Prepare your ingredients first because this is a fast recipe. So dice chicken and vegetables, whisk eggs with a splash of soy sauce, and whisk together soy sauce, oyster sauce, and sesame seed oil (if using).
Preheat a large wok or a large non-stick cooking pan with tall sides over medium-high heat. Add some oil and sauté chicken with soy sauce until just done. Take it out of the pan and set it aside.
Add a little more oil to the pan if needed and add onions and carrots. Cook onions and carrots until softened and then add peas. Cook for a minute or so.
Make a little well in the middle of the veggies and add garlic and ginger and a little splash of oil. Sauté just until flagrant and mix it in with the vegetables.
Spread the veggies to the sides of the pan and pour in whisked egg in the middle. Cover the pan with a lid and let it cook for a couple minutes, until almost cooked through.
Once eggs are mostly cooked, fluff the rice and add it to the pan. Stir rice, vegetables, and egg together to mix.
Add back chicken and stir to combine.
Pour sauce mixture all over the rice and mix to coat everything evenly with sauce. Sauté for a couple of minutes to heat through and combine, take off heat, and serve.

Notes
Forgot to make rice ahead of time? If you don’t have any leftover fried rice and forgot to make some the day before, I do have a trick. Cook the rice fist and then spread it on a large plate or a rimmed baking sheet. Pop it into the refrigerator and let it chill for 15-20 minutes.Gluten Free Notes: you can easily make it gluten free IF you use gluten free soy sauce and gluten free oyster sauce. There are brands of both sauces that make it in a gluten free version. So check the labels when shopping and find ones marked “gluten free.” If you cannot find gluten free soy sauce, use tamari or coconut aminos.Other vegetables to add: You can also add corn, bell peppers, green onion, broccoli, cauliflower, green beans. Any dense and hearty vegetables would be nice, just make sure to finely dice it so there are no large chunks.
