Fried Rice with Marmite

A bold twist on classic fried rice, this version features the distinctive, savory punch of Marmite for a rich umami flavor that pairs well with crisp veggies and eggs.

Ingredients:

  • 1 cup uncooked white rice
  • 2 cups water
  • 1/2 pound ground chicken
  • 1/2 tablespoon light-colored soy sauce
  • ground white pepper
  • 1 tablespoon vegetable oil
  • 1 clove garlic, minced
  • 2 bok choy stalks, chopped 2 eggs, lightly beaten
  • 2 tablespoons light soy sauce
  • 1 tablespoon yeast extract spread (such as marmite®)
  • white pepper to taste

Directions:

  1. Bring the rice and water to a boil in a saucepan over high heat. Reduce heat to medium-low, cover, and simmer until the rice is tender, and the liquid has been absorbed, 20 to 25 minutes. If possible, cook the rice a day beforehand and leave it overnight in the fridge or cook it a couple of hours before you are ready to use it and leave it to cool.
  2. Combine the chicken, 1/2 tablespoons soy sauce, and pepper in a bowl. Set aside.
  3. Heat 1 tablespoon of oil in a frying pan or a wok on high heat and fry the garlic and chicken until brown, making sure to break the chicken up into bits as you go along. Add the bok choy, cooled rice, and pepper. Stir for a minute.
  4. Reduce the heat to medium; make a hole in the middle of the frying pan and pour the egg into the hole. Add more oil if necessary. Cook for a minute until the egg starts to set, cover the top of the egg with the rice and cook for half a minute more; stir.
  5. Stir in 2 tablespoons soy sauce; then stir in the yeast extract spread. When everything has turned a slightly brownish color, add some pepper to taste. Give it a final quick stir, make sure that the chicken is cooked thoroughly, and serve.
