Instructions

Cook rice and allow to cool over night. See notes for more tips.
Dice all the ingredients, scramble the eggs, and make the soy sauce mix. Have everything ready to go.
Warm-up one side of the griddle to medium high heat and one burner of the grill on a low heat.
Add 1 tablespoon of the butter and melt.
Add chicken in a single layer and season with salt and pepper.
Grill until cooked all the way through, flipping halfway through cooking.
When chicken is no longer pink, move to the cool side of the grill or set aside on a plate for later.

Add diced carrots and season with salt and pepper.
Sauté carrots until soft.
Add frozen peas and corn and cook until warm.

Once veggies and eggs are cooked, bring everything together and mix well.
Add in the rice and use the spatula to break up the clumps and mix everything up.
Spread out in a thin layer.
Drizzle on the soy sauce mix and toss to coat all the rice. Start off with half the soy sauce, taste and add more to your liking.

Notes

This recipe can easily be doubled and we often do. When making fried rice, it's just as easy to make 8 cups vs 4 cups.

Notes on the Rice

To achieve the best-fried rice it is crucial to use cooked rice that has been cooled and chilled overnight. If the rice is still warm it will have too much moisture which will prevent it from frying. So make sure you are using day old, cold rice.

If there is no time to chill the rice overnight, one way to chill it fast is to line a rimmed baking sheet with parchment paper and lay the rice out in a single layer. Place in the freezer for a few hours and then it will be cold enough to use.
