Ginger Jasmine Rice

Fri, 26 Jun 2009 03:41:20 -0400

Yummy, easy, addictive side dish that complements a wide variety of Asian and Fusion dishes! I use a microplane to grate my ginger, and a spoon's edge to easily [& not wastefully] peel it. -- posted by Gaia22

Nasi Goreng Tuna With Herbs

Mon, 29 Jun 2009 00:46:47 -0400

A modification of the popular Indonesian dish, but with a totally different refreshing flavour inspired by Thai and Mediterranean ingredients. It's full of fiber, antioxidants, and protein! If the traditional nasi goreng is usually served with pickles, I serve this with tomato salsa (recipe available too!). This recipe was invented as I cooked lunch for my boyfriend before a soccer match. -- posted by Ms. Kilroy

Saffron-Scented Chicken Pilaf (Pilau)

Mon, 06 Jul 2009 12:17:48 -0400

Fragrant golden pistachio-studded rice with moist and tender chunks of chicken infused with lemony yogurt and musky spices. This is a fabulous one-dish meal! My recipe is a much adapted one, from a Nigella Lawson recipe taken from one of her cookbooks. -- posted by BecR

Dolma (Stuffed Grape Leaves), Iraqi-Style

Mon, 06 Jul 2009 16:14:28 -0400

This Middle Eastern dish is a family favorite. The blend of the spices coupled with the tartness of the lemon makes it out of this world. This recipe has been passed down in my family for many years. -- posted by AngieInMichigan

Best Ever Fried Rice

Wed, 08 Jul 2009 02:00:11 -0400

This recipe comes from Cooking Light, September 2005 and is without a doubt the best fried rice I have ever tasted. Not only great tasting but very easy to make as well. I have modified the original recipe slightly to reflect our preferences for oil, meat, veggies etc. The original recipe calls for shredded lettuce as an ingredient however I have never tried it this way. I will list it as an optional ingredient. The sesame oil is the secret ingredient as far as I am concerned!! Don't be shy, give it a try!! -- posted by NanuqsMom

Fried Rice With Bacon (Oriental Style)

Sun, 12 Jul 2009 09:24:47 -0400

One of my fondest memories growing up is the reaction my best friend had about my mom's fried rice. She was so addicted to it she would randomly request that mom make some. I have been craving it lately but knowing that it needs to be done with "yesterday's" leftover rice gets me every time. (If fresh rice is used it will stick together in a mushy mess instead of separating out into individual dry pieces.) Well, as luck would have it I spaced when making rice a few nights ago & instead of loading the rice cooker with 2 cups rice & 4 cups water I put in 4 cups of both! So I added another 4 cups of water & wow... that was a lot of leftover rice! So, last night I combined what I could remember of mom's fried rice with what I had on hand & my family loved it. We ate this for a main meal but usually it's served as a side. The first bite I took really did take me back 25 years! I hope you enjoy it too! :) -- posted by **Tinkerbell**

Spicy Tuna Salad Sushi Roll

Sun, 12 Jul 2009 09:37:32 -0400

This recipe tastes very similar to the spicy tuna rolls found in Japanese restaurants, but the best part is that you use canned tuna rather than raw tuna. Don't get me wrong, I love raw tuna; I just don't feel comfortable playing with it at home. I created this recipe when I wanted sushi rolls but didn't have a lot of fresh ingredients on hand. This can also be adapted to use in an asian salad. I plan on putting up that recipe at a later time. Note: the sumeshi (the term for cooking rice in the japanese style) portion of the recipe is copied from Sushiday.com. -- posted by OwlMonkey

Chinese New Year Rice

Tue, 14 Jul 2009 01:26:31 -0400

Oriental Chicken Casserole

Tue, 14 Jul 2009 01:28:32 -0400

This recipe came from the back of an instant rice box. Its a good one if you are in a hurry to cook dinner. It tastes pretty good too. You can add things you normally like in this type of casserole and that's what makes it so versatile. Sometimes, I even add a hotter, spicy flavor to it, depending on our mood at the time. Cook time does not include time to cook zucchini. -- posted by OceanLuvinGranny

