CRISPY FRIED RICE WITH BACON AND CABBAGE



Crispy Fried Rice With Bacon and Cabbage image

This easy, hearty weeknight meal gets a lot of its brawny richness from just a small amount of bacon. The soft, wilted cabbage lends sweetness, while the kimchi (a nod toward bokkeumbap) zips things up. The secret to getting a crackling, crunchy texture is letting the rice sit in the hot oil without touching it until it browns, but using leftover rice also helps. (As the rice dries out, it crisps more easily.) If you're starting from scratch, just cook 2 cups of dry rice to yield the 6 cups of cooked rice called for here. Then spread the rice out on a baking sheet and let it cool and dehydrate a bit before frying. Be sure to have everything ready and near the stove when before you start. The cooking goes fast, and there won't be any time to prepare ingredients once you get going.

Time 25m

Yield 6 servings

Number Of Ingredients 13

5 tablespoons neutral oil, such as grapeseed or sunflower, plus more as needed
3 slices thick-cut bacon, in 1/2-inch pieces (about 3 ounces)
1 small bunch scallions, whites and greens separated, sliced
4 cups shredded cabbage (from about 1/2 small head)
Salt
4 garlic cloves, minced
6 cups cooked rice, white or brown, preferably day-old
2 1/2 tablespoons fish sauce, plus more as needed
1/2 tablespoon soy sauce, plus more as needed
1/2 cup kimchi, drained and chopped, plus more for serving if you like
1/2 cup green peas (thawed, if frozen)
4 fried eggs, for serving (optional)
Toasted sesame oil, for drizzling (optional)

Steps:

  • In a large nonstick skillet or wok over medium-high, heat 2 tablespoons oil until almost smoking. Stir in bacon, and cook, stirring constantly, until bacon is golden, about 2 minutes. Transfer to a heatproof bowl, leaving as much oil in the skillet as you can.
  • Add scallion whites to the pan. Cook until soft, stirring frequently, 1 to 2 minutes. If the pan looks dry, drizzle in a little more oil, then stir in cabbage and a pinch of salt. Cook, continuing to stir frequently, until cabbage is soft, 2 to 4 minutes. Stir in garlic, and cook until fragrant, another 1 to 2 minutes. Transfer to the bowl with the bacon.
  • Add remaining 3 tablespoons oil to skillet and raise heat to high. Add rice, and a large pinch of salt, then toss thoroughly to coat with oil. Spread out rice in an even layer along the bottom (and sides if in a wok), and drizzle fish sauce and soy sauce over. Let rice sit until sizzling stops and it starts to crackle and crisp, 1 to 4 minutes. Toss, taste, and add more fish sauce or soy sauce if necessary.
  • Fold in bacon mixture, kimchi and peas, then transfer to plates. Top with scallion greens, more kimchi to taste, and fried eggs, if using. Drizzle everything with sesame oil and soy sauce, if you like, and serve immediately.

CURRIED RICE, BEANS AND VEGETABLE PILAF



Curried Rice, Beans and Vegetable Pilaf image

Categories     Blender     Bean     Herb     Rice     Vegetable     Side     Low Fat     Vegetarian     Currant     Sweet Potato/Yam     Collard Greens     Bon Appétit     Wheat/Gluten-Free     Peanut Free     Tree Nut Free     Soy Free

Yield Serves 4 to 6

Number Of Ingredients 12

1/3 cup Major Grey's mango chutney
2 1/2 cups canned unsalted chicken broth or water
1 tablespoon olive oil
1 red bell pepper, diced
2 tablespoons chopped garlic
1 cup long-grain white rice
1 tablespoon curry powder
1 15-ounce can low-salt kidney beans, rinsed, drained
1 small orange-fleshed sweet potato (yam), peeled, cut into 1/2-inch pieces
1 10-ounce package frozen chopped collard greens, thawed, squeezed dry
1/2 cup dried currants
Plain nonfat yogurt (optional)

Steps:

  • Place chutney in blender. Add broth gradually and puree. Set aside.
  • Heat oil in heavy large saucepan over medium heat. Add bell pepper and garlic and sauté 3 minutes. Add rice and curry powder and stir 1 minute. Add beans, potato, greens and currants and stir to blend. Add broth mixture. Bring to boil. Reduce heat to low, cover and simmer until rice and vegetables are tender and liquids are absorbed, about 25 minutes. Turn off heat and let stand covered 10 minutes.
  • Mound pilaf in large bowl. Serve, passing yogurt separately, if desired.

Tips:

  • Choose the right type of rice. For this recipe, a medium-grain rice like basmati or jasmine rice works best. These rices have a slightly sticky texture that helps the pilaf stay together.
  • Rinse the rice before cooking. This helps to remove the starch from the rice, which prevents it from becoming gummy.
  • Use a good quality curry powder. The curry powder is the key flavoring ingredient in this dish, so it's important to use a good quality one. Look for a curry powder that is made with a variety of spices, including cumin, coriander, turmeric, and fenugreek.
  • Don't crowd the pan when cooking the rice. If you crowd the pan, the rice will not cook evenly. Make sure there is enough space between the grains of rice so that they can cook evenly.
  • Cook the rice until it is tender but still has a slight bite to it. Overcooked rice will be mushy and unpleasant to eat.
  • Serve the pilaf immediately. Pilaf is best served immediately after it is cooked. If you need to store it, let it cool completely and then store it in an airtight container in the refrigerator for up to 3 days.

Conclusion:

Curried rice, bacon, and cabbage pilaf is a delicious and easy-to-make dish that is perfect for a weeknight meal. It is also a great way to use up leftover rice. The curry powder, bacon, and cabbage give the pilaf a unique and flavorful taste that is sure to please everyone at the table.
