Observe 1 on Ginger: I don’t grate it or mince it as a result of I simply toss it within the the bldner with the remainder of the sauce elements. I’ve additionally used lemongrass paste right here and it’s scrumptious!
Observe 2 on Cooking the Rice: Most crispy rice recipes name for day-old cooked rice. Perhaps I’m simply lazy, however truthfully, I’ve not discovered this to be obligatory. I prepare dinner the rice within the Prompt Pot with this methodology – for this I do 2 cups of rinsed jasmine rice to 2 1/2 cups water, cooked for 3 minutes at excessive stress and rested for a 15 minute pure stress launch. I usually simply make this, fry up a batch for the same-day salad, after which hold the remainder within the fridge for one more salad later within the week.
Observe 3a on Oven Methodology: In the event you don’t have an air fryer, I might advocate “frying” the rice within the oven. Bake it at 425 levels for about 8-10 minutes close to the highest of the oven (nearer to the heating component). It’ll get crispy on the skin, however keep chewy on the within.
Observe 3b on Skillet Frying: You can fry this rice in oil in a skillet, but it surely’s not my favourite as a result of a) it’s messy, and b) it requires your rice to be a lot drier to start with with the intention to get it crisped up. You’ll need to use day-old rice, after which fry it in about 1/4 cup of impartial oil till it’s golden and crispy. Some recipes even advocate drying the rice out within the oven to make sure that the rice is dry sufficient to fry nicely, which, for me, is a dealbreaker. Too many steps. LOL. One other consideration: your completed rice will probably be extra oily than the opposite two strategies so it’s possible you’ll discover that you simply don’t want as a lot of the dressing.
