Ingredients

Scale
  • 1 pound boneless, skinless chicken breasts or thighs, cut into bite-sized pieces
  • 2 cups cooked jasmine rice (day-old rice preferred)
  • 1 cup sliced mushrooms (cremini or white button)
  • 1 cup shredded cabbage
  • 1/2 cup chopped green onions
  • 1/2 cup diced carrots (optional)
  • 2 tablespoons soy sauce (low-sodium preferred)
  • 1 tablespoon oyster sauce
  • 1 teaspoon garlic powder (or 2 cloves fresh garlic, minced)
  • 1 teaspoon ginger powder (or 1 tablespoon fresh grated ginger)
  • Salt and pepper to taste
  • 2 tablespoons vegetable or canola oil
  • 1 tablespoon unsalted butter
  • 1 large egg, scrambled (optional)
  • Sliced lemon wedges (optional)
  • Sesame seeds (optional)

Instructions

  1. Cut chicken into 1-inch bite-sized pieces. Slice mushrooms, shred cabbage, chop green onions, and dice carrots if using.
  2. If needed, cook 1 cup uncooked jasmine rice with 2 cups water until fluffy (about 15 minutes). Spread cooked rice on a baking sheet and let cool.
  3. Preheat Blackstone griddle or large skillet over medium-high heat. Add 1 tablespoon vegetable oil and 1 tablespoon butter, swirling to coat.
  4. Add chicken pieces in a single layer. Sear undisturbed for 2-3 minutes until golden crust forms, then toss or flip and cook until no longer pink. Season with salt and pepper. Remove chicken and set aside.
  5. Add remaining 1 tablespoon oil to pan. Cook mushrooms and carrots until slightly softened and starting to brown. Add cabbage and green onions, stirring until cabbage wilts but retains crunch.
  6. Sprinkle garlic powder and ginger powder over veggies. Pour in soy sauce and oyster sauce, stir and cook for 1 minute to meld flavors.
  7. Return chicken to pan. Add cooked rice, breaking up clumps. Stir vigorously and let rice toast lightly for 3-4 minutes. Adjust seasoning as needed.
  8. Optional: Push rice mixture to one side, crack egg on empty side, scramble quickly, then stir into rice mixture.
  9. Remove from heat. Sprinkle with sesame seeds and additional green onions if desired. Serve immediately with lemon wedges.

Notes

Use day-old rice for best texture. Avoid overcrowding the pan to maintain a good sear. Adjust heat to prevent burning soy sauce and garlic. Butter can be omitted or replaced with plant-based alternative for dairy-free version. Tamari can substitute soy sauce for gluten-free diet.
