Charcuterie Fried Rice
In this Chinese-Italian mash-up of fried rice, Food & Wine’s Justin Chapple includes salami and mortadella, along with more traditional ingredients like ginger, soy sauce and scallions.
Ingreadient
- 1/4 cup canola oil
- 4 large eggs, beaten
- Kosher salt
- Pepper
- 4 ounces spicy salami, cut into 1/4-inch dice
- 4 ounces mortadella with pistachios, cut into 1/4-inch dice
- 1/4 cup minced ginger
- 6 garlic cloves, minced
- 6 cups steamed white rice, cooled
- 3 tablespoons low-sodium soy sauce
- 3 tablespoons fresh lime juice
- 1 cup chopped cilantro
- 3 scallions, thinly sliced
- Sambal oelek, for serving
Direction
- In a large nonstick skillet, heat 1 tablespoon of the oil until shimmering. Add the eggs and a generous pinch of salt and cook over moderate heat until set on the bottom, about 2 minutes. Fold the omelet over itself and cook until just golden and set, about 2 minutes more. Using a slotted spatula, transfer to a work surface to cool slightly, then coarsely chop.
- Heat the remaining 3 tablespoons of oil in the skillet. Add the salami and mortadella and stir-fry over moderately high heat until lightly browned and barely rendered, about 3 minutes. Add the ginger and garlic and stir-fry until fragrant and softened, about 2 minutes. Add the rice and stir-fry until hot, about 3 minutes. Stir in the soy sauce and lime juice, then fold in the eggs, cilantro and scallions. Season with salt and pepper. Serve with sambal oelek.
