Equipment

  • Stir Fry Pan
  • Non-stick skillet
  • Cutting board
  • Chef’s knife

Ingredients
  

  • 4 cups chicken broth
  • 4 chicken breasts 1 lb, diced into small pieces
  • 2 cups Jasmine rice cooked and cooled
  • 2 tablespoons white rice vinegar
  • 4 tablespoons cooking oil
  • 2 garlic cloves minced
  • 2 large carrots diced
  • 2 eggs beaten
  • ½ white onion finely chopped
  • ½ cup edamame
  • 4 tablespoons soy sauce
  • 2 tablespoons teriyaki sauce
  • 4 teaspoons roasted sesame oil
  • 4 tablespoons chopped chives as a garnish
  • 2 teaspoons sesame seeds as a garnish

Instructions
 

  • Preparation: Start by cooking the Jasmine rice according to the package instructions. Once cooked, spread it out on a baking sheet to cool down. This step is crucial to ensure your fried rice isn’t mushy.
  • Marinate The Chicken: Combine the diced chicken breasts in a bowl with 2 tablespoons of soy sauce and 2 tablespoons of white rice vinegar. Let it marinate for about 10 minutes while you prepare other ingredients.
  • Scramble the Eggs: Heat a tablespoon of cooking oil in a large skillet or wok over medium-high heat. Pour in the beaten eggs and cook, stirring gently, until they are scrambled. Remove the eggs from the skillet and set them aside.
  • Stir-Fry The Chicken: In the same skillet, add another tablespoon of cooking oil. Add the marinated chicken pieces and stir-fry until they’re cooked through and have a nice golden colour. Remove the chicken from the skillet and set it aside.
  • Vegetable Medley: Add the remaining cooking oil to the skillet. Toss in the minced garlic, diced carrots, and chopped white onion. Stir-fry for a few minutes until the vegetables start to soften.
  • Combine And Season: Return the cooked rice, scrambled eggs, and chicken to the skillet with the vegetables. Mix everything. Add the edamame, teriyaki sauce, remaining soy sauce, and roasted sesame oil. Stir-fry for a few more minutes, ensuring everything is well combined and heated.
  • Garnish And Serve: Once everything is hot and delicious, transfer the chicken fried rice to serving plates. Sprinkle chopped chives and sesame seeds on top for that authentic PF Chang’s touch.

Notes

Cooking Tips

Here are some helpful cooking tips for making PF Chang’s Chicken Fried Rice Recipe:
Prep Ahead: To make the cooking process smoother, have all your ingredients measured, chopped, and ready to go before you start stir-frying. This will help you avoid last-minute rushes.
Cold Rice Is Key: Using cold, cooked rice is crucial for achieving that perfect texture in your fried rice. Freshly cooked rice tends to be too sticky. If possible, use rice that has been refrigerated for a few hours or overnight.
Marinate the Chicken: Marinating the chicken in soy sauce and white rice vinegar adds flavour and helps tenderize the meat. Allow it to marinate for at least 10 minutes for the best results.
High Heat is Your Friend: When stir-frying, use high heat. It allows you to quickly cook the ingredients without making them soggy. Keep things moving in the pan to avoid burning.
