📖 The Story Behind This Dish

The origin of the name "Aeropuerto" (airport) is debated, but the idea of piling fried rice and fried noodles onto one plate captures the practical, generous spirit of immigrant cooking. Chicken is the traditional protein.

🌆 Where it's eaten: A popular order for anyone who can't decide between rice and noodles at a chifa restaurant.

Boil the noodles per package instructions, drain, and toss with oil. Cut the chicken into bite-sized pieces.
Scramble the beaten egg in oil until softly set; remove.
Heat oil in a pan, fry the garlic until fragrant, then add the chicken and cook through.
Stir-fry half the chicken with the bean sprouts, half the green onion, and the boiled noodles; season with half the soy sauce to make the fried noodles, then remove.
In the same pan, stir-fry the rice with the remaining chicken, the scrambled egg, soy sauce, and sesame oil to make the fried rice.
Plate the fried rice and fried noodles side by side, and scatter the remaining green onion on top to finish.
