Apricot Crumble Fried Rice

Ingredients

• Butter (4 tablespoons, cold and cubed)
• Brown sugar (1/2 cup)
• All-purpose flour (1 cup)
• Cashews (1/2 cup, chopped)
• Green onions (3, sliced)
• Eggs (2, beaten)
• Sesame oil (2 tablespoons)
• Soy sauce (3 tablespoons)
• Fresh ginger (1 tablespoon, grated)
• Garlic (2 cloves, minced)
• Onion (1 medium, chopped)
• Dried apricots (1 cup, diced)
• Cooked rice (4 cups)
• Vegetable oil (1 tablespoon (for frying))

Instructions

1. In a large skillet, heat the vegetable oil over medium heat.
2. Add the chopped onion, minced garlic, and grated ginger. Sauté for 3-4 minutes until fragrant and the onion is translucent.
3. Stir in the diced apricots and cook for an additional 2 minutes to soften them slightly.
4. Push the sautéed ingredients to one side of the skillet and pour the beaten eggs into the other side. Scramble the eggs until fully cooked, then mix them into the rice.
5. Add the cooked rice to the skillet, combining it with the sautéed ingredients and eggs. Stir well to ensure even mixing.
6. Pour in the soy sauce and sesame oil, stirring to coat the rice evenly with the flavors.
7. In a separate bowl, combine the flour and brown sugar. Add the cold butter and use your fingers to mix until the mixture resembles coarse crumbs.
8. Sprinkle the crumble mixture evenly over the fried rice.
9. Cover the skillet and cook for 5 minutes, or until the crumble is golden and crispy.
10. Garnish with sliced green onions and chopped cashews before serving.
