Chicken Manchurian Fried Rice

Manchurian Fried Rice is a vibrant, hearty Indo-Chinese fusion dish. It’s the ultimate 'meal-in-a-bowl'. Unlike standard fried rice, which is usually a side dish, this Chicken Manchurian is a full meal, seasoned to perfection with Hogtown Manchurian seasoning for that authentic, bold flavour.

Ingredients

Protein & Vegetable prep

1 lb. Chicken, or Pork, or Steak - finely sliced
1 tbsp Hogtown Manchurian seasoning
3 tbsp neutral oil, for frying protein and vegetables
1 clove garlic, minced
4 eggs, scrambled
2 cups of bean sprouts
1 cup frozen mixed vegetables (add your favourites)

Rice prep – Basmati Rice or Long Grain Rice

2 cups basmati rice
4 cups water
3 tbsp neutral oil, for frying rice

Instructions

Prepare the Rice - Rinse the rice until the water runs clear.
Bring 4 cups of water to a boil. Add rinsed rice to the pot and simmer on medium heat for 10 minutes. Then cover with a lid, turn off the burner and let it sit for 10 more mins. At the end of the 10 mins, uncover and fluff the rice up.
Prepare Stir-Fry – Season the protein with 1 tbsp of Manchurian seasoning and set a side. Heat 3 tbsp of oil in a large wok or large pan over med to high heat. Add the garlic and sauté for 30 seconds until fragrant but not burnt. Add the seasoned protein and stir-fry until cooked through and slightly browned.
Push the meat to the side, add the 4 scrambled eggs into the center, and cook, then mix into the protein. Add the frozen mixed vegetables and bean sprouts, tossing them with the protein and eggs for 1–2 minutes, and move to a bowl.
Fry the Rice – add 3 tbsp of neutral oil once hot, add the rice with 1 tbsp of Manchurian seasoning, toss until coated and let it get crispy. Continue for 2 minutes or so, and then add the protein and vegetables for the final toss with rice.

Notes

Garnish with cilantro and chopped green onions. Season as desired with soy sauce and hot chili oil.
