chicken

🥗Healthier: tofu

💰Cheaper: chicken thighs

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

Make double or triple the batch of rice and let it cool completely on a big platter or sheet tray.

Add a little onion to the pan.

Add frozen peas and carrots to the pan for extra nutrition and color.

Use cooked chicken, which can be rotisserie or any leftover chicken.

Use the largest skillet you have to avoid steaming the ingredients.

Heat the skillet until it's screaming hot.

Add oil to the hot skillet and sauté the onion for a little bit.

Add the peas, carrots, chicken, and rice at the same time, scattering everything into an even layer.

Cook undisturbed for a little while to allow the bottom to get brown and crispy.

Add cracked pepper and soy sauce to deglaze the pan.

Move everything to the sides to create a well in the middle of the pan and scramble the egg in that space.

Once the egg is scrambled, mix everything together until combined.

Serve the fried rice with extra soy sauce and a drizzle of Sriracha mayo, topped with green onion.
