Craving Benihana-style fried rice at home? This recipe combines tender chicken, crispy jasmine rice, fluffy eggs, and savory veggies, all coated in a buttery soy glaze with a hint of garlic and a sprinkle of sesame seeds. Quick to make, and packed with rich, umami flavor in every bite.

4 large Eggs, whisked with a sprinkle of salt and pepper

Ingredients

• 4 teaspoons Avocado Oil, divided
• 1 7-ounce  Chicken Breast: cut into 1/2” pieces
• 4 Tablespoons Soy Sauce, divided
• 1 Carrot, diced small
• 1/2 Yellow Onion, diced small
• 2 Garlic cloves, finely chopped
• 4 Tablespoons Butter, divided
• 4 cups cooked Jasmine Rice (day-old rice works best)
• 1 teaspoon Black Pepper, freshly ground
• 1/2 teaspoons Kosher Salt
• 2 Tablespoons Sesame Seeds
• 4 Scallions, sliced

Procedure

1. Scramble the Eggs: In a small bowl, whisk the eggs with a sprinkle of salt and pepper. In a wok or large nonstick skillet, heat 2 tsp of avocado oil over medium heat. Add the eggs and cook, stirring, until scrambled (about 1–2 minutes). Remove from the wok and set aside.
2. Cook the Chicken: Add 1 tsp of avocado oil to the wok. Add the chicken pieces and 1 Tbsp of soy sauce. Cook until the chicken is fully cooked and slightly browned, about 4–5 minutes. Remove from the wok and set aside with the eggs.
3. Sauté Vegetables: Add the remaining 1 tsp of avocado oil to the wok along with 2 Tbsp of butter. Add the diced carrot, onion, and garlic. Sauté until softened, about 3–4 minutes.
4. Add Rice and Seasonings: Increase the heat to medium-high. Add the cooked rice, black pepper, salt, 2 Tbsp of soy sauce, and remaining 2 Tbsp of butter. Stir-fry the rice, pressing down to sear it lightly in the wok, for about 3–5 minutes or until heated through and slightly crispy.
5. Combine Ingredients: Add the scrambled eggs, cooked chicken, and remaining 1 Tbsp of soy sauce to the rice. Stir well to combine all ingredients. Taste and adjust seasoning as needed.
6. Add Sesame Seeds and Scallions: Stir in the sesame seeds and sliced scallions just before serving for extra flavor and a bit of crunch.
