# Step-by-Step Guide:

01 - Prepare all ingredients and arrange them at your cooking station for efficient assembly.
02 - Heat 1 tablespoon of vegetable oil in a large wok or skillet over medium-high heat. Add shredded or diced chicken and cook for 2 minutes until heated through. Transfer to a clean plate.
03 - Add the remaining 1 tablespoon of oil to the pan. Add minced garlic and grated ginger; stir-fry for 30 seconds until fragrant.
04 - Add the coleslaw mix and cook for 2-3 minutes, stirring frequently, until vegetables are softened but retain some crispness.
05 - Push vegetables to one side of the pan. Crack eggs into the empty space and scramble until just set, then incorporate into the vegetables.
06 - Add cooked rice, reserved chicken, soy sauce, oyster sauce if using, sesame oil, and white pepper. Toss thoroughly and stir-fry for 3-4 minutes, breaking up any rice clumps.
07 - Stir in green onions and sriracha or chili sauce if desired. Cook for 1 additional minute. Taste and adjust seasoning as needed.
08 - Transfer to serving plates while hot. Garnish with additional green onions if desired.
