Ingredient IQ
Cup for cup, black rice contains the most protein, fiber, and antioxidants of any rice. The grains derive their deep purplish-black hue from a powerful antioxidant called anthocyanin—the same one that gives blueberries both their pigment and their status as a superfood.

Make It Ahead
Fried rice can taste even better with day-old rice; the black rice (Step 1) can be prepared up to 2 days ahead. Let cool, then cover and refrigerate. When ready to serve, proceed with the rest of the recipe (Steps 2 through 4).

Instructions

2-serving instructions (4-serving modifications in red)

Wash produce before use

1

Cook the rice

  • Rinse the rice.
In a small sauce pot, combine the rice and 1¼ cups [2¼ cups] water. Bring to a boil, reduce to a simmer, cover, and cook until the rice is just tender and the liquid is absorbed, 15 to 20 minutes. Uncover and continue cooking until the rice is slightly dry, 3 to 5 minutes. Fluff with a fork, cover, and keep warm.
While the rice cooks, prepare the stir-fry ingredients.

2

Prep the stir-fry ingredients

  • Cut a small corner from the ground turkey packaging and drain off any excess liquid. Transfer to a plate; pat dry with a paper towel.
  • Cut the mushrooms into quarters.
  • Trim the root ends from the scallions; thinly slice the scallions, keeping the white and green parts separate. Set aside the green parts for garnish.
  • Crack the eggs into a medium bowl and season with salt and pepper. Using a fork or whisk, lightly beat until just blended
  • Cut away any core from the cabbage; thinly slice the cabbage.
  • Cut the lime into wedges for garnish.

3

Cook the turkey and vegetables

In a large frying pan [large sauce pot] over medium-high heat, warm 1 to 2 tablespoons oil until hot but not smoking. Add the ground turkey and mushrooms, season with salt and pepper, and cook, stirring to break up the meat, until the turkey is lightly browned but not yet cooked through, 3 to 4 minutes. Add the mirepoix and cook, stirring occasionally, until the vegetables are just tender, 2 to 4 minutes. Stir in the white parts of the scallions and cook until fragrant and the turkey is cooked through, about 1 minute. Transfer to a plate. Do not clean the pan.

4

Finish the fried rice

In the same pan used for the turkey and vegetables, if dry, add 1 to 2 teaspoons oil. Warm over medium heat until hot but not smoking. Add the eggs and cook, stirring gently, until just set but still moist, 2 to 4 minutes. Add the rice, turkey and vegetables, cabbage, and stir-fry blend and cook, stirring constantly, until the ingredients are warmed through, 1 to 2 minutes. Remove from the heat and season to taste with salt and pepper.

Serve

Transfer the fried rice to individual bowls. Garnish with the green parts of the scallions, sprinkle with the shichimi togarashi, and serve with the lime wedges.
