Easy Fried Rice

Author: ZoomYummy.com

Prep time: 15 mins

Cook time: 10 mins

Total time: 25 mins

Serves: 4

Ingredients

Aromatics
½ tsp powdered ginger
¼ teaspoon red pepper flakes
Vegetables
1 cup diced carrots
1 cup fresh or frozen corn, defrosted
½ cup fresh or frozen peas, defrosted
½ cup chopped scallions
4 tablespoons vegetable oil
4 cups cold cooked rice (I used Basmati)
½ teaspoon salt
¼ teaspoon ground white pepper
2 tablespoons soy sauce
1 large egg, beaten
¼ cup toasted pine nuts, almonds, peanuts, or cashews
2 tablespoons minced cilantro (optional)

Instructions

Set the bowls of aromatics, vegetables, rice and soy sauce near your stove.
Heat your wok over high heat, then lower the heat to medium high.
Pull the wok off the heat and add 2 tablespoon of oil. Pick up the pan and carefully swirl it to coat the bottom and sides. (If the wok smokes wildly the moment you add the oil you've overheated the wok. Remove the wok from the heat and let it cool for a few minutes.)
Stir-fry the ginger and red pepper flakes for about 10 seconds.
Add the carrots and stir fry for 30 seconds.
Add the corn and peas and stir fry for 1 minute.
Swirl the remaining 2 tablespoons of oil into the wok.
Add the rice and scallions stir-fry for 2 minutes.
Season the rice with the salt and white pepper.
Pour the soy sauce around the edges of the wok and stir-fry.
Stir in 1 beaten egg. Stir-fry until the egg is no longer wet. Stir in the nuts and cilantro.

Easy 30-Minute Brown Butter Chicken Pasta

Author: www.ZoomYummy.com

Prep time: 15 mins

Cook time: 15 mins

Total time: 30 mins

Serves: 6 servings

Ingredients

16 oz (450 grams) bow-tie pasta
1 stick (110 grams) unsalted butter
32 oz (950 ml) chicken broth
2 tbsp olive oil, divided
3 chicken breasts, cut into bite-sized cubes
2 cups (200 grams) sliced mushrooms
2 cups (320 grams) halved cherry tomatoes
2 cups (120 grams) fresh spinach
salt
ground black pepper
¾ tsp red paprika powder
1 tsp dried garlic powder
½ tsp curry powder
¼ tsp cayenne pepper
1 tsp dried parsley
1 tsp dried chives
Parmesan cheese (optional)

Instructions

In a large pot, melt the butter over medium heat. Continue to cook until it bubbles and turns a caramel brown color.
Add the pasta to the pot and let cook for about 1 minute, stirring frequently.
Add the chicken broth to the pot and stir.
Season with ¼ tsp salt, ¾ tsp red paprika powder, 1 tsp dried garlic, ½ tsp curry powder, ¼ tsp cayenne pepper, 1 tsp dried parsley and 1 tsp dried chives. Stir. Simmer until all liquid is absorbed by the pasta, stirring occasionally. If all liquid is gone before your pasta is done, add more water and continue to simmer.
While the pasta is simmering, in a skillet, add 1 tbsp olive oil and place over medium to high heat.
Add the chicken to the skillet, season with about ¾ tsp salt and ¼ tsp ground black pepper. Cook until done.
Remove the chicken from the skillet into a separate bowl. Cover with foil.
Add 1 tbsp olive oil in the skillet. Add the mushrooms and tomatoes to the skillet. Season with a little salt. Saute until the mushrooms are soft.
Add in the spinach and cook until the spinach has wilted.
Once all of the chicken broth has been absorbed into the pasta, toss the mushroom-tomato-spinach mixture and the chicken into the pot with the pasta. Stir well to combine. Sprinkle with Parmesan cheese and serve.
Enjoy!
