Korean Rice Bowl

Sun, 05 Apr 2009 02:01:54 -0400

This dinner for four only costs a little more than $10.00 to make and diners will welcome the Asian-inspired flavours that change it from an everyday casserole. Prepare pork and cabbage up to a day in advance and use leftover rice to cut back on prep time for a fast week-night meal. -- posted by Chef mariajane

Thai Stir-Fry Chicken and Vegetables

Mon, 06 Apr 2009 02:12:41 -0400

I adapted this recipe from one I found in a magazine. I lived in Thailand for 5 years and it uses all the ingredients I think of when I think of Thai food. I use a lot of chili flakes, so it ends up very spicy, so cut it down by at least half if you prefer it milder. It serves 2 hungry people or 4 if you like smaller portions. Serve over steamed Jasmine rice. -- posted by Jo in Singapore

Khichdi

Mon, 13 Apr 2009 17:33:02 -0400

This is a main dish made of rice and pulses. This is Indian in origin and cooks fast and tastes great. Good to go with home made tomato chutney or mint chutney. I use India Gate rice as the grains are long. I use rice cooker to cook. A closed vessel or a pressure cooker can be used too. -- posted by Sara Kareem

Timman (Kuwaiti or Iraqi Rice)

Thu, 16 Apr 2009 01:53:59 -0400

Produces a light fluffy, tasty grain. I always use chicken or beef stock depending what I am serving it with. May be made yellow by adding 1/2 tsp turmeric. Enjoy this with Recipe #365961, Recipe #363669, Recipe #11761 or other stews, kabobs, etc. -- posted by UmmBinat

Vegetable & Apple Balti

Fri, 24 Apr 2009 10:17:33 -0400

A simple vegetarian Balti with a dash of apple I made up in the supermarket. Very tasty and moderately spicy. Made using 'Pataks Balti curry paste - tomato & coriander' which is made in the UK. It tastes so good I have to share it (first recipe on here). So many times things like this don't work for me - this time it did. (there is another vegetable Balti on here which looks good too) -- posted by wfdtamar

Chicken, Cashews and Red Pepper Stir-Fry

Tue, 28 Apr 2009 01:28:24 -0400

This dish balances salty, sweet, tangy and spicy ingredients. It is truly wonderful! :) Recipe is from Barbara Lauterbach, Cooking Light Magazine, April 2009 edition. She suggests that it be served alongside a quick rice pilaf. Cook a 10 oz package frozen white rice (such as Birds Eye SteamFresh) according to package directions. We had rice already made since there is white rice always around!! Combine cooked rice, 2 Tablespoons drained chopped water chestnuts, 1/2 teaspoon crushed red pepper flakes, 1/4 teaspoon salt (or perhaps one of Mrs Dash's 13 choices) and 1/4 teaspoon freshly ground black pepper and a sprinkling of chopped green onions. Make sure you have it all chopped and ready so that cooking it will be a breeze. ;) -- posted by Manami

Mock Thai Curry

Mon, 04 May 2009 14:26:54 -0400

This is an adaptation of the hearty and flavorful Thai recipe. It is slightly sweet, slightly spicy, and fills your home with a mouthwatering aroma that can only be beat by its incredible flavor. I altered the recipe because many of the authentic ingredients (lemongrass, galangal, tamarind, palm sugar, etc.) are not available in my area. You should be able to find all the ingredients in this recipe at Super Wal-Mart or a well-stocked supermarket. I have entered this as a vegetarian dish, but you can substitute any protein you like for the chick peas. I hope you enjoy it as much as I do! -- posted by Amy2838

Super Simple, Super Quick Chicken Curry and Rice

Fri, 08 May 2009 11:18:52 -0400

I had never made curry before but decided to give it a shot. I would call this recipe a medium-hot dish. I put in quite a bit of curry, but there is a lot of rice and chicken for it to cover. This recipe is for 1 person, but can be easily multiplied. If you use chicken stock for this recipe do not use the chicken base -- posted by Morrison

Lamb and Okra (Bamyeh) over Rice

Thu, 28 May 2009 23:20:14 -0400

I learned to cook from Palestinians, but I have altered methods. I learned to cook the meat in this recipe by searing/browning it on all sides in a pan. I changed that method to make the meat more tender and to create a meat stock to add to the stew for depth of flavor. You can make this with lamb or beef. Middle Eastern cultural preference is lamb but beef can be easily substituted (and using my method to cook it, nobody will know the difference). Time saving tip: if you plan to use lamb, most commercial butchers are happy to remove the meat from the bone, remove the fat, and sometimes even cube the meat for you. But you have to ask for it! Smaller/shorter okra are strongly preferred. Bud-like okra can be found frozen in most Middle Eastern or Indian grocery stores. Alternate idea for okra: omit the meat from this recipe to make a hearty snack to eat on pitas! -- posted by Ayah Elisabeth

Crab Fried Rice

Mon, 08 Jun 2009 01:52:29 -0400

Excellent fragrant dish. Beautiful with my prawn and mussel curry. I've only ever made it with the white meat from a freshly cooked crab, but it might be OK with tinned white meat. Garnish with sliced cucumber and lime slices to serve, if desired. -- posted by Snowbunny Andorra

