Prep

Step 1. Mix Cornstarch and Water in a small bowl until smooth.

Cook

Step 2. Heat half the Vegetable Oil in a large skillet over medium-high heat. Cook Onion and Chicken Breast, stirring, until the onion softens and the chicken turns opaque on the outside, about 5 minutes.
Step 3. Add Garlic, Curry Powder and Five Spice. Stir over medium heat until fragrant, about 30 seconds.
Step 4. Pour in Chicken Broth and half the Soy Sauce, scraping the pan. Bring to a simmer, then cook over medium-low heat until the chicken is cooked through with no pink inside, about 6 minutes.
Step 5. Stir in Peas. Stir the slurry again and pour it into the skillet; simmer until the peas are hot and the sauce is thick enough to coat a spoon, about 3 minutes. Turn off the heat.
Step 6. Meanwhile, heat the rest of the Vegetable Oil in a large nonstick skillet over medium-high heat. Add Eggs and scramble until just set, about 1 minute.
Step 7. Add Jasmine Rice and the rest of the Soy Sauce to the eggs. Stir-fry over medium-high heat until the rice is hot throughout, about 4 minutes. Divide among bowls and spoon the curry over it.

Tips

Good to know

Check that the chicken reaches 165°F in the center of the thickest piece.

Make ahead

Cook the rice ahead, spread it out to cool promptly, and refrigerate it until ready to fry.

Swap it

Use gluten-free tamari instead of soy sauce if needed, and check that the stock and curry powder are gluten-free.
