Orez prajit cu pui

Orezul prajit este unul dintre cele mai cunoscute si iubite preparate din bucataria asiatica si pe buna dreptate! Rapid, satios, plin de arome si perfect pentru a folosi orezul ramas din ziua anterioara, Orezul prajit cu pui este reteta aceea pe care o faci o data si dupa care nu mai comanzi niciodata fried rice din afara! Secretul unui orez prajit cu adevarat bun sta in doua detalii esentiale — orezul rece, fiert cu o zi inainte, care se prajeste perfect fara sa se lipeasca, si focul mare care sigileaza aromele si da fiecarui bob acea textura usor crocanta si aurie caracteristica bucatariei chinezesti. Puiul marinat cu sos de soia, otet de orez si amidon devine incredibil de fraged si suculent, iar combinatia de Lao Gan Ma, sos de soia si ulei de susan adauga o profunzime de gust pe care nu o obtii altfel! Orez prajit cu pui este exact reteta aceea prietenoasa, versatila si absolut delicioasa pe care o faci dintr-o mana de ingrediente si care aduce toata lumea la masa.

INGREDIENTE (pentru 4 portii)

Pentru pui marinat:

400 grame piept de pui taiat cubulete
2 linguri sos de soia
1 lingura otet de orez
1 lingura rasa amidon
1 catel de usturoi zdrobit
sare

Pentru orez prajit:

150 grame orez jasmin fiert si racit
1 morcov taiat cubulete mici
100 grame mazare
3 fire ceapa verde
2 catei de usturoi zdrobiti
3 oua batute
3 linguri sos de soia
1 lingura Lao Gan Ma chilli cu soia fermentata
1 lingura ulei vegetal
1 lingura ulei de susan

Pentru servire:

ceapa verde inele
seminte de susan

Incepem cu marinada pentru pui. Punem cubuletele de piept de pui intr-un bol si adaugam sosul de soia, otetul de orez, amidonul, usturoiul zdrobit si sarea. Amestecam bine si lasam cateva minute cat pregatim restul ingredientelor. Amidonul este secretul care da puiului o textura catifelata si suculenta la prajire.

Incalzim o lingura de ulei vegetal intr-o tigaie mare sau wok la foc mare. Adaugam puiul marinat si il prajim la foc mare pana devine auriu si bine rumenit pe toate partile. Il scoatem intr-un bol si il dam deoparte.

In aceeasi tigaie adaugam inca o lingura de ulei vegetal si punem ceapa verde taiata rondele si usturoiul zdrobit. Calim cateva secunde, adaugam morcovul taiat cubulete mici si mazarea si calim la foc mare timp de 5 minute, amestecand constant.

Tragem legumele pe jumatate din tigaie si turnam pe cealalta jumatate cele 3 oua batute. Le prajim ca o omleta, amestecand usor, apoi le incorporam cu legumele.

Adaugam orezul rece. Orezul fiert cu o zi inainte functioneaza cel mai bine pentru ca boabele sunt separate si se prajesc perfect. Turnam sosul de soia si Lao Gan Ma si amestecam energic la foc mare astfel incat fiecare bob sa se imbrace uniform in sos. Adaugam puiul prajit si mai gatim totul la foc mare 3-4 minute, amestecand constant.

Inchidem cu lingura de ulei de susan, presaram ceapa verde inele si seminte de susan si servim imediat. Aromat, suculent si absolut de neuitat!

Chicken Fried Rice

Fried rice is one of the most well-known and loved dishes in Asian cuisine — and for good reason! Quick, satisfying, full of flavour and perfect for using up leftover rice from the day before, Chicken Fried Rice is the recipe you make once and after which you never order fried rice from outside again! The secret to a truly good fried rice lies in two essential details — cold rice cooked the day before, which fries perfectly without sticking, and high heat that seals in the flavours and gives every grain that slightly crispy and golden texture characteristic of Chinese cuisine. The chicken marinated with soy sauce, rice vinegar and cornstarch becomes incredibly tender and juicy, while the combination of Lao Gan Ma, soy sauce and sesame oil adds a depth of flavour you simply cannot achieve any other way! Chicken fried rice is exactly that friendly, versatile and absolutely delicious recipe you make from a handful of ingredients and which brings everyone to the table.

INGREDIENTS (for 4 servings)

For the marinated chicken:

400 grams chicken breast cut into small cubes
2 tablespoons soy sauce
1 tablespoon rice vinegar
1 level tablespoon cornstarch
1 garlic clove crushed
salt

For the fried rice:

150 grams cooked and cooled jasmine rice
1 carrot cut into small cubes
100 grams peas
3 spring onions
2 garlic cloves crushed
3 eggs beaten
3 tablespoons soy sauce
1 tablespoon Lao Gan Ma chilli with fermented soy
1 tablespoon vegetable oil
1 tablespoon sesame oil

For serving:

spring onion rings
sesame seeds

We start with the chicken marinade. Place the chicken breast cubes in a bowl and add the soy sauce, rice vinegar, cornstarch, crushed garlic and salt. Mix well and leave for a few minutes while we prepare the remaining ingredients. The cornstarch is the secret that gives the chicken a velvety and juicy texture when frying.

Heat one tablespoon of vegetable oil in a large pan or wok over high heat. Add the marinated chicken and fry over high heat until golden and well browned on all sides. Remove to a bowl and set aside.

In the same pan add another tablespoon of vegetable oil and add the spring onions cut into rounds and the crushed garlic. Stir-fry for a few seconds, then add the diced carrot and peas and stir-fry over high heat for 5 minutes, stirring constantly.

Push the vegetables to one half of the pan and pour the 3 beaten eggs onto the other half. Fry like an omelette, stirring gently, then fold together with the vegetables.

Add the cold rice. Rice cooked the day before works best because the grains are separate and fry perfectly. Pour in the soy sauce and Lao Gan Ma and stir energetically over high heat so that every grain is evenly coated in the sauce. Add the fried chicken and cook everything together over high heat for 3-4 minutes, stirring constantly.

Finish with the tablespoon of sesame oil, scatter spring onion rings and sesame seeds on top and serve immediately. Aromatic, succulent and absolutely unforgettable!
