This is a fried rice recipe I came up with over time. I usually cook from scratch, just adding as I go along. But I've tried to approximate the ingredients for this the best I could. The rice is best when cooked the day or hours before and kept refrigerated for at least a few hours. I've seperated everything out in easy steps, but as you're comfortable & able to multi task feel free to chop & cook multiple things at once! Hope you enjoy! Ingredients:
1 large chicken breast |
1 cup cooked jasmine rice |
1 egg |
1 whole onion |
3 green onions |
1/2 cup water chestnut (optional) |
1/2 cup baby carrots |
1/2 cup snow peas |
2 -3 garlic cloves |
1 tablespoon ginger |
1/4 cup soy sauce |
4 tablespoons olive oil |
1 teaspoon whole cumin seed |
5 dashes seasoning (i use garam masala, lawry's seasoning salt, garlic salt, & garlic pepper, but use whatever you like) |
Directions:
1. Cut up chicken into small pieces – whatever size you like & set aside.
2. On separate cutting board chop up onions, green onions, & ginger. Mince garlic. Slice water chestnuts if they aren’t already, & slice carrots into long strips.
3. Ready to cook! Put 1 pan on medium (about 5) heat with about 2 tbsp olive oil in each.
4. In the pan you’ll cook the chicken, after pan is warm, toast Cumin seeds for a minute or two, until fragrant & beginning to brown.
5. Add chicken & season chicken with seasonings, cook until white on bottom (bout 3 or 4 minutes). Then flip all pieces & season cooked side (cook about 3 or 4 more minutes until done. Set chicken aside.
6. Heat second pan with 2 tbsp oil to medium heat. As heats up, add cooked rice.
7. After a few minutes, spread rice to outside of pan, leaving center of pan open.
8. Beat egg in a bowl & pour in middle of pan. Scramble egg & then mix with rice.
9. Begin to add ONLY 1/2 of the garlic, onion, green onion, ginger, carrots, snow peas & water chestnuts to the rice/egg (SAVE OTHER HALF OF VEGGIES & 1/2 GREEN ONIONS FOR GARNISH). Let cook for a few minutes.
10. Add remaining veggies, except green onions & continue to stir fry, cook for a few more minutes.
