Name: Arroz Chaufa
Prep time: 10 min
Cook time: 15 min
Total time: 25 min
Yield: 4 servings
Cuisine: Peruvian
Ingredients: 600 g cooked white rice, cold and day-old; 200 g cooked chicken breast, diced; 3 piece eggs, beaten; 6 piece scallions, sliced, whites and greens separated; 3 tbsp soy sauce; 1 tsp sesame oil; 3 tbsp vegetable oil; 2 clove garlic, minced; 1 piece red bell pepper, diced; salt (to taste)

Method

Scramble the eggs

Heat a little oil in a hot wok and scramble the beaten eggs quickly, then set them aside in pieces.

2 min

Fry the aromatics

Add the rest of the oil to the wok and fry the garlic, scallion whites and bell pepper over high heat until fragrant.

2 min

Add chicken and rice

Add the diced chicken and cold rice, breaking up any clumps, and stir-fry over high heat until the rice is hot and starting to crisp.

Cold, day-old rice fries into separate grains — fresh warm rice turns gummy.

5 min

Season the rice

Drizzle in the soy sauce and sesame oil and toss everything until the rice is evenly colored.

1 min

Fold in the egg

Return the scrambled egg to the wok along with the scallion greens and toss briefly to combine.

1 min

Serve hot

Taste for salt and serve the fried rice immediately while it is hot and fragrant.
