You just need to follow the steps and use the right ingredients. It is a humble, easy-to-make dish that delivers surprising results.

You might think these are rare, but today, Asian ingredients like ginger, soy sauce, and sesame oil are staples found in almost any major supermarket in Ghana. You won't have any trouble finding them, so just add them to your shopping list!

Can I add other sauces for more flavour?

Elaboration

1 - Prep the chicken and rice
Before making this recipe, the first step is to prepare all the ingredients. We start by seasoning the chicken with a little lemon, salt, sesame oil, grated ginger, and soy sauce. We continue by cooking the rice. To do this, put it on the fire in a medium saucepan with water and a pinch of salt. Add the Peacock Golden Sella Basmati Rice when it starts to boil and let it cook for about 15 minutes, or according to the instructions on the package.
2 - Cool the rice
When the rice is cooked, rinse it under the tap, drain it, and spread it out on a large plate until it is cold while you continue preparing this fried rice recipe with fried chicken.
3 - Fry the chicken
Heat the sunflower oil in a large non-stick frying pan or wok. Wait three minutes after pouring the oil; when you see it is hot, add the marinated chicken and fry it over high heat until it is golden brown. Once done, remove and set aside.
4 - Fry the vegetables
In the same pan where we cooked the chicken (add a little more oil if necessary), fry the peas, carrots, peppers, garlic, and onions in this order until the consistency changes. They should be ready but “al dente,” meaning not overcooked.
5 - Combine chicken
When this time has passed, mix the chicken back in with a little grated ginger.
6 - Add rice and season
Incorporate the Peacock Golden Sella Rice that we cooked earlier. Then, stir-fry until it is hot, then add a teaspoon of sesame oil and a little soy sauce. Stir well and continuously until all the ingredients are combined and saturated with the distinctive flavour of sesame and soy.
7 - Add the egg
Also, prepare a French omelette in another small frying pan with a little oil. When it is completely cooked, cut it into slices and add the omelette to the rice. Finally, stir until it is well distributed throughout the dish.
