This colorful one-bowl, one-skillet meal is packed with satisfying Asian flavors. Jasmine rice is a fragrant long-grain rice, popular in Thai cuisine. The grains become slightly sticky when cooked and the flavor is subtly sweet. Pickled ginger (fresh ginger preserved in sweet vinegar) is used in many Asian dishes and is sometimes served as a condiment. You can find jasmine rice and jars of aromatic pickled ginger in Asian markets and most supermarkets. To save time, purchase precut matchstick carrots from the produce section of the supermarket. They’re available in a 10-ounce bag. You could substitute frozen shelled edamame for the green peas, if you like.
