3 large eggs, beaten
4 cups chicken stock
1TBSP cornstarch
1/2TSP grated ginger
1-2TBSP soy sauce
3 green onions cut
1/4TSP white pepper
3/4 cup mushrooms
Add everything to pot put but eggs and cornstarch. Bring to light boil til mushrooms are cooked. Doesn’t take long. Stir in beat eggs. I sometimes thicken it with cornstarch and sometimes I don’t want it like that. This time we didn’t thicken it.

2TBSP sesame oil
2TBSP vegetable oil
3/4 to 1 pound boneless skinless chicken breasts, diced (can use boneless skinless thighs)
1 1/2 cups frozen peas and diced carrots blend

3 large eggs, beaten scrambled
6 cups cooked rice
4TBSP soy sauce
salt and pepper, optional
In a large non-stick skillet or wok, add the oils, chicken, and cook over medium-high heat for about 5 minutes, flipping so all cooks evenly. Cooking time will vary based on thickness of chicken breasts and sizes of pieces. Remove chicken with a slotted spoon and place chicken on a plate, set aside.
Add the peas, carrots, green onions, and cook for about 2 minutes, or until vegetables begin to soften, stir.
Add the garlic and cook for 1 minute. Add the scrambled eggs.
Add the chicken, rice, evenly drizzle with soy sauce, optional salt and pepper, and stir to combine. Cook for about 2 minutes til the rice nicely fried and colored.
