STIR-FRIED BROWN RICE WITH POBLANO CHILES AND EDAMAME



Stir-Fried Brown Rice With Poblano Chiles and Edamame image

The stir-fry guru Grace Young suggests brown rice for vegetarian stir-fries, and she's right: the rich, nutty flavor and chewy texture make for a very satisfying meal. The trick to successful fried rice, whether you use brown or white rice, is to cook the rice a day ahead and refrigerate. Cold rice will not clump together.

Categories     dinner, weekday, main course

Time 20m

Yield Serves four

Number Of Ingredients 12

2 fresh poblano chiles
2 tablespoons plus 1 teaspoon peanut or canola oil
4 large eggs, beaten
Salt to taste
2 tablespoons minced ginger
1 tablespoon minced garlic
1/2 cup chopped scallions
4 cups cooked brown rice (2 cups uncooked)
1 cup fresh or thawed frozen edamame
1/2 cup chopped cilantro
1 to 2 tablespoons soy sauce (to taste)
1/4 teaspoon ground white pepper

Steps:

  • Roast the poblano chiles over an open flame or under a broiler, turning often until uniformly charred. Place in a bowl, cover tightly and allow to cool. Remove the charred skins, rinse briefly if necessary and pat dry. Cut in half, remove seeds and membranes, and cut into 2-inch strips. Set aside near your wok. It's best to wear plastic gloves when handling the chiles.
  • Beat two of the eggs in a bowl, and season to taste with salt. Heat a 14-inch flat-bottomed wok over high heat until a drop of water evaporates from the surface in a second or two. Add 2 teaspoons of the oil to the sides of the pan and tilt the pan to distrbute. Making sure that the bottom of the wok is covered with oil, carefully pour in the eggs. Cook for about 30 seconds or until the eggs set, tilting the pan so that the eggs spread out into a thin pancake. Once the pancake is set and beginning to color, flip it over with a metal spatula and allow to cook for five seconds. Remove to a cutting board, and roll up the pancake. Cut into thin strips, and set aside. Repeat with the other 2 eggs.
  • Add the remaining oil to the wok, and then the ginger, garlic and scallions. Stir-fry 10 seconds. Add the rice, roasted poblano strips and edamame. Stir-fry for two minutes, scooping up and breaking up the rice, then pressing it into the pan and scooping it up again. Add the egg strips, cilantro, soy sauce, salt to taste and pepper. Stir-fry another 30 seconds to combine. Remove from the heat and serve.

Time 1h20m

Yield 6

Number Of Ingredients 16

2 cups white rice
4 cups water
⅔ cup soy sauce
¼ cup brown sugar
1 tablespoon cornstarch
1 tablespoon minced fresh ginger
1 tablespoon minced garlic
¼ teaspoon red pepper flakes

Tips:

  • Prep your ingredients in advance: Cut the chicken, vegetables, and edamame before you start cooking, so everything is ready to go when you need it.
  • Use a large skillet or wok: This will help prevent the ingredients from overcrowding and becoming soggy.
  • Cook the chicken in batches if necessary: If your skillet or wok is not large enough to accommodate all of the chicken at once, cook it in batches to prevent overcrowding.
  • Stir-fry the vegetables over high heat: This will help them retain their crispness and flavor.
  • Add the edamame and walnuts towards the end of cooking: This will prevent them from becoming overcooked.
  • Season to taste: Add soy sauce, oyster sauce, and sesame oil to taste, until the stir-fry is flavorful and well-seasoned.
  • Serve hot: Stir-fry is best served hot, so make sure to serve it immediately after cooking.

This brown rice and chicken stir-fry with edamame and walnuts is a delicious and healthy meal that's perfect for a quick and easy weeknight dinner.