Upma Kozhakattai With Thuvaiyal - a Mouthful of Joy

Tue, 14 Jul 2009 01:51:12 -0400

This is a hurried entry to my own event. Funnily enough, I was so enamoured by the beautiful entries that people have sent in, I nearly forgot about sending my own entry. Upma Kozhakattai-now what kind of confusion is this? Upma is a mainstay breakfast in most Indian homes and Kozhakattai is something that Tamilians offer to our beloved Lord Ganesha to keep him happy. Upma Kozhakattai is none of these. This is a fine example of 'saatvic' food. Check out what 'saatvic' means here. As I write this, a doubt arises in my mind as to does food cease to be saatvic if it has chillies, even though the end result is not at all spicy. My grandma used to make this one, once in 3 months or so- making it one of my favourite tiffins. (You get the drift? The rarer it's made, the more it's liked- or as goes the saying-familiarity breeds contempt) The common fellows like Idli, Dosai, Upma used to fall in the second category. I guess grandma would soak, dry and then grind the rice to obtain the base for making this dish. In today's times, the above three steps are replaced by these three steps-a visit to the supermarket, pick up a packet of idli-rava, pay for it! Upma-Kozhakatti is steamed rice flour balls with a bit of seasoning and coconut. This is served with a lentil-coconut spicy and sour chutney. A small chunk of jaggery is sometimes kept inside these balls, so that you bite into a sweet surprise in the center. -- posted by Chef #1322226

Japanese Egg Salad - a Twist on Eggs and Mayo

Wed, 15 Jul 2009 01:39:08 -0400

Chilled, crisp salads are one of the great summer dishes, and a refreshing eat-it-anytime meal. Almost any food can be a part of an enticing salad -- vegetables, fruits, pasta, potatoes, meats, cheese, herbs. This Japanese Egg Salad showcases fluffy white rice, shrimp, hard-boiled eggs and Romaine lettuce leaves; tossed in a tangy French dressing with capers and chives. A delicious alternative to the same-old, same-old egg salad. -- posted by Feast Your Eyes!

Cheat's Quick Persian Rice (Polow)

Fri, 24 Jul 2009 12:16:53 -0400

This is a quick, short-cut version of the usual Persian Rice (Polow) recipe. Like most short-cuts, the outcome will not be as impressive as following the traditional, longer method but, if you're in a rush and want a decent quality steamed persian rice, then I recommend following this one-pot recipe. For other times when you cook for guests or have time, I recommend following the traditional longer method as stated in other recipes on this website. -- posted by Chef #1325826

Thai Vegetarian Green Curry

Fri, 24 Jul 2009 14:06:01 -0400

I adapted this delicious green curry from a recipe I found online. When I have vegetarian guests, I often make this along side recipe #19012 Thai Zucchini for a complete meal. Feel free to add the more traditional keffir lime leaves as a replacement for the lime juice if you're able to find them. Note: cooking time will be longer if your cooking real chicken. -- posted by OwlMonkey

Easy, Light Coconut Rice

Thu, 06 Aug 2009 11:25:20 -0400

This recipe is so fragrant and creamy, nobody can guess that it uses chicken stock to reduce fat/calories without reducing flavor. It is mild enough to be paired with any dish yet tasty enough to be eaten on its own. You could use jasmine rice instead if you prefer. -- posted by lilsweetie

Favorite Pork Fried Rice

Mon, 14 Sep 2009 17:49:46 -0400

Needed a recipe to use up my leftover Recipe #238438, and I ended up creating my DH's new favorite meal. He likes to add Thai chili sauce (called Sriracha), but I like mine without. We prefer our fried rice without eggs, but you could certainly scramble a couple in the corner of the pan at the end of cooking and then mix it in to the rice. -- posted by KissKiss

Japanese Salmon and Avocado Rice

Asian Peanuts and Rice

Mon, 21 Sep 2009 00:56:38 -0400

This recipe is something I made up when I accidentally purchased raw peanuts. It's quite healthy, and can be vegetarian/vegan if you skip the oyster sauce. You can change the vegetables if you like, or use any type of rice or even grain like quinoa. I prefer short grain brown rice for this dish. If you want to increase protein, add some firm tofu, or maybe even lentils. -- posted by Chef #1387539

Vegetarian Kharcho (Spicy Georgian Soup)

Tue, 22 Sep 2009 12:43:16 -0400

This is a spicy, hearty Georgian soup. It is traditionally made with meat, but I adapted a vegetarian version from a Georgian cookbook. It calls for the khmeli-suneli spice mix, of which there are as many varieties as there are cooks who make it themselves. The khmeli-suneli spice mix is available from Russian food stores, or can be mixed to your own taste.

