Fried Rice with Chicken, Thai Style

First, chop the chicken into small pieces and gather all the ingredients. Cut the onion in half twice (into quarters), separate the layers and place in a bowl. Peel the garlic and chop finely. Put a few broccoli florets, a handful of bean sprouts and Chinese cabbage in a second bowl. Now heat the pan with oil. As soon as the oil is very hot, add the garlic and the chicken. Fry until half cooked. Now crack the egg into the pan and break it up with a spatula, i.e. fry it like a boiled fried egg, until everything is slightly firm. Mix with the chicken, breaking it up continuously with the spatula. Add the onion and sugar. Fry briefly and then add the rice, pressing it briefly into the bottom and cooking. Add a dash each of light and dark soy sauce and fish sauce to the rice. Please be careful: only use a very small amount of dark soy sauce, otherwise the rice will be too salty. The same applies to the other two sauces; less is more. This isn’t a saucey dish; the rice is simply coated in the sauce. Mix everything together and fry until the rice changes color. Add the remaining vegetables in the last minute and fry for a minute. Season to taste and add salt if desired. Everything is now ready to serve and just needs to be sprinkled with freshly chopped coriander. Variations: Let your imagination run wild here. Whatever vegetables you have in the fridge, like spring onions, leeks, leaf spinach, carrots (julienne cut), cauliflower, tomatoes—anything that needs to be used up, can be used. Pork, beef, and seafood will, of course, also work instead of chicken. And please note: This dish requires your full attention at the pan and is cooked on the highest heat the entire time.
