Yellow Fried Rice with Chicken and Green Beans – Gluten-free version

Thai street stalls make a version like this, which gets its golden color from curry and turmeric. The vegetables stay crisp, and the fresh side salad of cilantro, carrot and red onion refreshes every bite. Gluten-free version: Gluten-free soy sauce (tamari).

👨‍🍳 Method

  1. 1
    Heat the oil in a wok over very high heat.
    ⚙ Pan-fryingStoveWok
    💡Very high heat and a large pan: the vegetables char instead of steaming, and don't overcrowd the pan.
  2. 2
    Add the chicken cubes and fry 4 minutes, until cooked through. Remove and set aside.
    ⚙ Adding to the hot fat and fryingStove
    💡Add by cooking time: what needs long (onion, carrot, meat) goes in first, and what burns fast (garlic, dry spices) goes in last, only until fragrant.
  3. 3
    Add the onion, carrot and green beans and fry 3 minutes, tossing.
    ⚙ Adding to the hot fat and fryingStove
  4. 4
    Add the garlic, curry powder and turmeric and fry 20 seconds, until fragrant.

  5. 5
    Add the cold rice, separate the grains with a spatula and stir-fry 3 minutes over high heat.
    StoveSilicone spatula
    💡Cold, dry day-old rice stays in separate grains; hot fresh rice releases steam and starch and sticks together in a lump.
  6. 6
    Add the gluten-free soy sauce, fish sauce and sugar and stir-fry another minute, until the rice is coated in the sauce.
    Stove
  7. 7
    Return the chicken cubes and stir everything together.
    Stove
  8. 8
    Serve immediately, with a pile of the grated carrot, cilantro and red onion, and with the lime for squeezing.
