Ingredients
- 2 tablespoons vegetable oil
- 1/2 lb (225 g) ground chicken or ground turkey
- 2 egg beaten with a pinch of salt
- 3 cups rice overnight rice works best, separated by hand (*Footnote, cooked
- 1 tablespoon soy sauce light
- 1 teaspoon curry powder (I prefer mild Madras curry powder)
- 1 1/2 cups pineapple chopped, fresh
- 1/2 red bell pepper , diced
- 1 cup mixed vegetables snow peas, carrots, and/or corn, frozen
- 3 green onions , chopped
- 1/2 teaspoon salt , or to taste
- 1/3 cup cashew roasted
- 1 lime , cut into wedges
- cilantro for garnish (Optional, chopped leaves
Instructions
- Heat 1/2 tablespoon oil in a large nonstick skillet (or a wok, or a carbon steel skillet) until hot. Add the eggs. Let cook without touching, until the bottom is set. Stir and chop with your spatula to separate the eggs into small bits. Once the egg is just cooked (it’s OK if some parts are still a bit runny), transfer it to a plate and set aside.
- Add the remaining 1 1/2 tablespoon of oil and the ground chicken. Stir and chop with your spatula to separate it into small bits. Cook until the chicken turns mostly white.
- Add the rice. Stir and chop to further separate it into single grains. Cook until the rice is heated up, 2 to 3 minutes. If you’re using a wok or a carbon steel skillet, the rice might stick to the pan. You can add a bit more oil and use your spatula to release the rice.
- Add the soy sauce and curry powder. Stir to mix well.
- Add the pineapple, bell pepper, frozen veggies, green onions, and sprinkle with salt. Stir and cook for 1 minute.
- Add back the scrambled eggs and cashews and toss again. Carefully taste the rice. Sprinkle more salt and stir to mix well, if needed. Transfer everything to a big plate.
- Serve hot as a main dish or side dish.
