Directions
  1. In an extra-large nonstick skillet, heat 1 tbsp. peanut oil over medium-high heat until shimmering but not smoking.

  6. Add sesame oil and rice; stir-fry until rice is hot and starting to get crispy on the edges (2-3 min.).
  7. Stir in soy sauce.
  8. Add chicken, peas and reserved egg; cook and stir until everything is hot (2-3 min.).
