Method

1. Heat 2 teaspoons of oil in a wok or frying pan over high heat. Add the chicken and stir-fry for 2 minutes or until cooked. Transfer to a plate.

Notes & tips
Tip: If you're not in a hurry, for the most authentic result, cook the rice a day ahead, spread it over a shallow dish and store, uncovered, in the fridge overnight. This prevents the rice sticking together in the wok.
