This is a Euro-Asian inspired fried rice. Besides the Chicken Congee soup, I found myself making fried rice whenever I am feeling under the weather. I wasn’t going to blog about it, but I found myself taking pictures just in case. And I am glad I did because this dish is easy and too tasty not to share. I almost ate the entire servings. I couldn’t stop eating it. 😀
Prepare the ingredients.
*Note: I decided not to add the egg, but you can add it if you prefer.
Ingredients:
- 2-3 servings of steamed white rice or brown rice
- 5 jumbo shrimp, peeled, deveined and cut in bite pieces or 1 1/2 cups shredded roasted chicken breast
- 1/2 cup pesto (3/4 cup if you are using chicken)
- 1/2 medium red bell peppers, diced
- 3 cloves garlic, finely chopped
- 3 sprigs of green onions, cut about 1/4 inch
- 1/4 of 1 medium onion, diced
- Italian parsley leaves for garnish, chopped
- 1 egg, scrambled (optional)
- salt and black pepper to taste
- lime
Preparation Methods:
Heat skillet over medium heat and coat with oil when hot. Add garlic, white and green onions, and bell peppers. Saute for 1 minute.
Push them to the side of the skillet and add the shrimp. Sprinkle with a pinch salt and pepper. Stir-fry until opaque.
Add the steamed white or brown rice and pesto.
Mix until well incorporated.
Transfer into a serving platter and squeeze lime over rice and sprinkle with chopped Italian parsley. Serve warm.
