Preparation

Step 1

Ingredients

2 tablespoons canola oil


1 onion, chopped


2 garlic cloves, finely chopped


1 bird chile, stemmed and thinly sliced


1 medium carrot, halved lengthwise and thinly sliced crosswise


1 cup stemmed and coarsely chopped mustard greens


3 cups cooked black rice (see Note)


1 cup bean sprouts


1 cup thawed frozen edamame


4 ounces cored pineapple, cut into 1/4-inch pieces (about 1 cup) 


3 tablespoons soy sauce


2 scallions, thinly sliced


1 teaspoon sweet chili sauce


How to Make It

Step 1    

In a large cast-iron skillet, heat the oil over moderately high heat. Add the onion and cook, stirring occasionally, until softened, about 6 minutes. Add the garlic and chile, and cook, stirring, until fragrant, about 1 minute. 


Step 2    

Increase heat to high. Add the carrot and mustard greens, and stir-fry until crisp-tender, 2 to 3 minutes. Stir in the rice until hot, about 2 minutes. Add the bean sprouts, edamame, pineapple, and soy sauce, and stir-fry until the bean sprouts are crisp-tender and the pineapple and edamame are heated through, about 2 minutes. Fold in the scallions and chili sauce.


Notes

To cook black rice (also called 
“forbidden rice”), in a medium saucepan, bring 1 2/3 cups water and 1 cup black rice 
to a boil over moderate heat. Simmer, 
covered, over moderately low heat until tender, about 20 minutes. Remove from heat, and let stand 5 minutes. Scrape the rice onto a large rimmed baking sheet to cool completely.
