Ingredients:
Instructions:
- Rinse the white rice under cold water until the water runs clear.
- In a medium saucepan, bring 1 cup of water to a boil.
- Add the rinsed rice, reduce the heat to low, cover, and simmer for about 15 minutes, or until the rice is fully cooked and the water is absorbed.
- Remove from heat, let it stand covered for 5 minutes, then fluff the rice with a fork and set it aside.
- While the rice is cooking, chop the onion, mince the ginger root and garlic, slice the red hot chili peppers, chop the red pepper, and slice the shallots.
- In a large skillet or wok, heat the olive oil over medium-high heat.
- Add the chopped onion and sauté for about 2-3 minutes, or until it begins to soften.
- Add the minced ginger and garlic, and cook for another 1 minute until fragrant.
- Add the sliced red hot chili peppers, chopped red pepper, and sliced shallots to the skillet.
- Sauté for about 3-4 minutes, or until the vegetables are tender.
- Add the cooked rice to the skillet with the vegetables.
- Stir to combine and cook for about 2-3 minutes, allowing the rice to heat through and slightly fry.
- Stir in the peas and soy sauce.
- Continue to stir-fry for another 2 minutes, ensuring everything is well mixed and heated through.
- Remove the skillet from heat and stir in the chopped fresh parsley.
- Your Spicy Fried Rice is ready to be served! Enjoy it hot as a main dish or a tasty side.
Tips:
- Rinse the white rice thoroughly before cooking to remove excess starch and prevent it from becoming too sticky.
- Use day-old rice for the best texture, as freshly cooked rice can be too moist and clumpy for frying.
- Adjust the number of red hot chili peppers according to your heat preference.
- Ensure all vegetables are chopped uniformly to allow even cooking.
- Use a large pan or wok to give the ingredients enough space to fry properly without steaming.
Spicy fried rice is a versatile and quick dish that's sure to satisfy any craving for heat and flavor. By following these simple steps and tips, you can easily prepare a meal that's both delicious and customizable. Perfect for any occasion, this spicy fried rice will surely become a staple in your kitchen.
