- Heat oil in 12-inch nonstick skillet over medium-high heat. Add chicken and cook, stirring occasionally, until no longer pink. Add red bell pepper, carrots, and green onion. Cook, stirring constantly, for 3 to 4 minutes or until vegetables are tender.
- Meanwhile, stir together soy sauce, sherry, and chili sauce in a small bowl and set aside.
- Add cooked rice and thawed peas to the chicken and vegetables in the skillet. Continue to cook, stirring constantly, for 3 minutes.
- Reduce heat to medium, and stir in soy sauce mixture. With wooden spoon, push rice mixture to sides of skillet, making a large hole in center of skillet for preparing egg.
- Pour AllWhites egg whites into center of skillet. As egg starts to set (takes 4-5 minutes), use wooden spoon or spatula to slowly stir egg until eggs are cooked completely. Stir rice mixture into egg, and serve.

Better than Takeout Chicken Fried Rice Tips and Tricks
- Besides the health benefits of eating All Whites instead of whole eggs when cooking chicken fried rice, they are also much less wasteful than separating eggs yourself and discarding the yolks.
- So, I made this easy Chinese chicken fried rice with a shortcut: I used instant brown rice, which is ready in about 10 minutes. Using leftover rice would be great too. I don’t mind making regular brown rice sometimes, but on most days it’s hard to have 40 minutes to cook the rice!
- One quick tip before I get to the recipe: I was a little surprised at how long it took for the All Whites to start to cook. As the recipe instructs, I pushed the rice to the sides of the pan and created a little well in the center for my egg whites. I reduced the heat to low, poured in the All Whites, and it seemed like nothing happened for quite some time. I’d say it was a good five minutes before it started to set up, but then it happened pretty quickly.
I just thought I’d pass that along in case you started to panic about having a pool of raw eggs in the middle of your rice. Be patient, and the Chinese recipe will all come together!

Meg @ The Housewife in Training Files says
When I was eating eggs (before I knew I was allergic to them!), I loveddddd All Whites! It made my mornings and baking so much easier!
Andi says
Oh yikes, you can’t eat eggs or wheat?! You cook such amazing things with those limitations, you talented lady! Thank you, Meg :)
Heather | girlichef says
I love this product! I’m a “whole egg” kinda girl, but every once in a while I want to use just whites. I try to make sure I have a recipe to go with the yolks, but sometimes I wind up wasting them, so these are a lifesaver! This fried rice sounds fantastic.
Andi says
I made a recipe with egg whites a while ago and then didn’t know what to do with the yolks. I much prefer just buying the part I need, so I’ll use AllWhites next time. Thank you, Heather!
Laura | Petite allergy treats says
Love such a quick and healthy meal loaded with protein! This is a great way to use leftover rice too.
Andi says
Yes! We always order too much rice with takeout. Next time I’ll turn it into fried rice :) Thank you, Laura!

This looks amazing! There’s nothing better than a really good fried rice!
Andi says
Thanks so much, Jessica!!
Glenn Sullivan says
There is no quantity for the Egg Whites in the recipe… just a unit of measure of “cup”…
Andi says
Hi, Glenn. I corrected the recipe, which should call for one cup of egg whites. Sorry for the mistake, and thanks for letting me know!
Carol at Wild Goose Mama says
I love fried rice. I like the sherry added to it. Super healthy and thus guilt free fried rice—-even better. Quick & easy—even mo’ better.
I don’t normally talk about ME, but take note of the slight name change from Wild Goose Tea. New web design–whoopee and some new features.
Andi says
Ooh, I’m going to have to go check out this new features right this very minute, Mama :)
