Ingredients

  • 2 Tbsp. coconut or peanut oil
  • 2 tsp. minced garlic
  • 1 tsp. minced ginger
  • 2 Tbsp. Thai red curry paste
  • 1 chicken breast, sliced into thin, small ¼ inch pieces
  • 1 red pepper, thinly sliced
  • 1 small onion, thinly sliced
  • ½ lb. mushrooms, sliced
  • 2 cups broccoli florets
  • 4 cups cooked long grain brown rice (use day- old, cold rice - it can't be mushy!)
  • 2 Tbsp. fish sauce
  • 2 Tbsp. oyster sauce
  • 2 eggs
  • 1/2 cup diced pineapple
  • 1 cup cherry tomatoes
  • 2 Tbsp. lime juice
  • 1 cup loosely torn Thai basil leaves
  • ¼ cup chopped cilantro
  • 3 green onions sliced
  • 1 cup cucumber cut into ¼ inch thick quartered pieces

Instructions

  • Break up any rice clumps so that rice is separated into individual rice pieces. Heat oil in a wok over high heat.
  • Add garlic, ginger, chili paste and chicken. Cook, stirring occasionally for 2-3 minutes to brown chicken. Add red pepper and onion and cook for about 2 minutes. Add mushrooms and broccoli and cook 2-3 minutes longer until chicken is fully cooked.
  • Add rice and stir for about about 1 minute. Add fish sauce and oyster sauce and mix in.
  • Push rice to the edges and crack both eggs into the center, scrambling and breaking into pieces as the egg cooks (1 minute). 
  • Mix scrambled egg in with rice, add tomatoes and pineapple, and stir fry for 1-3 more minutes until rice starts to turn toasty and all ingredients are mixed well.
  • Remove from heat and stir in lime juice, basil, green onion, cilantro, and cucumber.
