Ingredients

Chicken and Marinade

12 oz chicken thighs cut into bite-sized pieces
2 teaspoon soy sauce
2 teaspoon Shaoxing wine
¼ teaspoon salt
¼ teaspoon white pepper

Fried Rice

4 cups cooked white rice day old
1 shallot minced
5 cloves garlic finely minced
4 green onions chopped whites and greens separated
1 cup frozen mixed vegetables peas, carrots, corn, green beans
3 eggs beaten

Sauce

2 tablespoon soy sauce
1 tablespoon dark soy sauce
1 tablespoon oyster sauce
1 teaspoon sugar
1 teaspoon chicken bouillon powder
¼ teaspoon white pepper
2 teaspoon sesame oil

Instructions

Marinate the chicken. In a medium mixing bowl, add the chicken, soy sauce, salt, and white pepper and mix until combined. Marinate for at least 15 minutes.
Mix the sauce. In a small mixing bowl, add soy sauce, oyster sauce, dark soy sauce, white pepper, chicken bouillon powder, and sesame oil. Mix until combined. Set aside.
Cook the chicken. Heat about two tablespoons of oil over medium-high heat until hot. Cook the chicken in a single layer for 2-3 minutes on each side or until done. Remove and set aside.
Cook the vegetables. In the same wok, heat one tablespoon of vegetable oil over medium heat until hot. Saute the garlic, shallots, and white parts of the green onion until lightly browned and fragrant, about 1 minute. Then, add the frozen vegetables and mix until combined, for about 1 minute.
Cook the eggs. Push everything to the side and pour in the whisked eggs. Scramble the eggs until just done and then toss to combine.
Combine. Toss in the chicken, rice, and sauce. Mix until combined and the rice is evenly coated with the sauce, about 2-3 minutes.
Serve. Garnish the Chinese chicken fried rice with green parts of green onions and enjoy!
