Chicken Fried Rice (Umami flavoured)

In a bowl, combine chicken cubes with soy sauce, cornstarch, black pepper powder, chilli flakes, and olive oil. Marinate for 15-20 minutes.

Heat oil in a pan and deep-fry or shallow-fry the marinated chicken until golden brown and fully cooked. Drain on a paper towel and set aside.

Mix soy sauce, oyster sauce, sugar, and lemon juice in a small bowl until well combined. Set aside.

Heat olive oil in a large wok or pan. Add chopped garlic, and bird's eye chillies. Sauté until fragrant.

Add cubed onions and capsicum, stir-frying on high heat for 1-2 minutes.

Add the cooked rice and stir to combine.

Pour the prepared sauce over the rice, ensuring it coats everything evenly.

Add the cooked chicken and stir-fry for another 2 minutes.

Sprinkle in the chopped spring onion greens and give everything a final toss.
