  wok, or pan on high heat. Add a tablespoon of neutral oil, then add the
  marinated diced chicken. Cook for 3 minutes, stirring occasionally, then add the
  shrimp. Cook for another 2 minutes, or until the shrimp is no longer opaque and
  the chicken is cooked. Use a meat thermometer [https://amzn.to/3vJEzvM] to check
  that the inside of the chicken is at 165F, or cut a piece open to see if it’s no
  longer pink.
• 6 Remove the chicken and shrimp into a bowl and set aside.
• 7 To the pan, add another tablespoon of oil and the sliced scallions. Cook for 1-2
  minutes, or until the some scallions have turned slightly brown, then add the
  rice and a pinch of salt. Use a wooden spoon to break apart the fried rice and
  toss with the scallions. Cook for 4-5 minutes.
• 8 To the rice, add the sliced snap peas, red bell pepper, and another large pinch
  of salt. Toss and cook for 2 minutes. Add a teaspoon of balsamic vinegar, then
  the cooked chicken and shrimp. Cook for another 2 minutes, then turn off the
  heat. Taste, adjust seasoning as desired, then serve.
