- To a large skillet over medium-high heat, add 2 tbsp of the olive oil. Once hot, add the diced onion and sauté for 3-4 minutes. Stir in the garlic and ginger and cook for one minute.
- Stir in the chicken, rice, and mixed vegetables and cook for 4 minutes, stirring occasionally. To a small bowl crack the eggs and whisk until well beaten.
