Instructions

  1. Wash the rice at least twice, cook it until al dente, drain, and cool it completely. Do not use hot rice.
  2. In a bowl, mix the chicken with a pinch of salt, a pinch of pepper and the egg white (or cornstarch in place of egg). Set aside.
  3. In a small bowl, stir together the soy sauce, sugar and vinegar, adding any hot sauce you like.
  4. Heat 1½ tablespoons of oil in a wok or pan and stir-fry the chicken for 3 to 4 minutes, until almost cooked through. Push it to the side.
  5. Whisk the remaining egg, pour it into the pan and scramble until firm but still soft. Remove the chicken and egg to a plate.
  6. Wipe the wok clean, add half a tablespoon of oil, then fry the garlic for 30 seconds.
  7. Add the scallion whites, chilies if using, and bell peppers, and toss on the highest heat for 2 minutes, keeping the peppers crunchy.
  8. Add the rice, sprinkle with black pepper and pour in the sauce. Stir-fry on the highest heat for 1 minute.
  9. Return the chicken and egg to the pan and fry until hot, one to two minutes. Taste and add more salt or sauce if needed, then serve hot.
