Provided by Mark Bittman

Categories     main course

Time 30m

Yield 4 to 6 servings

Number Of Ingredients 14

3 tablespoons peanut oil or neutral oil, like corn or canola
1 medium onion, roughly chopped
1 bell pepper, stemmed, cored and roughly chopped
1 1/2 cups chopped boneless chicken
1 cup peas (defrost if frozen)
1 tablespoon minced garlic, or to taste
1 tablespoon minced ginger, or to taste
3 to 4 cups cooked rice, cooled
2 eggs, lightly beaten
1/4 cup xiao shing wine, or sherry or white wine, or water
2 tablespoons soy sauce
1 tablespoon sesame oil
Salt and ground black pepper to taste
1/4 cup minced scallion or cilantro

Steps:

  • Put 1 tablespoon oil in a wok or a large skillet, preferably nonstick, and turn heat to high. A minute later, add onion and pepper and cook, stirring occasionally, until softened and beginning to brown, 5 to 10 minutes. With slotted spoon, remove to a bowl.
  • Add chicken to skillet and cook over high heat, stirring infrequently, until nicely browned, 5 to 10 minutes. Add to bowl with vegetables. Drain peas if necessary and add them to skillet; cook, shaking pan, for about a minute, or until hot. Add them to bowl.

Tips:

  • Use high-quality ingredients: Fresh, flavorful ingredients will make all the difference in your fried rice. Look for firm, crisp vegetables and fluffy, fragrant rice.
  • Cook the rice ahead of time: Cold, cooked rice is essential for good fried rice. Cook it the day before or at least a few hours before you plan to make the dish.
  • Use a well-seasoned wok or skillet: A well-seasoned wok or skillet will help to prevent the rice from sticking and will give it a nice, smoky flavor.
  • Heat the wok or skillet over high heat: The wok or skillet should be very hot before you add the rice. This will help to create a nice, crispy texture.
  • Add the rice in small batches: Don't overcrowd the wok or skillet. Cook the rice in small batches so that it has room to spread out and cook evenly.
  • Stir the rice frequently: Stir the rice constantly so that it doesn't stick to the wok or skillet. This will also help to prevent the rice from becoming dry.
  • Add the vegetables and other ingredients at the end: The vegetables and other ingredients should be added to the rice towards the end of the cooking process. This will help to prevent them from becoming overcooked.
  • Season the rice to taste: Season the rice with soy sauce, fish sauce, or other seasonings to taste. You can also add a squeeze of lime juice or a sprinkle of chili flakes for extra flavor.

Conclusion:

Fried rice with cilantro and peas is a delicious and easy-to-make dish that is perfect for a quick and easy meal. With a few simple tips, you can make fried rice that is fluffy, flavorful, and packed with vegetables. So next time you're looking for a quick and easy meal, give this recipe a try.
