Instructions
1
Prep
Dice chicken breast and thigh into small even pieces. Mince garlic, separate scallion whites from greens, and crack one egg into a bowl.
2
Boil
Lower the whole egg into boiling water over high heat and cook 6 minutes for a jammy yolk. Transfer to cold water, peel, and halve.
3
Fry
Heat vegetable oil in a wok over high heat until shimmering. Add diced chicken and sear 3–4 minutes, stirring occasionally, until cooked through and lightly browned.
4
Scramble
Push chicken to one side, pour in beaten egg, and scramble 30 seconds over high heat until just set. Mix through the chicken, then add garlic and scallion whites and sauté 30 seconds until fragrant.
5
Fry
Add cooked jasmine rice, breaking up clumps with a spatula, and stir-fry over high heat 3–4 minutes until grains separate and look dry at the edges.
6
Toss
Pour fish sauce, soy sauce, sugar, and white pepper over the rice. Toss 1 minute over high heat until every grain is evenly coated and glossy.
7
Finish
Stir in scallion greens and toss 15 seconds off the heat until just wilted.
8
Plate
Mound the fried rice on a plate, top with the halved soft-boiled egg, and arrange cucumber, lime wedge, and cilantro alongside.
