The list of ingredients for 2 people:

• 2 eggs
• 3 tablespoons teriyaki sauce
• 1 onion
• 1 carrot
• 100 g of peas
• a handful of bean sprouts
• 120g basmati rice
• a few sprouts of new onion (optional)

For the chicken marinade:

• 2 chicken fillets
• a little salty soy sauce
• a splash of sweet soy sauce
• spices of your choice (paprika, cayenne pepper, etc.)

The steps of the recipe:

1. Start by cooking your basmati rice as directed on the package. Allow at least 10 minutes.
2. Cut the chicken fillets into small cubes. Place them in a salad bowl and pour in the salty and sweet soy sauce, as well as the spices of your choice. Mix everything well then set aside.
3. Heat a frying pan over medium heat with a little oil. When it is at temperature, break the eggs into it and mix them using a spatula. The goal is to have scrambled eggs that are not overcooked. Then put them aside.
4. In the same pan, brown your marinated chicken. When the pieces have caramelized well, add the teriyaki sauce. Mix again then set aside.
5. Slice the onion and carrot, then cook them for a few minutes in the same pan. Add the peas and bean sprouts. Cook for a few minutes over low heat, then add the basmati rice, scrambled eggs, chicken and mix to combine the ingredients well together. If you feel like it, sprinkle your dish with a few new onion shoots.
