  • 1 Tbsp (15ml) fresh lime juice
  • 1 Tbsp (15g) toasted sesame seeds
  • 1 Tbsp (15g) crispy fried shallots (optional)

Instructions

  1. Prepare Rice: Use day-old jasmine rice for best texture.
  2. Make Crema: Whisk yogurt, lime juice, and cilantro.
  3. Sauté Aromatics: Stir-fry onion and garlic until fragrant.
  4. Cook Chicken: Add chicken and stir-fry until browned.
  5. Scramble Eggs: Scramble eggs and mix with chicken.
