STIR-FRIED BROWN RICE WITH RED CHARD AND CARROTS



Stir-Fried Brown Rice With Red Chard and Carrots image

A lush bunch of red Swiss chard that I got at the farmers' market was the inspiration for this stir-fry. The stems, which stay nice and crunchy, are an important ingredient in the stir-fry, so look for chard with nice wide ribs.

Time 15m

Yield 4 servings

Number Of Ingredients 12

1 generous bunch of red chard (1 to 1 1/4 pounds), stemmed and washed well in 2 changes of water (retain the stems)
2 to 3 teaspoons minced garlic (to taste)
2 to 3 teaspoons minced fresh ginger (to taste)
2 eggs
Salt to taste
2 teaspoons plus 2 tablespoons peanut, canola, rice bran or grape seed oil
1 medium carrot, cut in 2-inch julienne
1 bunch scallions, sliced, dark green parts separated
4 cups cooked brown rice, either chilled or at room temperature
1 to 2 tablespoons soy sauce (to taste)
1/4 teaspoon ground pepper
1/2 cup chopped cilantro

Steps:

  • Dice the thick part of the red chard stems (discard the stringier, tapering part of the stems); you should have 1 to 1 1/2 cups diced stems. Stack leaves and cut in slivers, or coarsely chop. You should have about 8 cups (the leaves will lose a lot of volume when they wilt in the stir-fry).
  • Combine garlic and ginger in a small bowl or ramekin and place near your wok. Beat eggs in a bowl and season with a pinch of salt. Prepare the other ingredients and place in separate bowls within arm's reach of your wok.
  • Heat a 14-inch flat-bottomed wok or a 12-inch skillet over high heat until a drop of water evaporates within a second or two when added to the pan. Swirl in 2 teaspoons of oil by adding it to the sides of the wok and swirling the wok. Make sure that the bottom of the wok or pan is coated with oil and add eggs, swirling the wok or pan so that the eggs form a thin pancake. Cook 30 - 60 seconds, until set. Using a spatula, turn pancake over and cook for 5 to 10 more seconds, until thoroughly set, then transfer to a plate or cutting board and quickly cut into strips, using the edge of your spatula or a knife.
  • Swirl in remaining oil and add garlic and ginger. Stir-fry no more than 10 seconds and add chard stems and carrots. Stir-fry for 2 minutes, until crisp-tender, and add light part of the scallions and chard leaves. Stir-fry until leaves wilt, 1 to 2 minutes, and add rice. Stir-fry, scooping up the rice with your spatula then pressing it into the hot wok or pan and scooping it up again, for about 2 minutes. Add soy sauce, dark green part of the scallions, eggs and cilantro, stir-fry for about 30 seconds, remove from heat and serve.

This is particularly beautiful if you can find rainbow chard, those multicolored bunches with red, white and yellow stems. Slice the chard crosswise in thin strips. If the pieces are too thick, they'll be tough.

BROWN FRIED RICE - FIVE TREASURE



Brown Fried Rice - Five Treasure image

The sky is the limit when it comes to preparing fried rice. With this recipe we use brown rice and a little canola oil to make it healthier and 5 different types of vegetables. It's important the brown rice is well chilled so the starch hardens and makes it fry-able. If you use fresh rice you will have a gummy mess. Using ginger, scallions and garlic helps boost the flavour or you could even add some sesame oil or chile peppers. You could substitute the canola for sesame oil to add more flavour. Change any of the vegetables to asparagus; zucchini, peas, mushrooms, bok choy, bean spouts, jicama and even fruit such as mandarin oranges or pineapple.. To make it more of a meal I would add protein like chicken, shrimp, ham or even tofu...but then it wouldn't be Five Treasure now. Cooking time includes cooking the rice and chilling it. To speed the process up at dinner time, prepare the rice and chopped veggies the day before. This recipe came from Fine Cooking.

Time 2h50m

Yield 4 serving(s)

Number Of Ingredients 13

2 tablespoons canola oil
1 cup broccoli stem (peeled, finely diced approx 1 1/4 lb. broccoli)
3/4 cup diced carrot
3/4 cup diced red bell pepper
3/4 cup edamame (shelled and frozen)
3/4 cup corn kernel (fresh or frozen)
4 scallions, thinly sliced (both white and green parts)
2 tablespoons fresh ginger, grated
2 large garlic cloves, minced
4 cups cooked brown rice, chilled
3/4 cup diced Canadian bacon (4 oz)
2 large eggs, lightly beaten
1/4 cup low sodium soy sauce

Steps:

  • Heat all but 1 tsp of the oil in a large non-stick skillet or stir-fry pan over medium heat.
  • Add the broccoli stems, carrots and bell pepper and cook, stirring frequently, until the vegetables begin to soften, 3-5 minutes.
  • Add the edamame and corn and cook until the edamame is thawed, about 1 minute.
  • Add the scallion, ginger, and garlic and cook, stirring, until the raw garlic aroma subsides, about 1 minute.
  • Add the cold rice and bacon and cook, stirring until heated through 3- 5 minutes.
  • Make a 3 inch well in the center of the rice mixture.
  • Add the remaining 1 tsp of oil, then the eggs, and cook, stirring until the eggs are almost fully scrambled.
  • Stir the eggs into the rice mixture.
  • Stir in the soy sauce and serve.

Tips:

  • Use day-old brown rice: This will help the rice stay separate and not become mushy.
  • Chop the vegetables into small pieces: This will help them cook evenly.
  • Use a well-seasoned wok or large skillet: This will help prevent the rice from sticking.
  • Stir-fry the rice over high heat: This will help create a slightly crispy texture.
  • Add the vegetables and sauce towards the end of cooking: This will help prevent them from overcooking.
  • Serve the rice immediately: This is when it is at its best.

Conclusion:

This stir-fried brown rice with red chard and carrots is a quick and easy weeknight meal that is packed with flavor. The combination of the nutty brown rice, the sweet and savory vegetables, and the tangy sauce makes this dish a winner. Plus, it's a great way to use up leftover rice.