Easy One Pot Lentils and Rice

Wed, 07 Oct 2009 11:49:39 -0400

I made this for dinner tonight, and the whole family loved it. I make lentils and rice quite often in a million and one different ways, and never with a recipe, but decided to post this one for safe keeping so that I can make it this way again. I served this as a rice ring (with easy glazed carrots and raisins in the middle). I had no onions on hand, but this would be excellent with carmelized onions on top. You may need to use a little more or less water depending on the age of your lentils. I used 6 1/2 cups, and it was perfect. I hope you enjoy this as much as we did! -- posted by Chef #1082457

Gluten-Free Japanese Curry

My husband said its better than the packaged stuff! -- posted by FlamingoSushi

Shrimp and Egg Fried Rice With Napa Cabbage - Tyler Florence

Mon, 12 Oct 2009 14:00:29 -0400

This is soooo good! I have made this 3 or 4 times now, so have adjusted it to our liking. I use 1 lb. of shrimp instead of the 1/2 lb, and green onion instead of the shallots. You can use green cabbage or Bok Choy instead of the Napa cabbage if you can't find it. Use your imagination, I have added diced red pepper, bean sprouts (at the end for some crunch.) If snap peas or snow peas are in season, I use them instead of the peas. I think some chopped cashews on top instead of the peanuts would be good as well. This is from Food Network, Tyler Florence. Hope you enjoy! -- posted by Scoutie

Kateh - Iranian Simple Rice

I think this way of making rice comes from the North of Iran. I prefer this to the more classic polow as it's less work to do and it's faster.My husband has a very interesting way to check if the rice it's done:he spits a little on his finger and places the saliva on the pan.

Rice Porridge (Congee) With Century Egg and Pork (Or Chicken)

Mon, 19 Oct 2009 15:08:33 -0400

I grew up eating a Filipino version of Congee called "Arroz Caldo". My grandmother would have lots of dark chicken meat in it and huge chunks of ginger that I would end up biting into (not fun when you're 7 years old). Since then my own kids have developed a love for the traditional Chinese-style congee (also called rice soup) they serve in restaurants, especially during cold Autumn and Winter days. Some people may be uneasy about using the 'century duck egg' (or 'thousand year old egg' is really just as egg that is preserved in salt, ash and lime) but don't judge it in it's unpeeled, chopped up state - added to the congee, it really adds a yummy complexity to this dish, even my 2yo daughter loves it. This recipe is for you if you want a warm, hearty, simple and economical meal. Enjoy! (note: I use leftover shredded chicken or pork but you can poach your own prior to making recipe, and use the ground white pepper - it really makes a difference!) -- posted by mlao77

This is a popular dish in North India, and is quick, easy and fuss free. Everyone has their own way of doing it, and this is the way i do it. When i am exhausted and too tired to do much else, i make this dish. Other people use a lesser amont of lentil to rice, but i use a 50/50 cos thats the way my husband likes it, moist.

I went to the Indian grocery and picked up some nice staples, and whipped this up because it was cheap and simple.

Left over (Leftover) Fried Rice Latkes or Pancakes

Tue, 29 Dec 2009 02:09:12 -0500

I had a lot of fried rice left over from a big Chinese feast I made and needed to change things up a little. I made these little pancakes and the family loved them. They are nice and crispy on the outside and soft on the inside. We dipped them in duck sauce but I'm sure dumpling sauce, mustard or any combination of your favorite would be great. They are yummy by themselves too. These could also be good hors'd' oeuvres as they are passable as finger food. My serving size may be off since I didn't really count how many I got and I made 2 + batches anyway. This easily doubles if you happen to have more left over. You can use 1 egg for 1-2 cups of rice. The point is just to get it to all stick together. -- posted by Ilysse

Fried Fish With Rice (Kuwaiti & Emratie)

Tue, 29 Dec 2009 14:20:44 -0500

Fish with rice is often served in homes in the Arabian Gulf. Kuwaitis in particular love their Zubadi (Silver Pomfret) fish that is local to them but can be found in the frozen section of many Middle Eastern & Asian shops. (You may have to degut them yourself). While some prefer to eat them dry with rice, others like ourselves, make Recipe #387327 to serve as an accompaniment. This recipe is a very tasty combination from three sources which all deserve credit, Sa-mak ma-ga-lee - Fried Fish from From "The Complete United Arab Emirates Cookbook", by Celia Ann Brock- Al Ansari, Mtabag Simach from "Cardamom and Lime: Recipes from the Arabian Gulf", by Sarah Al-Hamad, and http://mimisrecipes.blogspot.com. -- posted by UmmBinat

