Perfect Thai Fried Rice With Marinated Chicken
  1. 1

    Combine chicken thighs, 2 tablespoons soy sauce, brown sugar, and black pepper in a bowl. Cover and marinate in the refrigerator for 2 hours to overnight.

  2. 2

    Heat a wok or a very large skillet over high heat for 30 seconds. Add vegetable oil. Reduce the heat to medium; add the onion and garlic. Cook and stir until fragrant, about 2 minutes.

  3. 3

    Increase the heat to high and add the marinated chicken to the wok; cook, stirring constantly, until no longer pink, about 4 minutes.

  4. 4

    Push the chicken mixture to one side of the wok; pour the eggs into the empty side. Cook until just starting to set, about 2 minutes. Stir the eggs slowly until scrambled; mix them into the chicken mixture. Season with 3 tablespoons soy sauce, sugar, and white pepper; stir for 1 minute.

  5. 5

    Stir the rice into the wok until evenly incorporated and heated through, about 4 minutes. Remove from the heat; stir in green onion and cilantro. Mix gently until combined.

How easyChef Pro Scores This Recipe

easyChef Pro gives every recipe a health score from 0 to 100, built from more than 30 nutritional parameters including nutrient density, energy density and glycemic impact. It calculates rather than estimates, so the same recipe returns the same score every time.

The number is traceable. You can see exactly which nutrient moved it, so a dish scoring 78 might show fiber pushing it up while sodium pulls it down, alongside the NOVA processing level of each ingredient.

Your health goal changes the calculation itself, not just a filter. easyChef Pro applies clinically derived weighting across six health dimensions, which is why the same dish can score well for one goal and poorly for another.

Swap an ingredient or change the serving size and that math changes with it. Scoring your own version is the only way to see what your kitchen actually produces.
