Ingredients
2 cups cooked long-grain rice (chilled)3 tbsp peanut oil (less if you want, but the rice will get sticky)1 cup frozen edamame (soy beans)1 cup frozen broccoli1 cup frozen peas1 cup frozen fava beans (broad beans)1 medium onion, sliced2 medium carrots, julienned2 closves garlic, minced0.5 skinless, boneless chicken breast, semi-frozen2 tsp dark soy sauce (or to taste)1 tsp cayenne (optional)1 tsp red pepper flakes (optional)1 tsp ground cumin1 tsp ground coriander0.5 tsp turmeric powderSea salt to taste
- Heat the oil in a wok.
- When the oil is hot, toss in all the frozen veggies (watch out, they'll splatter, use a splatter screen if you have one!), cook for 2 to 3 minutes, until they look a little softer. If you're using sea-salt, add it now, so it gets some liquid to help it dissolve.
- Add the thinly sliced semi-frozen chicken breast (it slices very easily if slightly frozen!) and carrots. Saute, stirring occasionally, for 2 to 3 minutes until the chicken is no longer pink.
- Add onions and garlic. Cook for 1 minute.
- Reduce heat to medium-high.
- Add chilled rice, saute for 3 minutes, stirring occasionally, breaking up any chunks of cold rice.
- Add soy sauce and spices. Stir well to coat food evenly.
- Serve hot.
This recipe needs no side dishes, unless you'd like to add in some more protein!
Makes 6 generous servings.
