Cooking steps
  1. 1

    Dice the century eggs and cooked chicken into small pieces; finely slice the scallions, separating white and green parts.

  2. 2

    Heat 1 tbsp vegetable oil in a wok over medium-high until shimmering; add whites of scallions and stir-fry for 30 seconds until fragrant.

  3. 3

    Push scallions aside, add remaining oil, pour in beaten eggs, and scramble gently, keeping them soft (do not overcook).

  4. 4

    Increase heat to high, add rice, breaking apart clumps, and toss with scallion-egg mixture for 1 minute.

  5. 5

    Add chicken, diced century eggs, soy sauce, white pepper, and salt. Stir-fry vigorously for 2–3 minutes, ensuring even heat and ingredients are coated.

  6. 6

    Drizzle sesame oil around the wok edge, toss in scallion greens, and stir-fry 30 seconds more until everything is combined and rice is slightly crisped.

  7. 7

    Serve immediately for best texture; avoid leaving fried rice in the wok as carryover heat may dry the rice.
