Cooking Instructions
Step 1
Prepare the delicious soy sauce chicken, ensuring it’s well-seasoned. (Leftover chicken from the previous day works wonderfully!)
Step 2
Carefully separate the meat and crispy coating from the bones of the chicken. Shred the meat into bite-sized pieces. Discard the bones.
Step 3
Wash, peel, and finely mince the half onion so it integrates well into the fried rice. (Feel free to add other finely chopped vegetables you have on hand, like carrots or bell peppers, for a more vibrant and flavorful fried rice.)
Step 4
Heat 1 Tbsp of olive oil in a pan over medium heat. Add the minced onion and the instant rice. Stir-fry, breaking up any clumps of rice with your spatula until the onion becomes translucent.
Step 5
Once the rice grains are separated and fluffy, add the shredded chicken to the pan and stir-fry together with the rice and onions.
Step 6
Add 1 Tbsp of oyster sauce and stir well to coat everything evenly. Stir-fry briefly until the onions are just cooked through. (If you prefer a saltier taste, you can add a tiny bit of soy sauce or salt, but be mindful of the chicken’s existing seasoning.)
Step 7
Once everything is well combined and heated through, remove the pan from the heat. Sprinkle the parsley flakes over the finished chicken fried rice for a fresh finish. This simple yet delicious chicken fried rice is a fantastic way to repurpose leftovers, perfect for a solo meal, a quick lunch, or a kid-friendly dish!
