Categories     side-dish

Time 50m

Yield 4 to 6 servings

Number Of Ingredients 13

8 dried shiitake mushrooms
3 tablespoons peanut oil
2 large eggs, lightly beaten with a pinch of kosher salt
4 scallions (white and green), thinly sliced
1/4 cup minced carrot
1 large clove garlic, minced
Pinch red chile flakes
1 teaspoon minced peeled fresh ginger
2 tablespoons soy sauce
1 teaspoon toasted sesame oil
3 cups cooked long-grain rice
1 cup cooked meat cut in 1/2-inch cubes, such as pork, ham, beef, or chicken
1/2 cup frozen peas, defrosted in a strainer at room temperature

Steps:

  • Put the mushrooms in a small bowl and cover with boiling water and soak until re-hydrated, about 20 minutes. Drain, squeeze dry, and cut mushrooms in quarters. Set aside.
  • Heat 1 tablespoon of the peanut oil in a well-seasoned wok or large non-stick skillet over medium-high heat. Swirl to coat the pan. Pour in the eggs, swirl the pan so the egg forms a large thin pancake. (Lift the edge of the egg to allow any uncooked egg to run to the center.) As soon as the egg has set, turn it out of the pan onto a cutting board. Cool, cut into 1 inch pieces.
  • Wipe out the pan with a paper towel and heat the remaining peanut oil over high heat. Add the scallions and carrots and stir-fry for 1 1/2 minutes. Add the mushrooms, garlic, chile, and ginger, stir-fry for 1 minute more. Add the soy sauce, sesame oil and rice and stir-fry for 2 to 3 minutes. Add the meat, peas, and reserved egg, cook, stirring until heated through, about 2 to 3 minutes. Serve immediately.

Provided by Clarissa Wei

Categories     Thanksgiving     Dinner     turkey     Green Onion/Scallion     Ginger     Anise     Shallot     Garlic     Sake     Soy Sauce     Rice     Peanut Free     Tree Nut Free

Yield 6-8 servings

Number Of Ingredients 17

Turkey:
1 (4-lb.) skin-on, bone-in turkey breast or 3 lb. shredded leftover cooked turkey
1 Tbsp. plus 1½ tsp. kosher salt (optional)
5 scallions, trimmed, halved (optional)
1 (2") piece ginger, peeled, sliced ¼" thick (optional)
8 whole star anise (optional)
¼ cup turkey stock or low-sodium chicken broth (optional)
Sauce:
½ cup high-quality lard, turkey fat, duck fat, or goose fat
16 shallots (about 12 oz.), shaved on a mandoline or very thinly sliced
1 head of garlic, finely chopped
¼ cup michiu (Taiwanese rice wine) or sake
¼ cup light soy sauce
¼ cup sugar
2 tsp. freshly ground white pepper, plus more
3 cups low-sodium chicken broth (optional)
Cooked white rice (for serving)

Steps:

  • Turkey:
  • If using a raw turkey breast, sprinkle turkey all over with salt; place on a wire rack set inside a rimmed baking sheet and chill, uncovered, at least 6 hours and up to 1 day. (This will result in tender, flavorful meat.)
  • Place turkey, scallions, ginger, and star anise in a stockpot. Pour in water to cover turkey by 1". Bring to a boil, then reduce heat and simmer, skimming foam from surface as needed, until an instant-read thermometer inserted into thickest part of breast registers 150°F, about 75 minutes. Transfer turkey to a cutting board and let sit until cool enough to handle (internal temperature should rise to 165°F while the turkey cools).
  • Strain stock through a fine-mesh sieve into a large heatproof bowl; discard solids. Pour 3 cups stock into a large heatproof measuring glass and set aside for sauce; reserve remaining stock for another use.
  • Shred turkey with a fork or your hands, removing and discarding skin (or shred along with meat if you prefer).
  • If starting with leftover turkey: Preheat oven to 350°F. Spread turkey in an even layer on a rimmed baking sheet, drizzle stock over, and cover tightly with foil. Cook until warmed through, about 15 minutes.
  • Sauce:
  • Heat lard in a medium saucepan over medium-low. Add shallots (it will not look like enough fat at first) and cook, stirring often, until softened into a single layer, then continue to cook, stirring occasionally, until golden brown, 20-25 minutes total. (Shallots will crisp as they cool.)
  • Drain shallots in a fine-mesh sieve set over a heatproof bowl. Transfer shallots to paper towels to drain; set aside. (You don't need to salt them.) Heat shallot fat in a medium saucepan over medium. Add garlic and cook, stirring often, until fragrant and just starting to color, about 3 minutes. Add michiu, soy sauce, sugar, 2 tsp. white pepper, and reserved 3 cups stock (if you are using leftover turkey, use chicken broth instead). Bring to a boil, then reduce heat and simmer, stirring occasionally, until sauce is reduced by half and glossy, about 25 minutes. Taste and add up to 2½ tsp. more white pepper if desired.
  • To serve, divide rice among shallow bowls and pile shredded turkey over. Spoon 2-3 Tbsp. sauce over each bowl and top with reserved fried shallots.

Tips:

  • To make the perfect fried rice, use day-old rice. Freshly cooked rice will be too moist and sticky.
  • Use a large wok or skillet to cook the rice. This will help to prevent the rice from clumping together.
  • Heat the wok or skillet over high heat until it is very hot. This will help to create a crispy texture on the rice.
  • Add the rice to the wok or skillet and spread it out evenly. Do not stir the rice for the first few minutes of cooking.
  • Once the rice has started to brown on the bottom, stir it gently. Continue to stir the rice until it is heated through.
  • Add the vegetables, protein, and sauce to the rice and stir to combine. Cook until the vegetables are tender and the protein is cooked through.
  • Serve the fried rice immediately.
