INSTRUCTIONS:

  1. In a small bowl, combine the soy-sauce, mustard, chili paste, and sesame oil.  Stir to blend evenly.  Set aside for later use.
  2. Season the chicken with salt and pepper.  Set a large, nonstick wok or skillet over medium-high heat until it is hot enough for a spritz of water to sizzle on it.  With an oven mitt, briefly remove the pan from the heat to lightly mist with olive oil spray.
  3. Scatter the chicken into the pan.  Cook, stirring occasionally, for about 3 minutes, or until browned on all sides and no longer pink inside.  Transfer to a plate.  Cover to keep warm.
  4. Off the heat, lightly mist the pan with olive oil spray.  Set over medium-high heat.  Add the green onions, carrots, and garlic to the pan.  Cook, stirring frequently, for 2 minutes, or until the mixture is hot.
  5. Create a well with the rice and veggies to expose the center of the pan.  Off the heat, lightly mist the empty part with olive oil spray.
  6. Add the egg whites.  Stir to mix the egg whites into the rice.  Cook for 1 to 2 minutes, or until the egg whites are completely cooked.
  7. Return the chicken to the pan.  Stir in the reserved soy sauce and mustard mixture.
  8. Cook, stirring constantly, for about 1 minute, or until hot.

ENJOY!
