Method
- Heat 1 tablespoon of olive oil in a large skillet or wok over medium-high heat. Add the minced garlic and cook for about 30 seconds until fragrant.
- Add the chicken pieces in a single layer and let them sit undisturbed for 2-3 minutes. Stir and continue cooking for another 5-7 minutes until the chicken reaches an internal temperature of 165°F and is golden on all sides. Remove the chicken from the skillet.
- Add the remaining tablespoon of olive oil to the same skillet. Pour in the beaten egg and scramble until just set, about 1-2 minutes. Remove and set aside with the chicken.
- Add the chilled rice to the hot skillet and press it down to break up any clumps. Let it fry undisturbed for about 1 minute, then stir-fry for another 1-2 minutes until heated through and slightly crispy.
- Return the cooked chicken and scrambled egg to the skillet. Add soy sauce, sesame oil, rice vinegar, and black pepper. Toss together for about 1 minute until well combined.
- Remove from heat and stir in sliced green onions. Transfer to a serving dish and sprinkle with sesame seeds.
