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.
  • Put remaining oil in skillet, followed by garlic and ginger. About 15 seconds later, add rice, a bit at a time, breaking up clumps with your fingers and tossing it with oil. When all rice is added, make a well in the center and break eggs into it; scramble them a bit, then incorporate into rice.
  • Return chicken and vegetables to skillet and stir to integrate. Add wine or water and cook, stirring, for about a minute. Add soy sauce and sesame oil, then taste and add salt and pepper if necessary. Turn off heat, stir in scallion or cilantro, and serve.

Tips:

  • Use leftover rice: Fried rice is a great way to use up leftover rice. It's best to use rice that is at least a day old, as it will be less sticky and easier to fry.
  • Choose the right vegetables: Peas and carrots are classic fried rice vegetables, but you can use any vegetables you like. Some other popular choices include broccoli, bell peppers, and corn.
  • Season the rice well: Fried rice should be flavorful, so don't be afraid to season it well. Use a combination of soy sauce, oyster sauce, and fish sauce to add umami flavor. You can also add some garlic, ginger, and chili pepper for a bit of heat.
  • Cook the rice in a hot wok: A hot wok is essential for making good fried rice. The high heat will help to create a nice sear on the rice and prevent it from becoming mushy.
  • Don't overcrowd the wok: When you're cooking fried rice, it's important not to overcrowd the wok. If you add too much rice or vegetables at once, the rice will not cook evenly and will become mushy.

Conclusion:

Fried rice with peas and carrots is a delicious and easy-to-make dish that is perfect for a quick and easy meal. With a few simple ingredients and a little bit of time, you can create a flavorful and satisfying dish that the whole family will enjoy.
