Yield 4 serving(s)

Number Of Ingredients 11

Ingredients

2 3/4 cups water
1 1/2 cups white rice (I used Uncle Ben's)
3 tablespoons vegetable oil or 3 tablespoons wok oil, 3 turns of the pan
2 eggs, beaten
2 cloves garlic, chopped
2 inches fresh ginger, minced or grated
1/2 cup shredded carrot
1 small red bell peppers or 1 small green bell pepper, diced
4 scallions, thinly sliced on an angle
1/2 cup frozen peas
1/3 cup tamari (dark aged soy sauce)

Steps:

Bring water to a boil.
Add rice, reduce heat, cover and cook over medium low heat until tender, 15 to 18 minutes.
Spread rice out on a cookie sheet to quick cool it.
(If you have leftover rice you can really speed this dish up).
Heat a wok, wok shaped skillet or large nonstick skillet over high heat.
Add oil to the pan.
Add egg to hot oil and break into small bits as it scrambles.
When eggs are scrambled, add garlic and ginger to the pan.
(If you happen to be out of ginger like I was once, you can add some terriyaki sauce).
Add carrots, pepper, scallions to the pan and quick stir-fry veggies 2 minutes.
Add rice to the pan and combine with veggies.
Fry rice with veggies 2 or 3 minutes.
Add peas and soy sauce to the rice and stir fry 1 minute more, then serve.

Time 25m

Yield 4 servings

Number Of Ingredients 9

Ingredients

3 cups water
2 tablespoons butter
1 teaspoon cumin seeds, 1/3 handful
1/4 cup golden raisins, 2 handfuls
2 tablespoons currants, 1 handful
1 teaspoon lemon or orange zest (from about 1/2 of the fruit)
1 1/2 cups enriched white rice
2 blades fresh chives, chopped
1 (3-ounce) bag sliced almonds, lightly toasted or 3 ounces smoked almonds

Steps:

Bring water to a boil in a covered saucepan. Add butter, cumin, raisins, currants, zest, and rice. Stir the rice and return to a rolling boil. Cover and reduce heat to low. Cook 20 minutes, stirring occasionally.
Remove from heat and add chives. Fluff rice with fork and transfer to a serving dish. Cover rice liberally with toasted sliced almonds or smoked almonds.

Tips:

Use day-old rice for the best texture. Freshly cooked rice will be too moist and sticky.
Chop all of your vegetables and ingredients before you start cooking. This will help the cooking process go smoothly.
Use a large wok or skillet to cook the rice. This will help to prevent the rice from sticking together.
Add the rice to the wok or skillet when the oil is hot. This will help to create a crispy texture.
Stir the rice constantly to prevent it from burning.
Add the vegetables and other ingredients to the rice once it is cooked through.
Season the rice with salt, pepper, and other spices to taste.
Serve the rice immediately.
