Ginger-Soy Rotisserie Fried Rice

Turn rotisserie chicken into a gourmet stir-fry in minutes with aromatic ginger matchsticks, toasted sesame, and a sweet-savory mirin glaze.

This Ginger-Soy Rotisserie Fried Rice is the ultimate weeknight hero. By combining the convenience of savory rotisserie chicken with a base of professional-grade Amoy rice, this dish focuses its flavor on a punchy duo of fresh julienne ginger and toasted sesame oil. A splash of mirin adds a sophisticated sweetness that balances the salty soy, resulting in a glossy, fragrant stir-fry that tastes like it took hours to prepare.

Ingredients

Directions

Sizzle the Aromatics

  1. Heat the sesame oil in a large wok or non-stick skillet over high heat.
  2. Add the julienne ginger and chopped garlic. Stir-fry for only 30 seconds until the oil is fragrant and the garlic is just beginning to turn golden.

Sear the Chicken & Rice

  1. Toss in the pulled rotisserie chicken and the Amoy Fried Rice.
  2. Spread the rice out and let it sit undisturbed for about 60 seconds to get those “crispy bits” that make fried rice delicious.

Season and Glaze

  1. Pour the soy sauce and mirin around the edges of the pan so they sizzle before hitting the rice.
  2. Toss everything together for another 2 minutes until the rice is steaming and the chicken is fully glazed.
  3. Remove from heat and fold in the scallions. Serving immediately preserves the bright crunch of the onions.
