Curry Fried Rice Recipes

YELLOW CURRY FRIED RICE

Steps:

• Heat oil in a large skillet or wok over medium-high heat. Add zucchini, carrot, onion, celery, bell pepper, and jalapeno pepper. Stir in almonds and saute until zucchini is slightly soft, about 5 minutes.
• Add 1 tablespoon soy sauce and saute for a few seconds. Add cooked rice, garlic, remaining soy sauce, ginger, curry powder, basil, turmeric, black pepper, coriander, crushed red pepper, and salt. Saute until rice is heated through and takes on a nice toasty texture, about 5 minutes.
• Remove from the heat and stir in butter until combined. Cover and let sit for about 3 minutes before serving.

FRIED RICE WITH TOFU

Steps:

• Combine tofu and 2 tablespoons soy sauce in a bowl and marinate while you prepare the rest of the ingredients.
• Heat oil in a skillet over medium heat. Add onions and carrot; cook until lightly browned, about 5 minutes. Add tofu and marinade and cook for 2 to 3 minutes, stirring occasionally. Stir in rice and cook for 3 minutes while stirring.
• Move all ingredients to one half of the skillet and crack eggs into the empty half. Cook for 2 minutes until eggs start to set. Mix eggs and the rest of the ingredients until well combined. Season with remaining soy sauce and sugar; mix well.
• Stir tomato into the skillet; cook and mix for 1 minute. Season with salt, white pepper, and more soy sauce if desired.

EASY CURRY FRIED RICE

Steps:

• Heat oil in a large skillet or wok over moderate heat.
• Add the garlic and onions, and simmer until fragrant, approx. 3-5 minutes. Stir occasionally to keep garlic from browning.
• Add the celery, carrots, and mushrooms. Simmer for approx. 5 minutes or until veggies are tender.
• Add the curry powder, plus a pinch of kosher salt and ground black pepper. Stir to combine evenly throughout the vegetables.
• Sweep the vegetables to the side of the pan; add a bit more oil if needed. Add the beaten eggs to the center of the pan and allow to cook briefly, dragging your spatula through the cooking egg to create ribbon-like chunks off egg - same way you'd treat an egg when making them scrambled. Once cooked, stir in the vegetables and break up the egg to distribute it throughout the vegetables.
• Add the rice to the skillet in batches, stirring to coat. Add the tamari or soy sauce and mix well.
• Finally, add the scallions, frozen peas, and frozen corn (the frozen peas and corn will thaw very quickly once they're tossed in with the hot food).
• Bring the heat to medium-low and press the rice down into the pan, flattening it with your spatula. Let the rice sit like this, undisturbed, for 2-3 minutes. After that time is up, give it a stir, scraping crispy toasted bits from the bottom of the pan. Repeat this process 3-5 times, until you get the amount of crispiness in your rice you desire. Season with salt and pepper, to taste, if needed.
• Remove skillet from heat, garnish with freshly chopped parsley (optional), and serve.

VEGETARIAN THAI CURRY FRIED RICE

Steps:

• Rinse rice a few times under cold running water until water runs clear.
• Bring rice, water, and coconut water to a boil in a saucepan. Reduce heat to medium-low, cover, and simmer until rice is tender and water has been absorbed, 20 to 25 minutes.
• Heat oil in a wok or large cast iron skillet over medium heat. Add shallot and cook until softened, about 3 minutes. Add garlic and cook until fragrant, about 30 seconds. Add red bell pepper, ginger, and lemongrass. Allow to cook for 3 to 5 minutes. Add curry paste and mix until well combined. Add cooked rice and mix well. Move rice mixture to one side of the wok and crack eggs into the wok. Cook and stir eggs until set and scrambled, about 3 minutes. Mix scrambled egg with rice mixture. Add frozen vegetables and mix well. Stir in coconut milk.
• Remove from heat and sprinkle with Thai basil.
