Instructions

  1. Step 1

    Heat 2 tbsp oil in a 12-inch skillet over medium-high until shimmering, about 1 minute.

  3. Step 3

    Add rice, breaking up clumps, and stir-fry until the grains separate and edges look slightly crispy, ~3 minutes.

  4. Step 4

    Stir in peas, carrots, chicken (or shrimp), chili crisp, and soy sauce until evenly coated.

  5. Step 5

    Toss in most of the scallions and cook for 30 seconds until fragrant.