Hung's Clay Pot Rice

Wed, 06 Jan 2010 21:04:44 -0500

Recipe by Hung Huynh, a student at the Culinary Institute of America in Hyde Park, New York was a Top Chef winner. Hung Huynh learned to cook with the Chinese trinity - GGS = ginger, garlic and scallions. He uses all three here to flavor this earthy, mushroom-and-bacon-studded clay pot (without the clay pot) rice.;) It was fun trying this type of rice in the dining room and seeing the people's reactions - they either loved it or weren't convinced by it.From: Top Chef Winner's Tips, Hung Huynh - publlished 02/2008 edition of F&W Magazine.There is an hour soaking time for the raw rice.It makes a nice side for chicken or fish - we tried it with chicken tenders (lightly seasoned and done on the grill) and sweet peas.:) -- posted by Manami

Spiced Pilau Brown Rice

Fri, 08 Jan 2010 11:08:37 -0500

The turmeric adds a wonderful golden color to this healthy brown rice dish. The spices add lovely flavor and although you don't eat the leaves, cardamom pods or cinnamon stick, leaving them in makes the dish look very authentic and pretty. A Jamie Oliver recipe. -- posted by English_Rose

Fragrant East Indian Basmati Rice

Tue, 12 Jan 2010 17:33:59 -0500

This is my recipe for the perfect side-dish of any Indian cuisine entree... it can be prepared two ways -- as a white rice which is better for dishes with sauces, such as chicken tikka masala -- or as a curry-seasoned yellow rice, which serves well all on its own. I've left plenty of room here for creativity, as I feel everyone is their own best chef! This rice is delicious to begin with -- you couldn't possibly go wrong! -- posted by Bazaar®

Basil Beef Fried Rice

This recipe is from a local Thai cooking class I took. The instructor tried to adapt the traditional recipe to use locally-available ingredients. This is delicious - different than any other fried rice we've had before. The Thai basil (I found it in an Asian grocery store in the city) really makes a difference. -- posted by flowers22

Five-Jewel-Rice-Stuffed Chicken Breast With Hot Sour Sauce

Fri, 15 Jan 2010 07:33:00 -0500

Here, the editors chose to feature a Chinese-inspired stuffed chicken breast, incorporating short-grain rice, like arborio -- which allows the stuffing to stay put. The five "jewels" of the stuffing are the rice itself, almonds, water chestnuts, scallions & garlic -- none of which requires a trip to a specialty market.;) Garnishing with sesame seeds is entirely optional (white and black) however, it makes a beautiful presence.

Lebanese Rice With Sharia (Vermicelli) (Gluten Free)

Tue, 19 Jan 2010 15:42:38 -0500

This is similar to the rice served at our local shawarma restaurant without the gluten noodles. This is a rice that can be dolled up replacing the water with some kind of broth, adding onion fried until transparent in butter after cooked or even adding a hand full of pine nuts all depending on what you are serving it with but plain it is excellent with chicken cooked with Recipe #44858. -- posted by UmmBinat

Sliced Fish With Chinese Broccoli on White Rice

Tue, 19 Jan 2010 17:16:15 -0500

One of my favorite Chinese dishes at a restaurant in New York Citys Chinatown, is their Sliced Fish and Chinese Broccoli over rice. You can also order this dish with American broccoli, tofu or string beans. It is not a very expensive fish dish and has tasty soy sauce flavorand just right for one person. In this simple-to-make recipe I have added some ginger and serving for two people. Here is my take on this wholesome fish dish. -- posted by Skipper/Sy

Ginger Fried Rice

Thu, 28 Jan 2010 16:05:05 -0500

This looked awfully good, simple, almost perfect! I made this last night and my BF and I were very pleased with the outcome. If possible, use leftover rice as fresh rice will be too moist. Leftover rice from Chinese takeout works well too. After making the dish the amount of garlic didn't seem excessive to me, but use your judgment. Courtesy of Mark Bittman, the minimalist, from today's version of the New York Times. I reduced the oil as it seemed excessive. Use 1/2 cup if you'd prefer. For a vegan dish, omit the eggs.

Uyghur Polo (Pilaf)

Fri, 05 Feb 2010 08:53:02 -0500

Polo (a Central Asian variant on the word pilaf) is a food staple found across Central Asia, including Kazakhstan, Kyrgyzstan, Uzbekistan, Turkmenistan, Tajikistan, and parts of northwestern China. The different peoples of each region have their own takes, and their own flavors, for the recipe. This recipe is for Uyghur polo, the variant of the dish found in China's Xinjiang Uyghur Autonomous Region. Uyghur food is on the whole closer in taste to Indian, Persian, or Mediterranean food than it is to conventional Chinese food. I credit this recipe to my Uyghur language instructor. The recipe can be a challenge to cook correctly at first, but the challenge will prove well worth the effort because it is absolutely delicious. -- posted by mpevans
