Thai-Style Curried Chicken Fried Rice
Serves 4 To 6
Ingredients
3 tablespoons fish sauce
1 tablespoon soy sauce
1 tablespoon dark brown sugar
1 pound boneless, skinless chicken breasts, trimmed and cut into 1-inch pieces
Salt
3-1⁄2 tablespoons peanut oil or vegetable oil
2 large eggs, lightly beaten
1 tablespoon plus 1 teaspoon curry powder
1 large onion, sliced thin
5 Thai green chiles, stemmed, seeded, and minced (about 2 tablespoons)
2 garlic cloves, minced
6 cups cold cooked white rice, large clumps broken up with fingers
5 scallions, sliced thin
2 tablespoons minced fresh cilantro
Lime wedges
Instructions
- Combine fish sauce, soy sauce, and sugar in small bowl and stir to dissolve sugar. Set aside. Season chicken with 1⁄2 teaspoon salt; set aside.
- Heat 1-1⁄2 teaspoons oil in 12-inch nonstick skillet over medium heat until shimmering. Add eggs and cook, without stirring, until they just begin to set, about 20 seconds. Scramble and break into small pieces with wooden spoon; continue to cook, stirring constantly, until eggs are cooked through but not browned, about 1 minute longer. Transfer eggs to small bowl and set aside.
- Add 1-1⁄2 teaspoons oil to skillet and heat over medium heat until shimmering. Add 1 teaspoon curry powder and cook until fragrant, about 30 seconds. Add chicken and cook, stirring constantly, until cooked through, about 2 minutes. Transfer to bowl with eggs and set aside.
- Add remaining 2-1⁄2 tablespoons oil to skillet and heat over medium heat until shimmering. Add onion and remaining 1 tablespoon curry powder and cook, stirring constantly, until onion is softened, about 3 minutes. Stir in chiles and garlic and cook until fragrant, about 30 seconds. Add rice and fish sauce mixture and cook, stirring constantly and breaking up rice clumps, until mixture is heated through, about 3 minutes. Add eggs, chicken, scallions, and cilantro and cook, stirring constantly, until heated through, about 1 minute. Serve immediately with lime wedges.
If you can’t find Thai green chiles, 3 jalapeño chiles can be substituted.
