1
For the marinade, mix the soy sauce, sugar, tomato paste and oil in a large bowl and season. Place the chicken pieces, a few at a time, in a large resealable plastic bag. Pound with a rolling pin until they are about 1/4-inch thick. Add the chicken pieces to the marinade and turn to coat well. Cover and refrigerate for 2 hours to marinate.
2
Preheat the oven to 400u00b0F. Line a baking pan with parchment paper. Place the chicken pieces in a single layer on the pan. Bake for about 20 mins or until chicken is cooked through.
3
Cook the rice in boiling, salted water according to package directions. Meanwhile, beat the eggs in a medium bowl. Season with salt, pepper and nutmeg. When the rice is cooked, drain and return to the warm pan. Briskly stir in the eggs.
4
Remove the chicken from the oven and sprinkle with the sesame seeds. Serve the chicken and rice, sprinkled with green onions.
