🥄 Texture

The rice is mostly loose and separated but lightly sauced by the tomato juices, giving a slightly moist mouthfeel. Tender diced chicken provides meaty bite while the scrambled eggs add soft, silky pockets throughout; occasional tomato pieces are juicy and soft.

👃 Aroma

Bright tomato aroma is front and center, balanced by warm savory notes from the stir-fried chicken and eggs. A faint toasty/fried scent from the wok and a light oily backbone complete the comforting, home-cooked profile.

🍷 Pairs Well With

Jasmine tea or a light, crisp white wine (e.g., dry Riesling); for a non-alcoholic option, sparkling water with a lemon wedge.

🥗 Side Dishes

Simple stir-fried greens (bok choy or gai lan), a chilled cucumber salad with garlic and sesame, or a light egg drop soup make good accompaniments.

Instructions

  1. 1

    Heat 1 tablespoon of oil in a large wok or skillet over high heat until shimmering.

  2. 2

    Add the diced chicken cubes and stir-fry for 5-7 minutes until fully cooked and lightly golden. Season with 1/2 teaspoon salt. Transfer to a plate and set aside.

  3. 3

    Add 1 tablespoon of oil to the same wok and pour in the beaten eggs. Scramble gently until cooked through but still slightly moist, about 2-3 minutes. Transfer to the plate with the chicken.

  4. 4

    Add the remaining 1 tablespoon of oil to the wok and increase heat to high.

  5. 5

    Add the diced tomatoes and stir-fry for 2-3 minutes, breaking them down slightly to release their juices and create a light sauce.

  6. 6

    Add the cooled cooked rice to the wok, breaking up any clumps with your spatula. Stir-fry continuously for 3-4 minutes, ensuring the rice is heated through and coated with the tomato mixture.

  7. 7

    Return the cooked chicken and scrambled eggs to the wok and toss everything together for 1-2 minutes until well combined.

  8. 8

    Season with the remaining 1/2 teaspoon salt and adjust to taste. Stir-fry for another 30 seconds to incorporate all flavors evenly.

  9. 9

    Transfer to a serving dish and serve immediately while hot.
