SERVINGS
Ingredients
- 6 tablespoons sunflower oil, divided
- 4 cloves garlic, minced
- 2 teaspoons minced ginger
- 1 onion, chopped
- 1 cup fresh or frozen peas
- 1 large carrot, chopped
- 2 sticks celery, chopped
- 1 each gizzard, liver, and heart, chopped
- 6 cups cooked, unsalted brown rice, preferably day-old
- 3 tablespoons soy sauce
- Freshly ground black pepper, to taste
- Chili flakes or diced fresh cayenne peppers (optional)
- Sliced scallions, freshly minced chives, or sesame seeds for garnish
Directions
- In a large wok or deep skillet, heat 2 tablespoons oil over medium-high heat. Add garlic, ginger, and onion, and cook until fragrant, about 2 minutes.
- Add remaining vegetables and stir-fry on high heat for 3 minutes, or until carrots are slightly tender but not yet fully cooked. Set aside in a bowl.
- In the same pan, add 1 tablespoon oil and stir-fry organ meats until cooked through. Set aside in bowl with vegetables.
- Also in same pan, add 3 tablespoons oil and reduce heat to medium. Add rice all at once, stirring immediately to break up clumps and coat each grain with oil. Continue stirring to prevent rice from burning. After rice is steaming, add soy sauce and stir until sauce is fully incorporated.
- Return vegetables and meat to pan and stir-fry for 1 minute longer, adding pepper and optional chili flakes. Taste and add more soy sauce if desired.
- Serve piping hot, garnished with scallions, chives, or sesame seeds.
