Preparation

  • Heat a 14-inch wok or 12-inch skillet over medium-high heat until a bead of water vaporizes within 1 to 2 seconds of contact. Add the oil, swirl the wok to coat, and then add the scallions, ginger, garlic, and lemongrass. Stir-fry with a metal or wooden wok spatula until fragrant and light golden, 30 to 60 seconds.
  • Add the carrots and beans and stir-fry until slightly softened, 2 to 3 minutes. Stir in the Sriracha and stir-fry until all of the ingredients are coated, about 30 seconds.
  • Using your hands or a fork, gently break up any clumps in the rice until the grains are separate. Add the rice to the wok and gently stir-fry, stopping occasionally so the rice has a chance to brown a bit, until it has some crispy edges and is heated through, about 3 minutes. You should hear sizzling during the last minute or so.
  • Drizzle the fish sauce over the fried rice. Add the snap peas and bell peppers and stir-fry until softened and brightly colored, 30 to 60 seconds. Taste and adjust the flavor as necessary with more Sriracha or fish sauce.
  • Add the chicken and gently stir-fry until heated through, 30 to 60 seconds. Transfer the fried rice to plates or bowls and serve right away.

    Really needed some more sauce to spice it up. Very plain - especially the chicken, which was just plain roast chicken as there was no sauce to coat it.
