Ingredients

Units Scale

Chicken Marinade

  • 1/4 cup soy sauce
  • 1/4 cup water
  • 2 tablespoons brown sugar

Fried Rice

  • 1.5 lbs chicken breasts or thighs, diced
  • 1 small white onion, minced
  • 2-3 carrots, peeled and diced
  • 8 cloves garlic, minced and divided
  • 2/3 cup frozen peas
  • 5 cups cooked rice
  • 6 tablespoons butter
  • 4-5 tablespoons soy sauce
  • 2 tablespoons sesame oil, toasted sesame oil preferred
  • 3 eggs
  • 1 large mango, diced (or two honey/champagne mangos)
  • 3 tablespoons olive oil
  • Freshly cracked pepper, to taste

Instructions

  1. In a bowl, combine soy sauce, water, and brown sugar. Marinate diced chicken for at least 15 minutes.
  2. Heat 1 tablespoon olive oil in a large skillet or wok over medium-high heat. Cook the marinated chicken until fully cooked, then set aside.
  3. In the same skillet, add remaining olive oil and sauté onion, carrots, and half the garlic until vegetables are tender.
  4. Add frozen peas and cooked rice, stirring to combine.
  5. Push rice to one side of the skillet, add butter, and scramble the eggs with the remaining garlic until cooked.
  6. Mix eggs into the rice, then return cooked chicken to the skillet.
  7. Add soy sauce, sesame oil, and freshly cracked pepper. Stir well to coat all ingredients evenly.
  8. Gently fold in diced mango and cook for another 1–2 minutes until warmed through.
  9. Serve hot and enjoy.

Notes

  • For extra flavor, garnish with chopped green onions or cilantro.
  • Use day-old rice for better texture and less clumping.
  • Adjust soy sauce and sesame oil according to taste preference.
  • Substitute chicken with shrimp or tofu for a variation.
