Instructions:
-
Before diving into the stir-frying extravaganza, ensure that your rice is cooked and cooled to room temperature, and don’t forget to chop the green onions, celery, and carrot.
-
In a bowl, mix together the sesame oil and garlic powder. Place the chicken in the mixture, allowing it to marinate briefly while you heat up your wok or skillet.
-
Heat an electric skillet or wok over medium-high heat until it reaches about 375 degrees Fahrenheit. Add the marinated chicken to the hot skillet.
-
Stir the chicken continuously, allowing it to cook for approximately 5 to 7 minutes, or until it’s thoroughly cooked through.
-
Once the chicken is cooked, it’s time to introduce the veggies! Add the chopped green onions, celery, carrots, and 2 tablespoons of soy sauce to the skillet. Give it all a good stir to combine.
-
Crack an egg into the mix and continue stirring briskly. Make sure the egg is evenly distributed throughout the stir-fry.
-
Once the egg is cooked and incorporated, it’s time to add the cooled rice to the party! Toss in the remaining 2 tablespoons of soy sauce as well.
-
Increase the heat to high and stir-fry the mixture vigorously until the rice is piping hot and infused with all the savory flavors from the chicken and veggies.
-
While your stir fry is sizzling away, take this opportunity to toast some pita bread until it’s crisp and golden brown.
-
Once everything is ready, serve your delicious chicken stir fry alongside the warm, toasted pita bread.
-
Enjoy your flavorful creation with friends and family, savoring each bite of this delightful culinary adventure!
