Main Ingredients- 3 pieces Chicken Tender Sticks
- 1 bowl Warm Cooked Rice
- 1/2 Onion
- 2 cloves Garlic
- 2 Eggs
- 1 Tbsp Chopped Green Onion (optional)
- 1.5 Tbsp Cooking Oil
Seasoning & Sauce- Pinch of Salt
- 1 Tbsp Soy Sauce
- 2.5 Tbsp Mayonnaise
- Pinch of Salt
- 1 Tbsp Soy Sauce
- 2.5 Tbsp Mayonnaise
Cooking Instructions
Step 1
First, prepare the chicken tender sticks. Baking them in the oven, air fryer, or pan-frying until golden brown will make them even more delicious. Cook them until the outside is crispy and the inside is tender and juicy.
Step 2
If using an oven, bake at 200°C (390°F) for about 10 minutes. If using an air fryer or frying pan, cook over medium heat until the chicken sticks are nicely browned and cooked through.
Step 3
In a bowl, crack the 2 eggs and add a pinch of salt. Whisk the eggs gently with chopsticks or a whisk until you have a smooth, beaten egg mixture. It’s important to whisk them thoroughly so there are no streaks.
Step 4
Heat 1.5 tablespoons of cooking oil in a frying pan over medium heat. Once the pan is sufficiently hot, pour the beaten egg mixture thinly and evenly across the pan. Pouring it thinly helps create fluffy scrambled eggs.
Step 5
Once the egg is poured, quickly stir it with chopsticks to make scrambled eggs. The key is not to overcook them, so they remain soft and fluffy. Once cooked, immediately remove from the pan and set aside.
Step 6
Peel the onion and slice it thinly into strips. Slice the garlic thinly (into slivers) or mince it. Onions and garlic are important for adding depth of flavor to the rice bowl.
Step 7
In a clean frying pan, heat 1 tablespoon of cooking oil over medium-low heat. Add the sliced onions and garlic. Sauté until the onions become translucent and you can smell the garlic, allowing them to become golden brown and fragrant.
Step 8
Once the onions and garlic are nicely browned, pour 1 tablespoon of soy sauce around the edges of the pan to release its aroma and stir-fry with the ingredients. Stir-fry until the soy sauce coats everything. Turn off the heat, add 1 tablespoon of mayonnaise, and mix well. This creates a delicious onion sauce.
Step 9
Place a generous serving of warm cooked rice into a bowl. Flatten the rice evenly so that the toppings sit nicely.
Step 10
Arrange the fragrant sautéed onions and garlic, followed by the fluffy scrambled eggs, attractively on top of the rice. Consider the color balance for a visually appealing dish.
Step 11
Cut the oven-baked or air-fried chicken tender sticks into bite-sized pieces and place them on top of the rice bowl. Finally, drizzle the remaining 1.5 tablespoons of mayonnaise evenly over the top. For a neat drizzle, cover the mayonnaise bottle with plastic wrap and poke a small hole in the center to squeeze it out.
Step 12
Garnish with the chopped green onions for a fresh finish! The slight sharpness of the green onions cuts through the richness and adds a pop of color. If you find the dish a bit bland, you can add a little more soy sauce when sautéing the onions, or add a touch more soy sauce to your liking when serving.
