Cook the rice according to package instructions. Spread the cooked rice on a baking sheet and let it dry out for a few hours or overnight.
Heat the vegetable oil in a frying pan over medium-high heat. Add the dried rice and fry until crispy and golden brown. Remove and drain on paper towels.
In a large pot, bring the chicken broth to a boil. Add the shredded chicken, frozen peas and carrots, soy sauce, sesame oil, salt, and white pepper. Simmer for 5-10 minutes.
Just before serving, add the crispy rice to the soup. Serve immediately and enjoy!
