BETTER THAN TAKEOUT AND EASY! Chinese Chicken Fried Rice Recipe

Welcome to Souped Up Recipes. Today we are making an amazingly delicious chicken fried rice. Super easy to make and everybody loves it. Taste really good, OMG Let’s get right into it. Cut the chicken into small pieces. Mix it with 1 tsp of cornstarch, 1 tsp of soy sauce, 1 tsp of vegetable oil and a pinch of baking soda (not baking powder, sorry for the audio mistake in the video). Chicken breast usually gets dry during stir frying. Adding baking soda will tenderize it. Make it juicy and smooth. Set it aside for 30 minutes. Crack 2 eggs. Beat it well. I got my wok heating up. You can do this with a large saute pan as well. Add about 1 tbsp of vegetable oil. Give it a toss, so the bottom is coated nicely. Wait until there is smoke coming out. Pour in the egg. Will take about 30-50 seconds to get it fluffy. Break it into small pieces and set it aside. Add more oil into the same wok. Heat it up and add in the chicken. Saute it for about 1 or 2 minutes. Then push it to the side so you have room for the vegetables. Dump in all your veggies, which are 1 tbsp of minced garlic, 1/4 cup of onion, 1/3 cup of green beans and 1/2 cup of carrot. Stir-fry for 2 to 3 minutes. By the way, I don’t really like to use frozen vegetables. It tastes better with fresh ones, trust me. You can switch around with whatever vegetables you like, normally in China we just use whatever left in the fridge. By now, the onion should be transparent. Add some salt to taste. Mix it well. You can see that the chicken has those nice brown burned marks. That is what we want. Take it out. Seriously, this looks so good. I could just eat like that without rice. Next is the rice, I like to loosen up the rice before frying. Wet your hand first and break those big pieces apart. This will make thing easier. Turn on the gas to high, Heat up the wok for about 15 seconds. Then add 2 tbsp of vegetable oil. Put in the rice right after that. Use your spatula to break down the big pieces. I am using day old rice today. It is the best for this dish. You need to stir fry this for 3-5 minutes. Then add in our seasoning, 1 tbsp of light soy sauce, 2 tsp of dark soy sauce. Now you really got to mix this. Do it fast. Because the wok is hot, the liquid will evaporate quickly- then you will never get to mix it evenly. Once can not see white rice, add in all the ingredients. Veggies, meat, oh and the egg... Toss everything together. Give them about 2 minutes to be infused with each other. That looks good, we are almost ready. Add some salt and pepper to taste. Add in the spring onion right before serving. Ohhhh yeah! Look at this. You see that beautiful shiny brown color. It is gonna taste amazing. Just by looking at this. I bet your stomach is starving.
