Method · 30 min
  1. Fry the nuggets on both sides in oil. Set aside.
  2. Heat a splash of vegetable and sesame oil in a wok or a large frying pan. Fry the ginger and the white part of the scallion in it.
  3. Add the cooked rice and continue frying. Season with Chinese cinnamon, salt, pepper, and a little sugar. Then, stir in the soy sauce and crush the grated ginger with your hand to release its juice.
  4. Once the rice has absorbed all the flavors, add the egg omelet, bell pepper, and the green part of the scallion. Adjust the seasoning with salt and sesame oil.
  5. Add the nuggets and stir carefully.
  6. Serve hot.
