Fried Chicken Fried Rice With Pickled Scallions Ham Recipe 435

KIELBASA FRIED RICE RECIPE - (4.2/5)

Steps:

• In a nonstick wok or large skillet, heat 1 tablespoon of the vegetable oil. Add the kielbasa and stir-fry over high heat until golden brown, about 3 minutes. Transfer to a plate. Add the remaining 1 tablespoon of oil to the wok along with the onion, carrots and white scallions and cook until the vegetables are softened, about 5 minutes. Add the garlic and ginger, and cook until fragrant, about 1 minute. Add the rice and all but 1 tablespoon of the scallion greens, and stir-fry until the rice is heated through and beginning to brown, about 3 minutes. Push the fried rice to the side of the pan to create a well. Pour the eggs into the well and cook, stirring gently, until nearly set. Return the kielbasa to the skillet and toss with the eggs and fried rice, cooking for 1 minute. Remove the pan from the heat and stir in the soy sauce. Transfer the fried rice to bowls, garnish with the remaining 1 tablespoon of scallion greens and serve.

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.

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.
