CHICKEN FRIED RICE

Steps:

• Add the canola oil and 1 tablespoon sesame oil to a large nonstick saute pan. Whisk the eggs in a small bowl and season with the salt and some pepper; set aside. Add the ginger, carrot and garlic to the pan and cook until the vegetables have softened slightly, about 2 minutes. Add the rice, peas and the white and light green parts of the scallion. Then, add the soy sauce and remaining 1 tablespoon sesame oil and toss to coat. Press the rice mixture gently into the pan and fry until it begins to crisp on the bottom, 3 to 4 minutes. Add the eggs to the pan and cook, stirring gently, until just set, about 1 minute. Stir in the chicken and cook until heated through, about 1 minute. Transfer to a serving platter and sprinkle with the reserved scallions.

FRIED RICE WITH HAM, EGG, AND SCALLIONS

Steps:

• 1. Heat a 14-inch flat-bottomed wok over high heat until a bead of water vaporizes within 1 to 2 seconds of contact. Swirl in 1 tablespoon of the oil, add the garlic and scallions, and stir-fry 10 seconds. Add the rice and the peas and stir-fry 2 to 3 minutes, breaking up the rice with a metal spatula.
• 2. Make a well in the rice, exposing the bottom of the wok. Add the remaining 1 tablespoon oil and the egg. Immediately stir-fry to incorporate the egg throughout the rice, 1 to 2 minutes or until the egg is almost cooked through. Add the ham, salt, and pepper and stir-fry 1 to 2 minutes until heated through.

FRIED-CHICKEN FRIED RICE WITH PICKLED SCALLIONS & HAM RECIPE - (4.3/5)

Steps:

• Make Quick-Pickled Scallions: Cut dark green tops of scallions off white and light green stems. Slice dark green tops into thin rings and set aside for later. Place stems in a plastic or stainless steel container or bowl. Bring vinegar, water, sugar, salt, peppercorns, coriander and fennel seeds to a boil in a small saucepan over medium-high heat. Pour boiling liquid over scallion stems and let sit for at least 1 hour at room temperature or cover and refrigerate for up to 2 weeks. Remove scallion stems from pickling liquid and thinly slice. Strain pickling liquid over a fine-mesh sieve. Reserve ½ cup pickling liquid and discard the remaining liquid or save it for another purpose. Heat 1 tablespoon oil in a large wok or skillet over medium-high heat. Once oil is hot and shimmery, add beaten egg to wok, stirring with a spatula for a few seconds, then spread egg evenly across bottom of wok. (If using a skillet, spread egg into a thin round, about 5 inches across.) Let cook, undisturbed, just until it is set, like an omelet, about 1 minute. Use a rubber spatula to loosen egg and slide it from wok and then slice it into small pieces. Wipe wok clean. Heat remaining oil over high heat. Once oil is very hot and shimmery, add ginger and garlic and cook, stirring, for about 10 seconds. Add fried chicken, ham and reserved sliced dark-green scallion. Cook, stirring, until fragrant, about 30 seconds. Add cooked rice, stirring to break up any clumps. Toss rice to coat with oil. Add peas, chopped egg and pickled scallion stems. Cook, stirring, until rice is hot, about 2 minutes. Add reserved ½ cup pickling liquid, soy sauce, mirin and cayenne. Toss to incorporate and remove from heat. Top with peanuts. Taste and season with salt or additional cayenne if necessary.

CHICKEN FRIED RICE

Steps:

• For the rice: Add the rice and water to a small saucepan over low heat; bring to a simmer with the lid on, 6-7 minutes. Cook an additional 8-10 minutes with the lid on to steam slowly; when rice is done, remove from heat and set aside.
• Blanch the vegetables: Bring a pot of water to a boil and add 3 big pinches of salt; fill a large bowl with ice water. Add the English peas to the simmering water for 10 seconds, then remove to the ice bath with a slotted spoon. Blanch the sugar snap peas in the same manner. The asparagus and green beans will each take about 3-4 minutes to blanch. Remove all of the vegetables from the ice water and set aside.
• Trim and discard the dark green part of the scallion and remove outermost layer of the remaining section. Peel the piece of ginger with a spoon and mince as finely as possible; set aside. Mince the onion and set aside. Mince the garlic and add to the ginger. Slice the scallion into thin rounds and add to the onion. Peel the carrot, slice into thin rounds, and set aside. Now cut the blanched vegetables so they are the same size. On a separate cutting board, dice the chicken into bite-sized pieces, removing any pieces of cartilage or bone; set aside.
• Place the wok over medium-high heat and add a splash of sesame oil to heat. Meanwhile, crack the eggs into a bowl and beat them. When the oil is hot, add the chicken and cook through, 3-4 minutes. Add the garlic and ginger to the chicken and cook 1 more minute, stirring constantly to prevent burning. Add the onion and scallion, followed by the carrot, and cook for 1-2 minutes. Add soy sauce and stir to marry the flavors; add the eggs, stirring so they can cook and break up into pieces. Then fold in the rest of the vegetables. Once the egg has finished cooking, taste and season with more soy sauce and sesame oil, and add the sesame seeds.
• Add the rice and stir well to combine. Serve on a large platter, finish with additional sesame seeds, and eat while hot.
