My husband Ben and I came up with this recipe based on what we happened to find in the fridge the other day. The marinated chicken is a bit of a twist, otherwise it’s fairly regular fried rice but surprisingly delicious! With our recent visit to Korea, we’ve been a bit obsessed with trying to come up with spicy marinades, and this was a start. We learned at our favorite nearby fusion restaurant that Sriracha sauce goes with Korean marinated meats. Not sure why since Sriracha is not a Korean sauce. That said, maybe Sriracha just goes with anything – like how some people are obsessed with putting Ketchup and Tabasco on everything.<\/p>\n

          Instructions<\/h3>

          Marinate the Chicken<\/h4>
          • Place all of the ingredients for the chicken marinade in a food processor and mix well.<\/div><\/li>
          • Pour the marinade into a glass container with a lid. Add the chicken pieces to the marinade and mix with your hands to coat well.<\/div><\/li>
          • Cover the container with a lid and place in the refrigerator overnight.<\/div><\/li><\/ul><\/div>

            Cook the Chicken<\/h4>
            • Dice or slice the marinated chicken into bite-sizes.<\/div><\/li>
            • Heat a skillet and cook the chicken.<\/div><\/li><\/ul><\/div>

              Prepare the egg<\/h4>
              • Heat a wok, large skillet or dutch oven over medium-high heat. Add the vegetable oil when the pan is hot.<\/div><\/li>
              • When you start to see see white smoke coming off from the pan, add the lightly beaten egg. The egg will not stick to the pan as long as you put enough oil. Quickly mix it with a spatula and take the egg out onto a plate when it\u2019s 80% cooked.<\/div><\/li><\/ul><\/div>

                • Add the rice and break-up the chunks of rice. Stir or toss the rice without mashing it.<\/div><\/li>
                • When rice is coated with oil, add the diced chicken and stir well without mashing the rice.<\/div><\/li>
                • Add the prepared egg and break into small pieces.<\/div><\/li>
                • When all the ingredients are mixed well, add soy sauce, salt, white pepper, and freshly ground black pepper. Stir or toss the rice and mix it all together.<\/div><\/li><\/ul><\/div>

                  To serve<\/h4>
