Once the wok is thoroughly heated, pour in 2 teaspoons of oil. When the oil is shimmering, add the chicken and sauté on high heat until it is evenly browned and fully cooked, which should take about 3 to 4 minutes. Remove from the wok and set aside.

Pour in the remaining oil, then add the onion, scallions, and garlic to the wok. Sauté for about 1 minute, then if desired, toss in the chili pepper, followed by the tomatoes, and mix in all the rice.
