Method

Dice the chicken small, season it and fry in the rapeseed oil over the highest heat for three minutes until browned. Push it to one side.
Crack the egg into the empty side and scramble it with the spatula until just set, then break it up.
Add the garlic and the cold rice, pressing it against the wok and leaving it for thirty seconds at a time so it catches, for about three minutes.
Stir in the peas, soy and pepper, cook for a minute more, and finish with the sesame oil and spring onion off the heat.

Worth knowing

Takeaway fried rice is cooked in far more oil than this. Five grams is enough when the wok is hot and the rice is cold and dry.
The egg and chicken together are about 40 g of protein, which is where this differs from a side portion of fried rice.
