instructions
    1

    Start by marinating the chicken thighs in 1 tablespoon of soy sauce, a little black pepper, and 1 teaspoon of sesame oil. Let it sit for at least 10 minutes while you prepare the other ingredients.

    2

    Heat a large skillet or wok over medium-high heat and add 2 tablespoons of cooking oil.

    3

    Once the oil is hot, add the marinated chicken and stir-fry for about 5-7 minutes, or until the chicken is cooked through and golden brown.

    4

    Add the minced garlic and sliced onion to the skillet. Stir-fry for another 3-4 minutes until the onions are translucent.

    5

    In a separate bowl, beat the eggs and season with a pinch of salt. Push the chicken and vegetables to one side of the skillet.

    6

    Pour the beaten eggs into the empty side of the skillet and scramble them for about 2-3 minutes until set.

    7

    Mix everything together in the skillet, then add the remaining 2 tablespoons of soy sauce and 1 teaspoon of sesame oil. Toss to coat all ingredients evenly.

    8

    Finally, stir in the chopped green onions and give it a final toss before removing from heat.

    9

    Serve hot, garnished with extra green onions if desired.

How to be creative
  • Add a spicy kick by including sliced chili peppers to the stir-fry.
  • Incorporate different types of mushrooms for an umami flavor boost.
  • Swap in quinoa or brown rice instead of serving over white rice for a healthier twist.
Important Tips
  • Using boneless chicken thighs ensures a tender and juicy bite; don’t substitute with chicken breast!
  • Feel free to add vegetables like bell peppers or carrots for extra nutrition and color.
  • For an extra layer of flavor, try adding a sprinkle of toasted sesame seeds as a garnish.
