msg
- 1/2 teaspoon oyster sauce
- 1 teaspoon soy sauce
- 1 egg
- 1/2 cup frozen peas and carrot
- 1/2 sweet vidalia onion, finely chopped
- 1/2 lb chicken breast
- 1 teaspoon cornstarch
- 1/8 teaspoon garlic powder
- 4 tablespoons vegetable oil
- Wash rice and cook with a couple pinches of salt. Then, put it on a plate and cover with saran wrap and allow to cool in fridge for at least 1 hour.
- Slice the chicken to the size of 3 quarter dollars put together, or cut to your preference. Partially freeze the meat to make meat easier to cut small.
- Put the chicken in a small bowl. Add the cornstarch, garlic powder, 1/2 the salt, 1/2 the sugar, 1/2 the white pepper, 1/2 the MSG and 2 teaspoons of water. Mix by hand to coat the meat. This step keeps the meat juicy while cooking in hot oil.
- Heat 3 tablespoons oil in your wok at 80% heat. Add the chicken and cook until white. Drain off the oil and set meat aside.
- Add the remaining tablespoon of oil to the wok. Heat to 60% heat and add the beaten egg. Allow the egg to cook before stirring it. Stirring the egg while it is setting will make the egg more fluffy, like scrambled eggs.
- Turn the heat up to 80% and add the onion. Cook for 30 seconds and then add the cooled rice. Keep flipping or turning the rice over to heat it evenly in the pan for 1 minute.
- Add the remaining salt, sugar, white pepper, and MSG. Continue turning the rice for another minute.
- Add the chicken, oyster sauce, soy sauce, and peas and carrots. Continue turning and flipping for 3 minutes.
