RECIPE FAIRY

INGREDIENTS

2 pounds of chicken breast, cubed into small pieces 1 cup of chopped carrot (either frozen or about 2 large fresh carrots) 1 large white or yellow onion, chopped A handful of scallions, finely sliced Oil (safflower or canola)

RECIPE FAIRY

INGREDIENTS

For the rice: 2 cups of white rice 3 cups of water Pinch of salt To finish the Benihana style fried rice: 4 eggs Salt and pepper as desired Toasted sesame seeds (optional)

RECIPE FAIRY

INGREDIENTS

For the garlic butter: 1 stick (1/2 cup) of unsalted butter 2 cloves of minced garlic 1 teaspoon of lemon juice 2 teaspoons of low-sodium soy sauce

1

Cook the rice (1 day before cooking the fried rice).

DIRECTIONS

2

Rinse the uncooked rice using a bowl or colander, until the water you are rinsing with no longer appears cloudy.

3

Add the rice, 3 cups of cold water and a pinch of salt to a large, lidded pot on the stove.

4

Bring the heat up high, and watch carefully, until the water begins to boil.

Be watchful of the soy sauce and salt; it’s easy to overdo them both. There should be just enough soy sauce to make the rice golden brown, not dark. Taste the cooked rice before you season.
