Ingredients

  • 3 cups cooked rice
  • 4 large eggs
  • 1 lb chicken breast
  • ¼ cup peanut butter
  • 3 tbsp soy sauce
  • 3 cloves garlic
  • 4 tbsp vegetable oil
  • 1 medium cucumber

Instructions

  1. 1

    Cut the 1 lb chicken breast into 1-inch cubes and thread onto skewers. In a small bowl, mix 2 tbsp soy sauce and 1 minced garlic clove; brush over the chicken and set aside.

  2. 2

    In another bowl, whisk together 1/4 cup peanut butter, 1 tbsp soy sauce, 1 minced garlic clove, and 3 tbsp water until smooth. Set aside.

  3. 3

    Heat 2 tbsp vegetable oil in a large skillet over medium-high. Add the chicken skewers and cook until golden and cooked through, about 8 minutes, turning occasionally. Remove and keep warm.

  4. 4

    In the same skillet, add 2 tbsp vegetable oil. Crack in 4 eggs and fry until the whites are set but yolks are still runny, about 3 minutes. Remove and set aside.

  5. 5

    Add the remaining 1 minced garlic clove to the skillet and stir for 30 seconds until fragrant. Add the 3 cups cooked rice and 1 tbsp soy sauce; stir-fry until the rice is hot and slightly crispy, about 5 minutes.

  6. 6

    Slice the 1 cucumber into rounds. Serve the fried rice topped with the fried eggs and chicken skewers, with cucumber slices on the side and the peanut sauce drizzled over everything.
