Why This Recipe Is So Good
This dish combines the bold flavors of Chinese spices with the comforting texture of biryani rice. It’s a unique fusion that is both fragrant and satisfying. You get the best of both worlds in one delicious meal.
Step 1
Beat the eggs with a pinch of salt, pepper, and a little yellow food coloring. Heat some oil in a pan and quickly cook the eggs, then cut them into small pieces.
Step 2
Heat oil in a wok, add minced garlic, and sauté for about a minute. Toss in the chicken and cook until it’s no longer pink, about 5-7 minutes.
Step 3
Season the chicken with salt, chilies, and pepper, and let it cook for another couple of minutes.
Step 4
Stir in soy sauce, vinegar, and chili sauce. Cook for 3-4 minutes, then add the carrots and cook for a few more minutes before mixing in the capsicum and cabbage.
Step 5
Take half of the cooked chicken out and set it aside. Add the boiled rice to the wok, then return the chicken you set aside, along with the cooked eggs and chopped spring onions.
Step 6
Give everything a good mix, cover the wok, and let it cook on low heat for about 10 minutes so the flavors come together.
Step 7
Turn off the heat and serve it up hot!

Frequently Asked Questions
Can I use brown rice instead of boiled white rice?
