When the craving for takeout hits, get dinner on the table quickly with this fried rice. A true one-pan wonder, it features tender chicken and fresh spring veggies.
Contains: wheat, soy. Note: The chicken may arrive frozen for freshness. Store it in the refrigerator to defrost before cooking. If you need to defrost it same day, place the sealed package in a bowl of cold water, and leave the tap running in a thin stream for about 30 minutes.
What You Get
Carrots
Sugar snap peas
Cut chicken breast (see note below)
Scallion-ginger sauce
Cooked rice
Stir-fry sauce
What You'll Need
Vegetable oil
Eggs (optional)
Soy sauce or salt
Sriracha or hot sauce (optional)
Step 1
Trim and chop about 1 cup of the carrots. Trim and slice about 1 cup of the sugar snaps into bite-size pieces. Drain the chicken and pat dry with paper towels.
Step 2
In a large wok or frying pan over medium-high heat, warm 2 tablespoons of the scallion-ginger sauce. Add the carrots and stir-fry until tender-crisp, about 3 minutes. Add the sugar snaps and stir-fry until bright green, 1 minute longer. Transfer the vegetables to a plate and set aside.
Step 3
Return the pan to medium-high heat, and warm 2 tablespoons of the scallion-ginger sauce. Add the chicken and stir-fry until firm and cooked through, 3 to 4 minutes. Transfer to the plate with the vegetables.
Step 4
Return the pan to the heat, and warm the remaining scallion-ginger sauce and 1 tablespoon vegetable oil. Add the rice, stir to coat, then cook undisturbed until crispy and golden on the bottom, 4 to 5 minutes. If using eggs, push the rice to the sides of the pan to make a hole in the center, and add 1 teaspoon vegetable oil, along with 2 eggs. Scramble until soft curds have formed, 2 minutes.
Step 5
Return the vegetables and chicken to the pan, drizzle with the stir-fry sauce, and stir to coat and warm through, 1 minute longer. Season with soy sauce to taste.
Step 6
Heap the fried rice in bowls, drizzle with sriracha, if you want a kick, and serve warm.
