Ingredients

  1. 5 tablespoons peanut oil
  2. 2 shallots, thinly sliced
  3. 2 garlic cloves, minced
  4. 2-inch piece fresh ginger, peeled and grated
  5. Pinch red pepper flakes
  6. 1 small head Napa cabbage, cored and chopped
  7. 1 (8-ounce) can straw mushrooms, drained and rinsed
  8. 1/2 cup frozen peas, run under cool water for 2 minutes to thaw
  9. 1 generous pinch kosher salt
  10. 2 large eggs, lightly beaten
  11. 1 pint cooked long-grain white rice
  12. 3 tablespoons soy sauce
  13. 1 cup cooked duck meat, cut in pieces
  14. Fresh cilantro leaves, for garnish

Instructions

  1. Heat 3 tablespoons of the peanut oil in a wok or large non-stick skillet over medium-high flame. Give the oil a minute to heat up, then add the shallots, garlic, ginger, and red pepper flakes; stir-fry for 1 minute until fragrant. Add the cabbage, mushrooms, and peas, stir-fry until the cabbage is wilted and soft, about 8 minutes; season with a nice pinch of salt. Remove the vegetables to a side platter and wipe out the wok.
  2. Put the pan back on the heat and coat with the remaining 2 tablespoons of oil. When the oil is hot, pour the eggs into the center of the pan. Scramble the egg lightly, then let it set without stirring so it stays in big pieces. Fold in the rice and toss with the egg to combined well, breaking up the rice clumps with the back of a spatula. Return the sauteed vegetables to the pan and moisten with the soy sauce. Toss everything together to heat through and season again with salt. Spoon the fried rice out onto a serving platter, lay the pieces of duck on top and garnish with cilantro.

Everything from this episode is outstanding!! Made both many times and the family loves it.
Christopher Hamilton
I sub. chicken, followed directions to a the T and I felt that it had too much rice, and tasted like any other chinese/asian recipe.
David Perkins
I use some of the ideas for my own fried rice recipe.
Samuel Young
I have made this several times and substituted baby bok choy for the napa and char sui (Chinese barbecue pork) for the duck. Good all these ways! Using leftover rice is really important, it makes it crunchy and dry not sticky.
Felicia Schmidt
absolutly excellent as usual
Erin Stewart
I substituted brown rice and portebello mushrooms, and it was so tasty. Tasted like a chinese restaurant, and the fresh ginger added a lot. I will definitely make this again.
