Yield 4

Number Of Ingredients 10

2 tablespoons vegetable oil
1 large egg, beaten

Kosher salt
1 cup thinly sliced snow peas
1 teaspoon finely grated peeled fresh ginger

Add the remaining tablespoon of oil, then add the snow peas, ginger, soy sauce and 1/4 teaspoon salt and cook, stirring constantly, until crisp-tender, 1 to 2 minutes.
  • Add the rice, stirring to break up any clumps, and spread it out evenly in the skillet. Cook until heated through, about 3 minutes. Return the egg, chicken and any juices to the skillet and cook, stirring and breaking up the egg to mix it in thoroughly, about 1 minute. Season with additional salt if needed. Add the peanuts and scallions and serve.

Tips:

  • Mise en place: Before you start cooking, make sure you have all of your ingredients prepped and measured. This will help you stay organized and ensure that your fried rice is cooked evenly.
  • Use day-old rice: Day-old rice is less sticky and will produce better fried rice. If you don't have day-old rice, you can spread freshly cooked rice on a baking sheet and let it cool completely before using.
  • Use a hot wok or skillet: A hot wok or skillet will help to create the signature wok hei, or "breath of the wok," flavor in your fried rice.
  • Don't overcrowd the wok or skillet: If you overcrowd the wok or skillet, the rice will steam instead of fry. Cook the rice in batches if necessary.
  • Season to taste: Add soy sauce, fish sauce, and white pepper to taste. You can also add other seasonings, such as garlic powder, onion powder, or ginger powder.
  • Serve immediately: Fried rice is best served immediately after it is cooked. The longer it sits, the more the rice will absorb the sauce and become mushy.

Conclusion:

Chicken, snow pea, and cashew fried rice is a delicious and easy-to-make dish that is perfect for a quick and healthy meal. With a few simple tips, you can make restaurant-quality fried rice at home. So next time you're looking for a tasty and satisfying meal, give this recipe a try.
