Quick and easy Thai rice. Great way to spice up and serve leftover white rice.

ingredients

3 Tbsp vegetable oil
4 cloves garlic, minced
1 1/2 Tbsp chopped fresh ginger
1 small onion, roughly chopped
1 tsp curry powder (Madras-style)
1/2 tsp chili powder
1/2 tsp ground coriander
4 cups cooked jasmine rice
1/2 cup golden raisins
3 Tbsp soy sauce
1 cup shredded chicken
1 scallion, thinly slided
2 Tbsp finely chopped fresh cilantro
1 cucumber, peeled and thinly sliced

directions

Heat oil in a large nonstick skillet or straight-sided sauté pan over high heat. When hot, add the garlic and stir-fry until slightly golden, about 5 seconds. Add ginger and onion; stir-fry until the onion is softened, 3 to 4 minutes. Stir in the curry powder, chili powder and coriander. Add the rice and raisins, blending well. Stir in the soy sauce and the chicken blending well. Add the scallion and cilantro. Stir-fry for another 30 seconds. Transfer to a platter, garnish with cucumber and lime, and serve with extra soy sauce on the side.
