SHEET-PAN FRIED RICE WITH VEGAN 'XO' SAUCE

Steps:

• Place a sheet pan on the middle oven rack and heat to 450 degrees.
• In a large bowl, combine the rice with salt, 2 tablespoons soy sauce, sesame oil and half of the diced onion. Toss to combine well. Remove the sheet pan from the oven, and spread the rice out evenly. Bake for 15 minutes.
• Meanwhile, make the sauce: In a medium saucepan on medium-high heat, add 1 to 2 tablespoons neutral oil and the remaining diced onion. Cook for 1 to 2 minutes until the onions start to soften, then reduce heat to medium and cook for 2 minutes more until translucent. Add the remaining 6 to 7 tablespoons neutral oil, along with the mushrooms, garlic, ginger, remaining 1 tablespoon soy sauce, dark soy sauce and red-pepper flakes. Reduce heat to medium-low and cook for 10 to 12 minutes, until the mushrooms are completely soft. If the oil bubbles too much, reduce the heat to low.
• After 15 minutes, remove the sheet pan from the oven, add the frozen mixed vegetables and toss with the rice to evenly distribute. Make 4 to 6 divots in the rice (depending on how many eggs you are using), drizzle a tiny bit of neutral oil into each divot to prevent sticking, and break an egg into each. Return to the oven for 6 to 10 minutes until the whites are set but the yolks are still runny.
• To serve, spoon some of the sauce over the rice and top with scallions. If the rice needs more seasoning, add more sauce or season with salt.

Steps:

• Preheat your oven to 425 degrees F. Spray a large rimmed baking sheet with nonstick spray.Dice the raw chicken, carrots, bell pepper, and onion. You want the chicken to be in 1/2 or 1 inch pieces. The carrots should be diced pretty small, they cook the slowest. The smaller they are diced the faster they will cook. See photos.Add the chicken, carrots, bell pepper, and onion to the prepared sheet pan.In a small bowl, melt the butter. Stir in the garlic, salt, ginger, soy sauce, oyster sauce, and sesame oil. Add 1/4 cup of this mixture to the chicken and veggies on the pan (the rest will be mixed into the rice). Toss the chicken and veggies with your hands or a wooden spoon to get it all coated. Spread it out evenly.Roast in the oven for 6 minutes.Pour the remaining butter/soy sauce mixture over your day-old rice. (don't bother washing the small bowl) Stir it together and break up the rice if there are chunks. Set aside.In the same small bowl that you mixed the butter in, whisk together 4 eggs and season with a bit of salt and pepper.After 6 minutes, take the pan out of the oven and use a spatula to move the chicken and veggies over so that 1/4 of the pan is empty (see photos). Pour the eggs directly on the pan.Return the pan to the oven and bake for 3-4 minutes. Keep an eye on it!When the eggs are just barely set, take the pan out and use a spatula to "scramble" the eggs. Break them up and mix it in with the chicken and veggies.Add the rice on top of the chicken and spread evenly.Bake at 425 for 15 minutes.Toss everything together with a spatula and bake for another 15 minutes, until the rice is looking a bit browned on top and there isn't too much moisture on the bottom of the pan. Test one of the carrots to see if it is tender.Toss in the frozen peas and stir. The peas should thaw very quickly, but if you are worried about it, pop the pan back in the oven for another minute or two to make sure the peas are warmed.Garnish with green onions and cilantro. Serve hot! This would be delicious served with Asian Marinated Cucumber Salad.
