Rich roast duck (available at an Asian market), fragrant basil and chunks of sweet pineapple make this quick dish a cut above your everyday fried rice.
Ingredients
- ¼ cup oyster sauce
- 1 tablespoon soy sauce
- 2 tablespoons nahm prik pao - Thai chili jam
- 1 teaspoon fish sauce - more to taste
- 2 tablespoons neutral oil - such as canola or peanut
- ½ cup yellow onion - diced
- 1 ½ cups sweet bell peppers - 1/4-inch dice
- 1 cup shiitake mushrooms - thinly sliced, stem before slicing
- ½ cup diced pineapple
- ¼ cup scallions - 3 medium, thinly sliced
- 2 tablespoons fresh cilantro stems - minced
- 2 tablespoons fresh ginger - minced
- 2 tablespoons fresh garlic - minced
- ¼ teaspoon white pepper
- 1 ½ cups roast duck - shredded, or duck confit
- 4 cups cooked jasmine rice - cold, from about 2 cups raw
- ½ cup fresh basil - chopped
Instructions
- Whisk together the oyster sauce, soy sauce, nahm prik pao, and fish sauce in a small bowl.
- Using your hands or a fork, gently break up any clumps in the rice until the grains are separate.
- Heat vegetable oil in a 12-inch nonstick skillet over high heat until smoking.
- Add the onion, bell peppers, and shiitake mushrooms and stir-fry, 3 to 4 minutes.
- Add the pineapple and duck, and stir-fry for another minute.
- Add the scallions, ginger, garlic, cilantro stems, and white pepper and stir-fry until fragrant and lightly golden, 30 to 60 seconds.
- Add the rice to the wok and gently stir-fry, stopping occasionally so the rice has a chance to brown a bit until it has some crispy edges and is heated through, about 3 minutes. You should hear sizzling during the last minute or so.
- Add in the sauce mixture and stir to combine.
- Taste and adjust the flavor as necessary with more oyster sauce or nahm prik pao.
- Take off the heat, add in the basil, and stir through.
- Transfer the fried rice to plates or bowls and serve right away.
