After Miranda posted that Asian style rib recipe I just had to try them out for myself. Since there was no official recipe for the fried rice, I combined what she said with a recipe I found online to create this one. It has a hint of spice, is really hearty, and overall went really well with her delicious Ginger Soy Ribs!
Here is what you will need:
1 tablespoon brown sugar
1 tablespoon fish sauce
1 tablespoon soy sauce
1 tablespoon fresh lime juice
1 teaspoon sambal oelek (ground fresh chile paste), divided
1/4 teaspoon salt, divided
2 large eggs, lightly beaten
1 bunch scallions
2 tablespoons veggie oil, divided
2 1/2 cups cooked and cooled rice (I used white but I think brown might have tasted even better)
1/4 cup chopped onion
1 cup julienne-cut red bell pepper
1 1/2 teaspoons minced garlic
1 tsp peanut butter
2 cups loosely packed chopped red cabbage
Lime wedges for garnish (optional)
1 tablespoon brown sugar
1 tablespoon fish sauce
1 tablespoon soy sauce
1 tablespoon fresh lime juice
1 teaspoon sambal oelek (ground fresh chile paste), divided
1/4 teaspoon salt, divided
2 large eggs, lightly beaten
1 bunch scallions
2 tablespoons veggie oil, divided
2 1/2 cups cooked and cooled rice (I used white but I think brown might have tasted even better)
1/4 cup chopped onion
1 cup julienne-cut red bell pepper
1 1/2 teaspoons minced garlic
1 tsp peanut butter
2 cups loosely packed chopped red cabbage
Lime wedges for garnish (optional)
Directions:
Combine first 4 ingredients, 1/2 teaspoon sambal oelek, and 1/8 teaspoon salt in a small bowl, stirring with a whisk. Combine eggs and remaining 1/2 teaspoon sambal oelek in a bowl. Separate green tops from green onions, and diagonally chop; set aside. Cut green onion bottoms into 1-inch pieces; set aside. Chop up your cabbage and onion as well and set aside. The recipe directions move kind of fast, so I liked having everything chopped and ready to go!
Heat a large nonstick skillet over medium-high heat. Add 2 teaspoons oil to pan and 1 tsp peanut butter, swirling pan to coat evenly. Add rice and stir-fry 1 1/2 minutes, stirring constantly. Transfer rice mixture to a large bowl.
Heat 2 teaspoons oil in pan. Add onions to pan; stir-fry 30 seconds or until tender. Add brown sugar mixture to pan; bring to a boil. Reduce heat, and simmer 1 minute or until liquid thickens slightly, stirring occasionally. Add onion mixture to rice mixture.
Wipe pan clean or use a new one if anything is left sticking to bottom and sides. Bring pan to medium-high heat. Add remaining 2 teaspoons oil to pan, swirling to coat. Add bell pepper and cabbage; stir-fry 3 minutes or until veggies are tender. Add the remaining 1/8 teaspoon salt, green onion bottoms, and garlic; stir-fry 1 minute or until fragrant.

This recipe took a lot of pots and bowls because I was making the ribs at the same time...luckily my husband almost always offers to do the dishes after dinner. The poor guy didn't know what was waiting for him after tonight's meal - at least he was still full at the end of his cleaning shift!
