Ingredients
  

2 cups cooked jasmine rice (preferably day-old)

1 lb chicken thighs, boneless and skinless, diced

1/4 cup soy sauce

2 tablespoons mirin

1 tablespoon sake (optional)

2 tablespoons vegetable oil

1 small onion, finely chopped

2 cloves garlic, minced

1 cup mixed vegetables (carrots, peas, and corn)

3 green onions, chopped

2 eggs, lightly beaten

1 tablespoon sesame oil

Salt and pepper to taste

Sesame seeds for garnish

Pickled ginger (optional)

Instructions
 

Marinate the Chicken: In a bowl, combine the diced chicken with soy sauce, mirin, and sake. Let it marinate for at least 15 minutes.

    Prepare the Fried Rice Base: Heat 1 tablespoon of vegetable oil in a large skillet or wok over medium-high heat. Add the onions and garlic, sautéing until fragrant and translucent, about 2-3 minutes.

      Cook the Chicken: Add the marinated chicken to the skillet. Cook until the chicken is browned and cooked through, about 5-7 minutes. Ensure it’s well-coated in the sauce.

        Add Mixed Vegetables: Stir in the mixed vegetables and cook for another 2-3 minutes until they are heated through.

          Scramble the Eggs: Push the chicken and vegetable mixture to one side of the pan. Pour the beaten eggs into the empty side and scramble them until fully cooked, then mix everything together.

            Incorporate the Rice: Add the day-old rice to the skillet, breaking up any clumps. Pour in the sesame oil, and season with salt and pepper. Stir-fry everything together, making sure the rice is well-coated and heated through, about 5 minutes.

              Finish with Green Onions: Toss in the chopped green onions and stir-fry for another minute, allowing the flavors to meld.

                Serve: Transfer the fried rice to a large serving platter, sprinkle with sesame seeds, and garnish with pickled ginger if desired. Enjoy hot!
