Energy-Boosting Chicken Breast and Ginseng Fried Rice
[Mood & Cook #.50] Chicken Breast Recipe Part 4: Luxurious Health Food for Students!
I often buy fresh ginseng roots from the mart for a boost of energy. When stir-fried with chicken breast, it balances the slightly bitter taste and makes for a delicious meal! This recipe was provided as part of the Rural Development Administration’s SNS culinary content in October 2020.
Ingredients- 2 fresh ginseng roots
- 40g onion (about 1/4 medium onion)
- 3 cloves garlic
- 20g carrot (about 1/5 medium carrot)
- 80g chicken breast (about 1/2 breast)
- 1 bowl of cooked rice (warm)
- 1 egg
- 2 Tbsp oyster sauce
Cooking Instructions
Step 1
First, prepare the vegetables that will add flavor to your fried rice. Wash the ginseng roots thoroughly to remove any soil. Peel and finely mince the onion and carrot. Thinly slice the garlic.
Step 2
Boil the chicken breast until tender. Once cooked, let it cool slightly, then shred it along the grain. This will ensure it integrates well with the rice for a pleasant texture.
Step 3
Heat a little cooking oil in a pan over low heat. Add the sliced garlic and cook slowly until fragrant and lightly golden. Be careful not to burn the garlic; slow cooking releases its aroma beautifully.
Step 4
When the garlic turns a nice golden color, add the minced carrot, onion, and ginseng to the pan. Increase the heat to medium-high and stir-fry quickly to keep the vegetables crisp and fresh. Stir-fry until the aromatic scent of ginseng fills the air.
Step 5
Once the vegetables are slightly cooked, pour the 2 tablespoons of oyster sauce around the edges of the pan. Quickly mix everything together to evenly coat the ingredients. This step infuses the dish with a rich, savory flavor.
Step 6
Finally, add the bowl of warm cooked rice. Gently stir and fold using a spatula, being careful not to mash the rice grains. Continue to stir-fry until all the ingredients are well combined and the rice is fluffy. This delicious and visually appealing Chicken Breast Ginseng Fried Rice is now ready! For an extra touch, consider topping it with a fried egg.