Sticky Rice Wrapped in Bamboo Leaves (Joong or Zhongzi)

Sun, 14 Jun 2009 21:49:52 -0400

A soy-free version of the Chinese Sticky Rice dumplings wrapped in bamboo leaves, known as Joong, or Zhongzi that are traditionally eaten in late Spring for the Dragonboat Festival. You can buy them at Asian supermarkets (like T&T here), and my husband's family makes them, but they all have ingredients my son can't have. Usually these have dried shrimp or scallop, mushrooms, nuts, soy sauce, 5-spice powder, chinese sausage and egg, but yummy as they are, these all make my son itchy, so I improvised! Special thanks to W.K. Leung for his pictorial description here: http://forums.egullet.org/index.php?showtopic=88644 You may want to see the pictures of the various packages he uses. If you don't need to avoid all those ingredients, you'll probably want to follow his recipe, as this one is a little bland (shhh, don't tell my son...) Wrapping the dumplings is tricky - I had to watch a few different videos, and even then, my first one took about 20 minutes! Eventually I figured it out. My best ones ended up as somewhat rectangular pyramids, rather than the tetrahedrons I usually see. This is a fairly time-consuming project, most families make it a group activity! Preparation time below is for one person doing it all herself for the first time, with a little "help" from my little man, and does not include overnight soaking time. -- posted by vancouverlori

Roasted Vegetables in Orange Teriyaki Sauce

Thu, 18 Jun 2009 01:11:49 -0400

This is very tasty. It comes from a cookbook called "On Rice" and I fell in love with it the first time I made it. Definitely use a low-sodium soy sauce unless you love salt! If you choose to bake the rice using the Perfect Brown Rice recipe, cook the rice for 30 minutes and then for the final 30 minutes add your pan of veggies to roast and everything will come out at the same time. -- posted by Ms*Bindy

Kimchi Fried Rice

Sat, 20 Jun 2009 02:14:05 -0400

I have been making this dish for years and me and my family never get tired of it! Be sure to use very-well marinated kimchi instead of the kimchi that are newly-made. However, if that's all you have, this dish will still turn out to be good (: Also, the butter might be a lot, but it prevents the rice to stick to the bottom of the pan. You may use oil instead of butter if you wish. -- posted by ringokei

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

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

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. One recipe of this mix is <a href="http://www.recipezaar.com/Khmeli-Suneli-Spice-Mix-from-Georgia-289998">Khmeli-suneli spice mix from Georgia</a>. -- posted by Anya

This Pakistani side dish is superb, it goes great with pretty much anything and is easily enjoyed by itself too. Serve with some yogurt or achar and it's great! It may look a little overwhelming to make but it's actually quite easy. -- posted by dumbell579

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

Wed, 07 Oct 2009 14:16:13 -0400

I LOVE Japanese Curry. It is a dish I have grown up with and my grandma used to make weekly. Since my children were diagnosed as Celiac they can not have the packaged curry sauce as one of the main ingredients is wheat. I made this recipe and it turned out really yummy! Thumbs up all around! 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

Mon, 12 Oct 2009 17:45:23 -0400

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. If the spit sizzles the rice is done! -- posted by littlemafia

Ginger Garlic Pork With Sizzling Rice

Mon, 19 Oct 2009 13:11:58 -0400

Recipe by Guy Fieri - looked very interesting and we tried it and I have to thank FoodNetwork Channel for having someone like Guy Fieri! I love to watch his programs about the drive-ins etc & I also enjoy watching his antics in the kitchen!!! Show: Guy's Big Bite Episode: Perfect Pork fo' Sizzle (Food Network). Recipe doesn't include cooling times and neither does it have the correct category for jasmine rice - I didn't say it was long grain rice!!!! -- posted by Manami

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

One Pot Vegan/Vegetarian Rice and Lentils Dish - Khichdi

Thu, 29 Oct 2009 10:29:26 -0400

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. Some people prefer it drier. The choice is yours. You can also vary the type of rice and split lentil you use, but then cooking times will vary. -- posted by Sudika

Basmati Cumin Lentil Rice

Sun, 15 Nov 2009 13:19:28 -0500

I went to the Indian grocery and picked up some nice staples, and whipped this up because it was cheap and simple. You can make this vegan by using oil instead of butter, but I like the richer flavor the butter gives in this dish. Makes a wonderful side dish to curried vegetables as well as meat dishes and curries for our meat lovers. -- posted by the80srule

Spiced Sirloin Rice (Teta Rice)

Mon, 16 Nov 2009 00:32:49 -0500

My Grandmother (Teta) made this dish as an accompaniment to Chicken, Pork, or Lamb dishes. My son will make a meal out of it on its own. The yogurt and pine nuts really enhance the flavour, but are optional. To truly enjoy this I would not recommend using ground beef. It also very easily reheats and can be frozen as well. -- posted by King Lu

I had a next-door neighbor who gave the original recipe to my mom. I modified it slightly by adding Ah-So sauce to the pork. It's delicious and fairly simple. I highly recommend preparing it a day in advance so that the hoisin sauce has enough time to mellow out. -- posted by Chrissy Sweettooth
