Ingredients

2 cups brown rice

3 cups chicken stock

1 lemon

3 tbsp KIKKOMAN soy sauce (to me, this brand is the cadillac!)

4 tbsp canola oil

1 tbsp butter

2 medium sized carrots, finely cut

1 medium sized onion, finely chopped

1 large stalk celery, finely chopped

1/2 cup fresh or frozen peas

1/4 red pepper (sweet) finely chopped

2 cloves garlic, finely minced

4 tbsp fresh chives, finely chopped (or 3 tbsp dried)

1 tbsp Chinese five-spice mixture

1/2 tsp vanilla extract

1 tsp rice flour

1 egg

salt and pepper to taste

Directions

Prepare the rice by boiling in the chicken stock until el dente (still having some bite to it)

Remove rice from pot RESERVING the liquid

Transfer the rice to a deep frying pan or wok

--------------------------------------------------------------------------

Before proceeding further, bring the stock to the boil,

adding one whole lemon, cut in half to release its juices

Continue boiling the stock on high heat, removing the lemon halves after 10 minutes.

Boil the stock down to a reduction of 1/2 the original quantity.

--------------------------------------------------------------------------

While the stock reduces:

to the rice in the wok, add the oil, butter , Chinese five-spice, and soy sauce

mix well

heat should be medium to avoid scorching, and mixture should be stirred often

add the vanilla

Crazy as this sounds, the vanilla serves to heighten the flavor of this dish

add the carrots, celery, onions, garlic, red pepper and peas, combining thoroughly and stirring frequently

Now:

break one whole egg separately and whisk until well combined

add SLOWLY to the rice so it does not cook immediately in clumps like you see in egg foo yong

add half the chives; reserve the other half for garnishing

When the stock is reduced, add it to the mixture

Add the rice flour, and stir well to help thicken the remaining reduction

Add salt and pepper to taste, and serve.

ENJOY !
