Fantastic! Now you have a happy wok! Good idea on using the Curry Powder on fried rice. In Malaysia, we use curry powder in Pineapple fried rice. The flavors just work beautifully. I have a recipe here if you like to give this combo a try too: http://blog.seasonwithspice.com/2012/02/malaysian-thai-fried-rice-recipe.html

The chicken marinade is a great idea! I made this again last night, but cubed the chicken very small. I used different vegetables - keeping the corn and broccoli -adding sweet onion and mushrooms. Instead of the Japanese Seven Spice, I used Sweet and Spicy Curry Powder. I have one serving of that left for tonight - I'll stir fry baby bok choy and scallions to add to it. Really putting my Le Creuset wok to use now!

You can marinade the chicken pieces with some toasted sesame oil/ rice wine/ salt & pepper to prevent it from drying. Cook it first then set aside before you add it into the fried rice. Another way to do it is to use leftover cooked chicken (whether it's slow-cooked, oven-baked or poached). Thinly shred the chicken pieces and add them in later for the fried rice. Fried rice is all about leftover anyway. Good point on the addition of corn. You will find sweet corn being used in many classic fried rice recipes. It works well to lend sweetness especially for a veggie-based fried rice. Yeah, you can definitely use the Japanese Seven Spice as a dressing for ramen noodles. i just had that for dinner last night!

Made this tonight. I used thinly sliced chicken breast instead of tofu. My son loved it. I don't really like chicken breast-aside from that I loved the flavor of this. Next time I will use tofu. Another option would be ground chicken. The meat was just to dry. I thought the corn was an odd ingredient, but it provided a nice contrast to the spiciness. I would use Japanese Seven Spice in the Ramen Noodle recipe if I were out of Spicy Korean Chili Seasoning.

I like this shichimi togarashi recipe.
If you're looking for a shichimi togarashi source- I just received RawSpiceBar's freshly ground shichimi togarashi in a small batch and it was fantastic. Highly recommend

I just put a container of rice in the fridge that was leftover from some takeout Thai food. Perfect timing! I love making fried rice for lunch because it's so fast and easy and always good! I'm sure this one is no exception. Great recipe! Jumping jacks in the office? Girl, you are cold! Wish I could send you some spicy chile soup to help warm you up!
