Thai Fried Rice
Makes 4 servings
½ pound boneless, skinless chicken breast, cut into small cubes
3 cups cooked brown jasmine rice
½ large onion, chopped
3 cloves garlic, minced
2 scallions, chopped
2 tomatoes, sliced
3 Thai chili peppers, sliced (optional)
3 egg whites
1 egg
4 tsp vegetable oil, divided
4 tsp soy sauce (or more to taste)
2 tsp fish sauce
Salt and pepper
1 cucumber, sliced (optional)
- Prepare rice ahead of time according to package directions. It's best if made slightly on the dry side.
- Heat a wok on high flame. Meanwhile, season chicken with salt and pepper. When the wok is very hot, add 2 tsp oil. When the oil is hot, add the chicken and cook on high for a few minutes, tossing so that it browns all over. Remove chicken from wok and set aside.
- Whisk together egg and egg whites, and add to wok. Season with salt and scramble for 1 to 2 minutes; set aside.
- Add the remaining 2 tsp of oil to the wok, and then add onion, scallions, and garlic. Sauté for 1 minute and then add chili peppers (if using), tomatoes, and rice. Top with soy sauce and fish sauce, and stir to mix all the ingredients. Cook for a few more minutes, stirring, before adding egg and chicken back to wok. Adjust soy sauce if needed and stir well for another 30 seconds. Serve with sliced cucumbers.
