Instructions

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

Wash produce before use

1

Cook the rice

In a small sauce pot, combine the black rice and 1¼ cups [2¼ cups] water. Bring to a boil, reduce to a simmer, cover, and cook until the rice is tender and the liquid is absorbed, 25 to 30 minutes. Meanwhile, prepare the rest of the meal.

2

Prep and cook the chicken

  • Cut a small corner from the chicken packaging and drain off any excess liquid. Transfer to a plate; pat dry with a paper towel. Season lightly with salt and pepper.
In a large frying pan over medium-high heat, warm 1 teaspoon [2 tsp] oil until hot but not smoking. Add the chicken and cook, stirring once or twice, until lightly browned and cooked through, 6 to 8 minutes. Transfer to a medium bowl. Toss the chicken with half the cashew-tamarind blend (set aside the remaining blend for serving). Season to taste with salt and pepper. Do not clean the pan. While the chicken cooks, prepare the vegetables.

3

Prep and cook the vegetables

  • Remove the stem, ribs, and seeds from the bell pepper; thinly slice the pepper.
  • Trim the stem ends from the green beans if needed; cut the beans into 1-inch lengths.
In the same pan used for the chicken, warm 1 teaspoon [2 tsp] oil over medium-high heat until hot but not smoking. Add the bell pepper and beans, season with salt, and cook, stirring occasionally, until the vegetables are crisp-tender, 2 to 3 minutes. Remove from the heat. Meanwhile, prepare the cilantro and the eggs.

4

Prep the cilantro; cook the eggs

  • Strip the cilantro leaves from the stems. Set aside the leaves for garnish.
  • Crack the eggs into a small bowl and season with salt and pepper. Lightly beat with a fork until just blended.
In a small frying pan over medium-low heat, warm 1 teaspoon [2 tsp] oil until hot but not smoking. Add the eggs, swirling to coat the bottom of the pan evenly. Cook without stirring until the eggs are set and beginning to release from the pan at the edges, 2 to 3 minutes. Using a spatula, gently flip the eggs and cook until just cooked through, about 30 seconds longer. Transfer to a cutting board to cool slightly. Gently roll up the eggs, then cut crosswise into ¼-inch-wide ribbons.

Serve

Transfer the rice to individual bowls. Arrange the chicken, bell pepper and beans, egg ribbons, and cilantro in piles on top. Serve the remaining cashew-tamarind blend on the side.
