Time 20m

Yield 4 servings

Number Of Ingredients 13

2 tablespoons vegetable oil
1 large egg, beaten
Kosher salt
2 cups baby spinach
1/2 cup chopped broccoli florets
1/2 cup chopped red bell pepper
1/4 cup shredded carrots
1/4 cup thinly sliced snow peas
1 teaspoon minced garlic
1 teaspoon finely grated fresh ginger
1 teaspoon soy sauce
3 cups cold cooked long-grain white rice
1 teaspoon toasted sesame oil

Steps:

  • Heat a large nonstick skillet or wok over high heat and then swirl in 1 tablespoon of the oil. When the oil begins to smoke, add the egg and swirl the skillet to make a flat egg pancake that's only half set, about 10 seconds; scoop onto a plate.
  • Add the remaining tablespoon oil, then add the spinach, broccoli, bell pepper, carrots, snow peas, garlic, ginger, soy sauce and 1/4 teaspoon salt and stir-fry until crisp-tender, about 2 minutes.
  • Add the rice, stirring to break up any clumps, and spread it out in the skillet. Cook until heated through, about 3 minutes. Return the egg to the skillet and cook, stirring and breaking up the egg, to mix it in thoroughly, about 1 minute. Season with additional salt if needed. Stir in the sesame oil and serve.

VEGETABLE FRIED RICE

Amanda Cohen, the chef at Dirt Candy in Manhattan, loves how easy it is to make fried rice. "If you're a chef, the idea of cooking at home on your one night off is like some kind of terrible nightmare," she said. "Takeout becomes your best friend. but before long half your fridge is taken up by those little white cartons of rice." At home, she digs into those cartons to make fast batches of vegetable fried rice, and she combats the threat of blandness by stocking her freezer in advance with her Secret-Weapon Stir-Fry Sauce: small, dark green ice blocks of puréed garlic, ginger, cilantro, parsley and other ingredients, which she freezes in ice-cube trays (they can be slipped directly into the hot pan). She uses brussels sprouts, fennel, chard and mushrooms, but this dish is the definition of flexibility. "As long as you maintain the proportions, this recipe can take any vegetable you throw at it," she said. "Think of it as a chance to clean out your crisper drawer."

Time 15m

Yield 2 main course servings

Number Of Ingredients 12

1 tablespoon sesame oil
4 tablespoons canola oil
1 cup of trimmed and quartered brussels sprouts
1 cup diced fennel
2 cups chopped chard
1 cup chopped cremini mushrooms
4 loosely packed cups of leftover rice (about 1 large, quart-size carton, or 2 small pint-size cartons)
Rice wine vinegar, to taste
4 frozen cubes (or 4 tablespoons fresh) Secret Weapon Stir-Fry Sauce (see recipe)
Soy sauce, to taste
Fish sauce, to taste
Hot sauce, to taste

Steps:

  • Heat sesame oil and canola oil in a large pan or a wok over medium-high heat until the oil shimmers. Add the vegetables and stir constantly until they have started to soften and brown, about 4 minutes.
  • Toss in the rice, and use a wooden spoon or spatula to break up the clumps. Some of the rice will stick to the pan, but don't panic. The older and drier the rice, the longer this takes. If it starts sticking a lot, add a dash of rice wine vinegar or water. Keep stirring until the rice softens and becomes slightly translucent.
  • Add the frozen Stir-Fry Sauce cubes, and keep stirring as they melt and coat the rice. Transfer the rice into a bowl and season to taste with soy sauce, rice wine vinegar, fish sauce or hot sauce, or all four.
