CHINESE FRIED RICE



Chinese Fried Rice image

This Chinese fried rice has the flavor those other recipes are missing. Tastes like takeout. I want to dedicate this dish to Bergy, whose recipe "AM & B's Indonesian Mehoon" has inspired this dish. Make sure you season your rice with salt before it cooks. Add some butter to the cooking water, as well. Other seasonings should be added before you cook, as well, so it has time to get inside the rice. If you like sesame flavor, add 1 tsp. of it after you add the green onions, but do not use it as a cooking oil because it easily burns.

STIR-FRIED BEAN SPROUTS WITH SPROUTED BROWN RICE



Stir-Fried Bean Sprouts With Sprouted Brown Rice image

The sprouts I find most often at the supermarket are mung bean sprouts. But lately I've also found pea sprouts, which are more delicate and have a delicious fresh flavor. The stir-fry time is much shorter for pea sprouts, about one to two minutes total.

Categories     dinner, easy, weekday, one pot, main course

Time 50m

Yield Serves three to four

Number Of Ingredients 14

1 cup sprouted brown rice, cooked 3 cups cooked rice
1 tablespoon soy sauce low-sodium if desired
1 tablespoon Shao Hsing rice wine or dry sherry
2 teaspoons dark Asian sesame oil
1/4 to 1/2 teaspoon salt (to taste)
1/4 teaspoon ground pepper, preferably white pepper
1/4 teaspoon sugar
2 tablespoons peanut oil or canola oil
1 tablespoon minced garlic
1 tablespoon minced ginger
1 medium red bell pepper, cut in 1/4-inch-by-2-inch matchsticks 1 cup julienne
4 cups bean sprouts about 3/4 pound
1/4 cup thinly sliced scallions
1/4 cup coarsely chopped cilantro (optional)

Steps:

  • Cook the brown rice, and keep warm. It takes about 40 minutes to cook, so while it's simmering you can prepare your ingredients for the stir-fry.
  • In a small bowl or measuring cup, combine the soy sauce, rice wine or sherry, and the sesame oil. Combine the salt, pepper and sugar in another small bowl. Have all the ingredients within arm's length of your pan.
  • Heat a 14-inch flat-bottomed wok or 12-inch steel skillet over high heat until a drop of water quickly evaporates in the pan. Add 1 tablespoon of the oil to the sides of the pan and tilt the pan to distribute. Add the garlic and ginger, and stir-fry for no more than 10 seconds. Add the red pepper, and stir-fry for one minute, then add the bean sprouts and scallions. Stir-fry for about 30 seconds. Add the salt, pepper and sugar. Toss together, and add the soy sauce mixture. Stir-fry for one to two minutes until the vegetables are crisp-tender. Stir in the cilantro, and serve with the rice.

SPICY FRIED RICE WITH CHICKEN, BEAN SPROUTS AND PEANUTS



Spicy Fried Rice With Chicken, Bean Sprouts and Peanuts image

This dish is a mash-up of fried rice and pad Thai; the chicken is an accent to the rest of the dish. Using more veggies and carbs, and less meat and dairy, is a hallmark of Mark Bittman's new _The Food Matters Cookbook_, which is the source of this recipe. Adapted from Caroline Russock's post at Serious Eats. http://bit.ly/gysmIT

Categories     One Dish Meal

Time 30m

Yield 4 serving(s)

Number Of Ingredients 16

3 tablespoons vegetable oil, divided
1/2 cup sliced scallion
1 carrot, chopped
3 cups bean sprouts
8 ounces boneless skinless chicken breasts or 8 ounces boneless skinless chicken thighs, cut into pieces of the same size
1 tablespoon minced garlic (about 6 medium cloves)
2 cups cooked long-grain brown rice, preferably chilled
1 egg
1/2 cup coconut milk
2 tablespoons nam pla (fish sauce)
salt
fresh ground black pepper
1/4 cup chopped peanuts
1/2 cup chopped fresh Thai basil or 1/2 cup regular basil
1 small green Thai chiles or 1 small bird's eye chile, seeded and sliced
lime wedge

Steps:

  • Put 1 tablespoon oil in a large skillet over high heat. When it shimmers and emits wisps of smoke, add the scallions, carrot, and bean sprouts. Saute, stirring occasionally, until the vegetables soften and begin to brown, 3 to 5 minutes. Lower the heat if it looks like it might burn. Transfer the vegetables to a bowl with a slotted spoon.
  • Add 1 tablespoon of oil to the pan, followed by the chicken pieces; cook, stirring occasionally, over high heat until the chicken is no longer pink, 3 to 5 minutes. Using a slotted spoon, add chicken to the bowl with the vegetables, leaving as much oil in the pan as possible.
  • Put the last tablespoon of oil in the skillet, followed by the garlic. When fragrant, about 15 seconds, add the rice a bit at a time, breaking up any clumps with your fingers and stirring it into the oil. When all the rice is added, make a well in the center and break the egg into it; scramble it a bit, then stir it thoroughly into the rice.
  • Return the chicken and vegetables to the pan and stir to combine well. Add the coconut milk and cook, stirring, until most of the liquid has boiled off, just a minute or so. Add the fish sauce, then taste and season with salt and pepper. Turn off the heat and stir in the peanuts, basil, and chiles. Serve with the lime wedges.
