Instructions

  1. Step 1

    Heat 2 tbsp oil in a large skillet over medium-high until shimmering, about 90 seconds.

  2. Step 2

    Add chicken and cook, stirring occasionally, until golden and cooked through, 6–7 minutes.

  3. Step 3

    Whisk soy sauce, vinegar, sugar, and red pepper flakes together, then pour over chicken.

  4. Step 4

    Stir and cook until sauce becomes glossy and coats the chicken, about 2 minutes.

  5. Step 5

    Push chicken to one side and add 2 cups cooked rice to the pan, stirring to warm and lightly toast, 2 minutes.

  6. Step 6

    Divide rice into bowls, top with crispy chicken and sauce, and serve with sliced cucumber and tomato on the side.
