Tips & Tricks

Use freshly cooked hot rice for the best results since the heat helps everything blend together smoothly.
Start light with the sesame oil since a little goes a long way.
Mix everything thoroughly so the scallions soften slightly from the heat of the rice.
If your chicken is cold let it sit out for a few minutes before mixing so the dish stays warm.
Taste at the end and adjust seasoning instead of adding everything at once.

FAQs

Yes just reheat it until very hot before mixing so the flavors come together properly.

It can be as mild or spicy as you like depending on how much chili crisp you use.

Yes brown rice works well and adds a heartier texture.

It is best made fresh but you can prep the chicken and scallions ahead to save time.
