Dirty Fried Rice
- 2 tablespoons vegetable oil, divided
- 4 ounces chicken livers, rinsed, patted dry
- Kosher salt
- freshly ground pepper
- 1/2 small onion, chopped
- 1/2 celery stalk, finely chopped
- 1/2 small poblano chile, with seeds, finely chopped
- 1 garlic clove, finely chopped
- 1 tablespoons finely chopped peeled ginger
- 2 tablespoons soy sauce
- 1 tablespoons black vinegar
- 1 tablespoons hot sauce (such as Crystal)
- 1 tablespoons Thai crab or shrimp paste with bean oil
- 1/4 cup vegetable oil
- 3 large eggs, beaten to blend
- 3 cups cooled cooked jasmine rice (from 1 cup dry)
- 4 ounces large shrimp (about 6), peeled, deveined, cut into bite-size pieces
- 1 pickled jalapeno, sliced
- 2 scallions, thinly sliced
- Old Bay seasoning, MSG (optional), and chili oil (for serving)
- Heat 1 tablespoons oil in a large skillet over medium-high heat. Season chicken livers with salt and pepper and cook until browned on the outside but still pink inside, about 1 1/2 minutes per side.
- Transfer to a large plate and let cool. Pulse in a food processor to a coarse paste; set chicken liver paste aside.
- Heat remaining 1 tablespoons oil in same skillet over medium-high heat and cook onion, celery, chile, garlic, and ginger, scraping up any browned bits, until vegetables are tender, about 2 minutes.
- Add soy sauce, vinegar, hot sauce, crab paste, reserved chicken liver paste, and 1/4 cup water to skillet. Reduce heat to medium and cook, stirring occasionally, until a thick dry paste forms. (You should have about 1/2 cup.)
- Heat oil in a large wok or skillet over high heat. Cook eggs, stirring constantly, until fluffy and just set, about 1 minute. Add rice and cook, stirring often, until rice is evenly coated and beginning to brown, about 4 minutes.
- Add shrimp and chicken-liver base and stir to coat. Cook, stirring often, until shrimp is cooked through, about 2 minutes.
- Remove from heat and stir in jalapeno.
- Serve fried rice topped with scallions, Old Bay seasoning, and MSG, if using, and drizzled with chili oil.
