SPICY FRIED RICE WITH CHICKEN, BEAN SPROUTS AND PEANUTS



Spicy Fried Rice With Chicken, Bean Sprouts and Peanuts image

This dish is a mash-up of fried rice and pad Thai; the chicken is an accent to the rest of the dish. Using more veggies and carbs, and less meat and dairy, is a hallmark of Mark Bittman's new _The Food Matters Cookbook_, which is the source of this recipe. Adapted from Caroline Russock's post at Serious Eats. http://bit.ly/gysmIT

Categories     One Dish Meal

Time 30m

Yield 4 serving(s)

Number Of Ingredients 16

3 tablespoons vegetable oil, divided
1/2 cup sliced scallion
1 carrot, chopped
3 cups bean sprouts
8 ounces boneless skinless chicken breasts or 8 ounces boneless skinless chicken thighs, cut into pieces of the same size
1 tablespoon minced garlic (about 6 medium cloves)
2 cups cooked long-grain brown rice, preferably chilled
1 egg
1/2 cup coconut milk
2 tablespoons nam pla (fish sauce)
salt
fresh ground black pepper
1/4 cup chopped peanuts
1/2 cup chopped fresh Thai basil or 1/2 cup regular basil
1 small green Thai chiles or 1 small bird's eye chile, seeded and sliced
lime wedge

Steps:

  • Put 1 tablespoon oil in a large skillet over high heat. When it shimmers and emits wisps of smoke, add the scallions, carrot, and bean sprouts. Saute, stirring occasionally, until the vegetables soften and begin to brown, 3 to 5 minutes. Lower the heat if it looks like it might burn. Transfer the vegetables to a bowl with a slotted spoon.
  • Add 1 tablespoon of oil to the pan, followed by the chicken pieces; cook, stirring occasionally, over high heat until the chicken is no longer pink, 3 to 5 minutes. Using a slotted spoon, add chicken to the bowl with the vegetables, leaving as much oil in the pan as possible.
  • Put the last tablespoon of oil in the skillet, followed by the garlic. When fragrant, about 15 seconds, add the rice a bit at a time, breaking up any clumps with your fingers and stirring it into the oil. When all the rice is added, make a well in the center and break the egg into it; scramble it a bit, then stir it thoroughly into the rice.
  • Return the chicken and vegetables to the pan and stir to combine well. Add the coconut milk and cook, stirring, until most of the liquid has boiled off, just a minute or so. Add the fish sauce, then taste and season with salt and pepper. Turn off the heat and stir in the peanuts, basil, and chiles. Serve with the lime wedges.

SPICY CHICKEN FRIED RICE WITH PEANUTS



Spicy Chicken Fried Rice With Peanuts image

From Cooking Light. It isn't too spicy as written, but you can always make adjustments by using less crushed red pepper to suit your tastes. If you want to shave time off the prep, use the boil-in-bag brown rice available at many stores.

Provided by CaliforniaJan

Categories     Brown Rice

Time 30m

Yield 1 3/4 cups, 5 serving(s)

Number Of Ingredients 14

1/4 cup less-sodium soy sauce
1 tablespoon dark brown sugar
1 teaspoon dark sesame oil
3/4 teaspoon crushed red pepper flakes
2 tablespoons canola oil
2 cups red bell peppers, diced (about 2)
1 cup onion, diced
1/4 cup green onion, thinly sliced and divided
2 tablespoons fresh ginger, peeled and minced
2 large garlic cloves, minced
5 cups brown rice, cooked and cold
2 cups chicken, cooked and diced (about 1 pound)
1 (8 ounce) can sliced water chestnuts, drained and chopped
1/3 cup dry-roasted unsalted peanuts

Steps:

  • Combine first 4 ingredients in a small bowl; stir well with a whisk.
  • Heat canola oil in a wok or large nonstick skillet over medium-high heat. Add bell peppers, diced onion, and 2 tablespoons green onions to pan; stir-fry 3 minutes or until tender. Add ginger and garlic; stir-fry 1 minute. Add rice, chicken, and water chestnuts; stir-fry for 5 minutes or until thoroughly heated, stirring gently. Add soy sauce mixture; cook 2 minutes more, tossing to coat. Sprinkle with remaining 2 tablespoons green onions and peanuts.
  • *Note: cooking time does not include time to cook rice or chicken.

Tips:

  • Use high-quality ingredients: The better the quality of your ingredients, the better your fried rice will be. Look for fresh, flavorful vegetables, high-quality chicken, and a good quality soy sauce.
  • Cook the rice ahead of time: This will help the rice to cool and firm up, making it easier to fry. You can cook the rice up to a day in advance.
  • Use a well-seasoned wok: A well-seasoned wok will help to prevent the rice from sticking and will give it a nice smoky flavor.
  • Heat the wok over high heat: This will help to create a nice sear on the rice and vegetables.
  • Add the ingredients in the correct order: The order in which you add the ingredients is important. Start with the aromatics (ginger, garlic, and onion), then add the chicken, vegetables, and finally the rice.
  • Stir-fry the rice until it is heated through: This will help to prevent the rice from becoming mushy.
  • Season the rice to taste: Add soy sauce, fish sauce, and/or oyster sauce to taste. You can also add a bit of heat with chili paste or Sriracha.
  • Garnish the rice with peanuts, green onions, and cilantro: This will add a nice pop of color and flavor to the dish.

Conclusion:

Spicy chicken fried rice is a quick, easy, and delicious meal that can be made with simple ingredients. By following these tips, you can make the best spicy chicken fried rice that will impress your family and friends.
