Servings
4 Servings
Ingredients
- ¼ cup good quality soy sauce
- 1 tablespoon grated ginger or 2 teaspoons dried
- 1 teaspoon minced chili pepper optional
- 1 tablespoon rice vinegar
- 1 tablespoon toasted sesame oil
- 2 tablespoon toasted sesame oil
- 3 scallions sliced
- 4 garlic cloves minced
- 6 cups mixed vegetables peas, green beans, red peppers, shiitake mushrooms, broccoli, shelled edamame, thinly sliced carrots
- 3 cups cooked brown rice that has cooled and been refrigerated overnight preferably uncovered to dry out
- 2 cups cooked shredded chicken beef or cubes of salmon
- 2 eggs whisked
- Garnishes: sesame seeds sliced scallions, Asian hot sauce
Instructions
- Whisk together soy, ginger, chilies, vinegar and sesame oil. Set aside. (this makes a great Asian vinaigrette for salads, grilled meats and poultry)
- Heat a large wok or heavy duty saute pan over high heat. Once hot, add enough oil to coat the bottom of the pan.
- Stir scallions, garlic and vegetables in batches so they are crisp, but a bit charred and caramelized. Be sure to season with salt and pepper. (stir fry in batches as too many vegetables at a time will steam and end up soggy. Transfer cooked vegetables to a bowl.
- Stir fry rice in batches being sure to season with salt and pepper.
- Stir fry cooked chicken and eggs just until eggs are softly scrambled. Add vegetables and rice back to the pan. Stir together. Pour over sauce and stir to combine.
- Garnish as desired.
