- Proteins: 500 g (1.1 lbs) ground chicken, 2 large eggs
- Vegetables: 3 cups green cabbage (thinly sliced), 1 cup carrots (julienned or shredded), 1 cup bean sprouts (optional), 4 green onions (sliced), 3 cloves garlic (minced), 1 tbsp fresh ginger (minced)
- Rice: 3 cups cooked jasmine rice (cold, preferably day-old)
- Sauces & Seasonings: 3 tbsp soy sauce (or tamari), 1 tbsp oyster sauce, 1 tsp toasted sesame oil, 1/2 tsp white or black pepper, 1/2 tsp chili flakes (optional), 1 tbsp rice vinegar
- Cooking Oils: 2 tbsp vegetable oil (divided)
- Garnish: 1 tbsp toasted sesame seeds, extra sliced green onions
Instructions
- Step 1
- Prepare all ingredients before cooking: slice the vegetables, mince the garlic and ginger, and ensure your cold rice is ready.
- Step 2
- Heat 1 tbsp vegetable oil in a large skillet or wok over medium-high heat. Add the ground chicken and cook, breaking it up with a spatula, until browned and cooked through (about 4–5 minutes). Season lightly with salt and pepper, then remove from the pan and set aside.
- Step 3
- In the same pan, add the remaining 1 tbsp oil. Sauté the garlic, ginger, and the white parts of the green onions for about 1 minute until fragrant.
- Step 4
- Add the cabbage and carrots to the pan. Stir-fry for 3–4 minutes until they are just tender but still retain a crisp texture. If using bean sprouts, add them now and cook for 1 additional minute.
- Step 5
- Push the vegetables to the side of the pan to create an empty space. Crack the eggs into that space and scramble them until just set, then mix them back into the vegetables.
- Step 6
- Add the cold jasmine rice and return the cooked chicken to the skillet. Stir everything together thoroughly, breaking up any clumps of rice.
- Step 7
- Pour in the soy sauce, oyster sauce, sesame oil, rice vinegar, pepper, and chili flakes. Toss everything well to combine and heat through for about 2–3 minutes.
- Step 8
- Taste and adjust the seasoning if needed. Remove from the heat and garnish with toasted sesame seeds and extra green onions before serving.

Rezept Fragen & Antworten
- → Kann ich frischen Reis statt alten Reis verwenden?
Frischer Reis ist klebriger und wird weniger knusprig. Wenn Sie frischen Reis verwenden müssen, breiten Sie ihn nach dem Kochen auf einem Backblech aus und kühlen Sie ihn 1-2 Stunden im Kühlschrank, bevor Sie ihn verwenden.
- → Welche Alternativen gibt es zu Hühnchen?
Sie können Hacktruthahn oder Schweinefleisch verwenden. Für eine vegetarische Version verwenden Sie zerbröseltes Tofu und lassen Sie die Austernsauce weg oder verwenden Sie eine vegetarische Variante.
- → Wie kann ich dieses Gericht glutenfrei machen?
Ersetzen Sie Sojasauce durch Tamari und verwenden Sie eine glutenfreie Austernsauce. Alle anderen Zutaten sind natürlicherweise glutenfrei.
- → Kann ich die Schärfe anpassen?
Ja, Chiliflocken sind optional. Für weniger Schärfe weglassen, für mehr Schärfe erhöhen oder zusätzlich Sriracha beim Servieren anbieten.
- → Wie lange ist das Gericht haltbar?
Im Kühlschrank verschlossen 3-4 Tage haltbar. Erhitzen Sie es in der Pfanne mit etwas Öl für den besten Crunch. Nicht einfrieren, da die Textur leidet.
- → Welche Pfanne ist am besten geeignet?
Ein Wok oder eine große beschichtete Pfanne mit hohen Seiten eignet sich am besten. Das hohe Volumen erleichtert das Rühren ohne Überlaufen.
