# How To Make It:
01 - In a medium bowl, combine diced chicken with soy sauce, cornstarch, and black pepper. Toss until evenly coated and allow to marinate for 10 minutes.
02 - Heat 1 tablespoon vegetable oil in a large wok or skillet over medium-high heat. Add marinated chicken and stir-fry until fully cooked through, approximately 4 to 5 minutes. Transfer to a clean plate and set aside.
03 - Add remaining oil to the pan. Introduce garlic, carrot, and red bell pepper to the wok. Stir-fry for 2 to 3 minutes until vegetables achieve tender-crisp texture.
04 - Push vegetables to the sides of the wok and pour beaten eggs into the center. Allow to set for 30 seconds, then scramble and integrate with the vegetables until fully cooked.
05 - Add cold cooked rice to the wok, breaking apart any clumps with the spatula. Stir-fry for 2 minutes until rice is heated through and combined with other ingredients.
06 - Return cooked chicken to the wok along with diced pineapple, frozen peas, and sliced green onions. Toss to distribute evenly.
07 - In a small bowl, whisk together sweet chili sauce, soy sauce, fish sauce, and sesame oil. Pour sauce over rice mixture and toss thoroughly, ensuring even coating and consistent heating throughout.
08 - Remove from heat immediately. Transfer to serving bowls and garnish with roasted nuts, fresh cilantro, and lime wedges.
