Fabulous Friday Flavour: Tumeric Fried Rice with Chicken Nibblets
There is absolutely nothing not to like about Fried Rice. It’s tasty, it’s yummy, it’s filling and oh-so-versatile!
Got left-over steamed rice you don’t want to throw away? Fried Rice. Got left-over chicken/beef that you don’t want to keep for another day? Fried Rice. Got some vegetables in the fridge that won’t last for the week? Fried.Bloody.Rice!
And I’m saying that with a term of endearment because it’s always one of my go-to dishes when I run out of ideas or time to cook or on slow days left with some left-overs that needed a make-over. Of course, you can always make it fresh too and not wait for left-overs. You can’t quite screw up a fried rice in my opinion.
So here’s another of Grubbs ‘n Critters creation of Fried Rice using tumeric:
- 2-3 cups of rice, boiled (make sure it is not too soggy)
- 1 big red onions, chopped
- 1 clove garlic, roughly cut
- 3-4 green chillies (optional)
- 2 potatoes, cubed small
- 5-8 strings of long green beans, cut
- 1/4 teaspoon tumeric powder
- 2 eggs
- 2 tbsp chives
- 1 tbsn parsely
- Salt & pepper
- 2 tbsp olive oil
- Optional: left-over cooked meat or fresh meat of your choice
- Boil rice and set aside
- Blend-up onion, garlic, green chillies
- Peel and cut potatoes into small cubes. Put it in the microwave for 5-6 minutes (I do this to save time to soften the potatoes as they take a long time to cook). Set aside
- Heat up oil in a wok. When it is hot enough, add in the blended ingredients and fry for 4-5 minutes
- Add in tumeric and mix well. This will make the paste yellow.
- If you are using fresh meat, add them in. Otherwise, add in the potatoes and long beans. Mix well till potatoes are tender
- Add cooked meat if you are using cooked meat. Crack the eggs into the wok and let it sit for 5-10 seconds.
- Add in rice then stir it all up and mix well.
- Add in parsely, chives, salt and pepper to taste
- Fry for about 5-10 minutes and turn off the fire.
Top the fried rice with Fried Chicken Nibblets (you can buy this off the frozen section or make it yourself. Recipe here). Serve!
Lordy this looks so good! Do you post recipes every Friday!?
Indeed, Danny! And so simple to make too. 😀 Yes, I post a recipe every Friday for my Fabulous Friday Flavour feature based on what I attempted for the week…and hoping I won’t run out of ideas! :p Do look out for it! 🙂
