For Rice: I like to cook my white rice ahead of time for easy assembly. You can use a rice cooker, boil it on the stove to package instructions, or even buy pre-cooked rice.
Start by adding toasted sesame oil, minced garlic, and frozen vegetables to a skillet on medium-high heat. Cook until the frozen peas & carrots have de-thawed.
Next, add in the eggs and scramble in with the mixed vegetables. Lower the heat if needed to ensure that the eggs do not burn.
Add in the chicken of your choice along with the rice. Give the ingredients a good mix.
Once everything is well incorporated, add in the coconut aminos and ground ginger. Let the rice sit on the stove for 5 minutes or so, stirring frequently so it only gets slightly crispy.
Top with green onions, crushed peanuts, red cabbage, or sriracha! Enjoy :)
