Turn out onto a plate to cool (do not fold omelette). Repeat process with remaining beaten eggs. Place 1 omelette on top of the other, fold and coarsely chop. Set aside.
- In a medium bowl, toss chicken strips with the sesame oil and season with salt and pepper, to taste. Heat 3 tablespoons vegetable oil over high heat in large frying pan or wok and stir-fry the prepared chicken strips until lightly golden, about 2 to 3 minutes. Add the onion and garlic and stir-fry for 1 to 2 minutes or until onion has softened. Add 2 tablespoons more vegetable oil and when hot, stir in the cooked rice and green onions, tossing and mixing thoroughly until very hot. Sprinkle with soy sauce and mix evenly.

STIR-FRIED CHICKEN WITH BLACK BEANS
Of all the easy additions to stir-fries, fermented black beans are among the best. They give a special flavor and look, and the technique is effortless. Furthermore, a year's supply of black beans will set you back about a buck at a Chinese market.

Steps:
- Soak the black beans in the wine. Meanwhile, put a large, deep skillet over high heat. Add half the oil, swirl it around, and immediately add half the garlic and ginger. Cook for 15 seconds, stirring, then add the onion. Raise the heat to high and cook, stirring occasionally, until the onion becomes soft, about 5 minutes. Remove the onion.
- Still over high heat, add the remaining oil to the pan, then the remaining garlic and ginger. Stir, add the chicken, stir again, then let it sit for 1 minute before stirring again. Cook, stirring occasionally, until the chicken has lost its pink color, 3 to 5 minutes.
- Turn the heat down to medium, add the scallion, and toss. Return the onion to the pan and add the sugar if you're using it and the soy sauce. Toss again, sprinkle with salt and pepper, then add the beans with their liquid and the stock. Raise the heat to high and cook, stir-ring and scraping the bottom of the pan, until the liquid is reduced slightly and you've scraped up all the bits of chicken, about a minute. Turn off the heat, drizzle on the sesame oil, garnish with scallion, and serve.
- 12 Simple Additions to Stir-Fried Chicken:
- You can throw almost anything you like into a stir-fry, but these are some of my favorites; some require a trip to an Asian market, but many will be in your pantry.
- 1. Add 1 tablespoon or more of bottled hoisin, plum, oyster, or ground bean sauce with the soy sauce.
- 2. Add 1/4 teaspoon or more Vietnamese-style chile paste, chile and black bean paste, or chile-garlic paste with the liquid.
- 3. Add 1 teaspoon dark sesame oil with the soy sauce. A tablespoon or so of toasted sesame seeds is also good, alone or with the oil.
- 4. Toss the chicken chunks with 1 tablespoon curry powder or five-spice powder.
- 5. Toss in 1/2 to 1 cup raw or roasted cashews or peanuts when you return the vegetables to the pan.
- 6. Omit the stock or water and add 1/2 to 1 cup coconut milk along with the soy sauce.
- 7. Add 1 cup chopped fresh tomato when you return the vegetable to the pan.
- 8. Replace half the soy sauce with nam pla (Thai fish sauce) or freshly squeezed lime juice or vinegar.
- 9. Add 1 cup mung bean sprouts when you return the vegetables to the pan.
- 10. Add 1/2 cup chopped shallot with the chicken.
- 11. Use snow peas, mushrooms, or other quick-cooking vegetables, alone or in combination, in addition to or in place of other vegetables.
- 12. Stir in 1/4 cup cooked grains (like barley, wheat berries, buckwheat, or quinoa) when you return the vegetables to the pan.
STIR-FRIED CHICKEN IN BLACK BEAN SAUCE
This was a recipe my mom taught me to make when I was 11. The two sauces are by Lee Kum Kee, and are 'Black Bean Sauce' and 'Minced Ginger & Shallot Sauce'. I made this in a Master Chef competition at my old school, and came second, although I was the clear public favourite :) Anyway, it's delicious, so try it out!

AUTHENTIC BLACK BEAN CHICKEN
Fermented black beans are found in Asian markets and once you buy them, they last pretty much forever! Also called salted black beans, they're used in the black bean chicken you order from Chinese take-out and has a much different flavor than the Mexican type of black beans. From chef Fuchsia Dunlop with my addition of some red pepper for color! Also check out my review of Recipe#247607.

Steps:
- Cut the chicken into bite sized chunks; put them in a bowl and add salt and soy sauce; mix well and set aside.
- Heat peanut oil in the wok over high heat; add the chicken and stir-fry until it changes color, then remove from the wok with a slotted spoon.
- Drain off all but 3 tablespoons oil from the wok, then return it to medium heat; add the ginger and garlic and stir-fry for a few minutes until they are fragrant and the garlic cloves are tender. Add the black beans and stir-fry until fragrant, splashing in the wine as you do so. Add the chili flakes and stir-fry for a few moments.
- Return the chicken to the wok; add the red bell pepper and toss both in the fragrant oil, splashing in the vinegar and adding salt to taste. When everything is sizzly, throw in the scallions and stir a few times until barely cooked. Then, off the heat, stir in the sesame oil and serve.
Tips:
- Use high-quality ingredients: Fresh, flavorful ingredients will make a big difference in the taste of your chicken fried rice. Look for high-quality chicken, vegetables, and rice.
- Cook the rice ahead of time: Cold, leftover rice is best for fried rice. This will help the rice to stay separate and not become mushy.
- Use a well-seasoned wok or large skillet: A well-seasoned wok or large skillet will help to prevent the rice from sticking and will give it a nice smoky flavor.
- Heat the wok or skillet over high heat: This will help to create a nice sear on the chicken and vegetables.
- Add the ingredients in stages: Start by cooking the chicken and vegetables, then add the rice and eggs. This will help to prevent the rice from becoming mushy.
- Stir-fry the rice constantly: This will help to prevent the rice from sticking and will also help to evenly distribute the flavors.
- Season the rice to taste: Add soy sauce, fish sauce, and/or oyster sauce to taste. You can also add other seasonings, such as garlic powder, ginger powder, or white pepper.
- Serve the rice immediately: Chicken fried rice is best served hot and fresh.
Conclusion:
Chicken fried rice is a delicious and easy-to-make dish that can be enjoyed by people of all ages. It is a great way to use up leftover rice and vegetables, and it is also a good source of protein and carbohydrates. With a little practice, you can make chicken fried rice that is just as good as your favorite takeout restaurant.
