🥗Healthier: tofu

💰Cheaper: chicken thighs

Tofu is lower in calories and suitable for vegetarians; chicken thighs are more budget-friendly.

Prepare steamed rice in a rice cooker with rinsed rice and water, then cool it down and refrigerate overnight.

Marinate chicken in a mixing bowl with salt, white pepper, egg white, corn starch, and oil for about 10 minutes.

Prepare the sauce by mixing soy sauce, oyster sauce, and white pepper in a bowl.

In a wok over high heat, add 1 tablespoon of oil and the marinated chicken, stir-frying for about 3 minutes until cooked through.

Add 1 tablespoon of oil, then add onions, peas, and carrots, stir-frying for about 1 minute until aromatic.

Add another tablespoon of oil and scramble the beaten eggs until partially cooked.

Transfer the overnight rice into the wok and stir-fry until every grain is separated for about 2 minutes.

Return the chicken, onions, peas, and carrots to the wok, pour in the sauce, and mix everything together.
