A definite favorite in the Mr and Mrs B Household. To the point it's almost a once a weeker! It took sometime to find the right consistency of the rice to cook, not over or under, and also to fried everything in the proper amount of butter and order....so feel free to change it as you like, but this pretty much works like the Japanese grills!
Serves 6 people: Or 2 with one hungry man and enough for leftover lunches!
You'll need:
3 Cups white or jasmine rice
6 Cups Water
2 Tablespoon Butter
2 Chicken Breast
2 Teaspoons Olive oil
1 Cup Chopped Yellow Onion
2 Tablespoons Soy Sauce (Gluten free if you please)
2 cups mixed veggies (we prefer the huge bags from Costco that are 5.00 that include green beans, corn, shelled edemame, peas, carrots, It's their organic blend)
2 Eggs
1 Tablespoons Butter2 Tablespoons Soy Sauce
Start boiling 6 cups of water and 1/2 tablespoon butter, bring to full boil and add rice. I let it continue to boil for 1 minute then turn to low heat and cover with lid for additional 14 minutes. After 14 minutes is up turn off heat and let simmer for 5 additional minutes. DO NOT TAKE OFF THE LID. After 5 minutes take off lid and let sit for additional 5 minutes.
During the rice process, fry up chicken and onion in butter until desired crispiness is achieved. Set aside in bowl. Fry up egg in pan with oil or butter after fried, add veggie mix with additional butter for approximately 3 minutes (frozen veggies), after rice process is complete add chicken into the veggie mix then cut in rice with additional butter. I usually cut in 1 tablespoon at a time give the rice time to mix. You must add in 1 cup of rice at a time letting it completely coat. Be careful because too much liquid at one time makes the rice soggy. It might take a time or two to get this process down. I use one cup of rice to 1/2 tablespoon butter then shake 3 shakes of soy sauce, mix well then add the next cup with 1/2 tablespoon and 3 shakes. I let Mr B. add additional soy sauce as he likes it instead of completely coating the rice in the pan. Add 1 tablespoon Garlic if desired before serving.
A few twist to consider. Shrimp instead of chicken. Just make sure you soak the shrimp in lemon juice with garlic powder before hand.
One can use flavored olive oils as substitute for frying up veggies and chicken along with adding a touch of ginger and garlic if desired. Then fry up the rice and mixtures with butter to add flavor.
