Twice Fried Rice
Makes 2 to 4 servings
INGREDIENTS
1 cup long grain rice 3/4 cup chicken stock 1 teaspoon salt
1 red or yellow bell pepper, 1 green bell pepper, seeded, cored and cut into small dice
1 cup sliced Napa cabbage 1/2 cup mushrooms, sliced
1/4 cup snow peas, strings removed 1 to 2 tablespoons peanut oil
1 egg, beaten
1/4 cup soy sauce
2 scallions, trimmed and cut into chiffonade
METHOD
1Place the rice in a saucepan and add the stock, water and salt. Bring the liquid to a boil, reduce the heat, cover and cook slowly for 15 to 18 minutes. It is important to cook the rice until dry. Turn the rice out onto a large platter or baking sheet and let it air dry for up to an hour. (Or place the rice on a baking sheet and dry it in the oven at 200 degrees F for 30 minutes, stirring two or three times with a fork.)
2Take a fork and thoroughly fluff the rice.
3Set the temperature control on your Wok to "Sear" and preheat for 5 minutes. Pour the oil in around the edges, and then stir fry all the vegetables for 30 seconds. Add the rice and continue to stir fry for another 30 seconds. Pour the egg in around the edges of the wok and quickly stir it into the rice and vegetables.
4Stir in the soy sauce.
5Prepare the scallion chiffonade immediately before serving. Slice the scallions very thinly on the bias.
