Method
 

Step-by-Step Instructions
  1. Prepare the Ingredients: Slice your chosen protein into bite-sized pieces and dice the onion. Rinse and chop the Chinese broccoli and tomatoes, then finely mince the garlic and chili. Beat the eggs until smooth.
  2. Cook the Protein: Heat a wok or large skillet over medium-high heat and add a splash of oil. Toss in the protein and stir-fry for 3-4 minutes until golden and just cooked through. Remove from the pan and set aside.
  3. Scramble the Eggs: In the same pan, add a little more oil if needed, then pour in the beaten eggs. Cook undisturbed for a minute, then scramble gently until just set. Push the eggs to one side of the pan.
  4. Stir-Fry the Vegetables: Add minced garlic and chili to the pan, stirring for about 30 seconds until fragrant. Toss in the onions, Chinese broccoli, and tomatoes, stir-frying for 2-3 minutes.
  5. Combine All Ingredients: Add cooked jasmine rice to the pan, breaking up clumps. Mix in the set-aside protein and scrambled eggs. Pour in fish sauce, soy sauce, and oyster sauce, stirring for another 3-4 minutes.
  6. Final Seasoning and Serving: Adjust seasoning with sugar if desired. Serve garnished with fresh herbs, lime wedges, and cucumber slices.
