Thai Fried Rice
Thai fried rice is an easy meal that delivers restaurant-quality flavors!
Ingredients
- 2 egg
- 2 tablespoons vegetable oil divided
- 1 onion minced, small
- 1 cup chicken breast cubed, boneless skinless, 140g
- ½ cup red bell pepper diced, 60g
- ½ cup carrot diced, 64g
- 1 teaspoon garlic
- ½ teaspoon ginger
- 1 cup sweet peas 80g
- 3 tablespoons cashew nuts
- 2 cups jasmine rice cooled, 364g, cooked
- 2 tablespoons soy sauce
- 1 tablespoon oyster sauce
- sesame seed for garnish
- green onion for garnish
Instructions
- Whisk eggs together in a small bowl.
- Heat a large skillet or wok with ½ tablespoon oil. Scramble the eggs, then remove from the pan and set aside.
- Add the rest of the oil and sauté onion, chicken, bell pepper, carrot, garlic, and ginger until tender.
- Add peas, cashew nuts, rice, soy sauce, oyster sauce, and scrambled eggs. Fry on high heat while stirring for one minute.
- Remove and garnish with sesame seeds and green onions.
Notes
- Dice the onion, bell pepper, and carrots into small, uniform pieces so they are evenly distributed.
- Make sure the chicken is cubed in pieces that are the same size so it will cook at the same rate.
- Use a meat thermometer to ensure the internal temperature of the chicken has reached at least 165 degrees F / 74 degrees C before serving.
- Use leftover rice if you have it. Day-old cooked rice is a bit drier and won't go mushy when you fry it.
- For an authentic Thai fried rice street food experience, serve with a fresh lime wedge on the side.
- Storage - keep leftovers in an airtight container inside the fridge for up to 5 days.
- There are 4 WW Blue Plan SmartPoints in one serving of this.
