Ingredients

The following ingredients have 4 Servings
  • 2 tablespoons peanut oil (or any vegetable oil)
  • 1/2 to 3/4 teaspoon ground turmeric
  • 1/2 cup thinly sliced shallots (a fairly large bulb)
  • 3 cloves garlic (minced)
  • 1 tablespoon minced fresh ginger
  • 4 cups cooked (cold rice (I used brown rice))
  • 1 cup fresh or frozen peas
  • 1 teaspoon salt (add more if necessary)
  • 2 scallions (sliced)
  • chopped cilantro
  • red pepper flakes

Instruction

  • Heat peanut oil in a wok or skillet over medium-high heat. Add turmeric and let it dissolve in oil. Add shallots and cook for about 3 minutes, until they turn translucent. Be sure to stir the shallots frequently. Add garlic and ginger and cook for 30 seconds.
  • Add rice and stir. Use the back of your spatula to break up any big clumps of rice. Add peas, salt, and sliced scallions. Continue cooking until rice has heated through, about a few minutes.
  • Top rice with chopped cilantro and red pepper flakes, if desired. Serve with your favorite vegetables and protein.
