Oriental Rice Chicken Helper Recipes

Steps:

• In a bowl, stir together warm water, brown sugar, orange juice, soy sauce, ketchup, white vinegar, garlic, red pepper flakes, five-spice powder, and orange peel until the sugar has dissolved and the mixture is well combined.
• Heat the olive oil in a large skillet or wok over medium heat, and cook and stir the chicken until the outside is golden brown and the inside is no longer pink, 10 to 12 minutes. Pour the sauce mixture over the chicken, bring to a boil, reduce heat to medium-low, and cover the skillet. Simmer for 30 minutes, stirring occasionally.
• While the chicken and sauce are simmering, bring the rice and water to a boil in a saucepan over high heat. Reduce heat to medium-low, cover, and simmer until the rice is tender, and the liquid has been absorbed, 20 to 25 minutes. Set the rice aside and keep warm.
• Whisk the cornstarch and 2 tablespoons of cold water in a small bowl until smooth, and stir into the chicken and sauce, a few teaspoons at a time. Let the chicken and sauce cook for about 2 minutes to thicken, then serve over hot cooked rice, sprinkled with green onion.

Steps:

• Brown ground beef, drain if needed.
• Add rice, soy sauce, garlic powder, onion powder, black pepper,onion soup mix and water.
• Cook on low heat for approximately 20-30 minutes or until rice is done and water is gone.

• Cook on low for 18 minutes or cook until carrots are almost tender.
• Raise temperature to medium, stir in chicken, water chestnuts, and edamame; cook for 5 minutes or until most of the liquid has evaporated.

• Cook 10 minutes or until tender.
• Reduce heat and stir in 1 can of diced tomatoes and ground chicken.

Steps:

• Marinate chicken thighs in the dark soy sauce for at least 1 hour.
• Heat oil in a large frying pan over medium heat. Add in garlic and ginger. Saute long enough to allow the ginger and garlic to release their aroma.
• Add in the chicken and saute until golden brown.
• Add in green onions, chicken broth, oyster sauce, rice wine, light soy sauce and Splenda.
• Stir well.
• Once the sauce starts to boil, about 3-5 minutes, mix in the cornstarch to thicken the sauce.
• Serve and enjoy.

Steps:

• Brown ground beef or turkey. Drain fat if needed.
• Add water, soy sauce, onion, garlic, rice, pepper and soup mix.
• Bring to a boil. After a boil has been reached, cover and reduce heat to low.
• Cook on low for 20 minutes. Uncover, stir and allow to cool for 5 minutes before serving.
• Add vegetables during last 5 minutes of cooking time.

Steps:

• Tip 1: Be sure to use extra lean ground beef (or chicken) so that there won't be any fat to drain. If you drain off any fat, you'll also drain off seasonings.
• Tip 2: The rice you choose is very important to the authentic flavor of the original, but you can substitute brown rice or Jasmine rice. Just be sure to thoroughly rinse the rice and adjust the water and cooking time according to the rice you choose. My recipe is specifically written for Uncle Ben's Original long grain white rice. Do not use Minute Rice or instant rice, as it will be mushy.
• Tip 3: This recipe is very high in sodium, so you can substitute low sodium ingredients, but it won't taste the same. This may not be a good recipe for a person who is on a low sodium diet.
• In a large skillet, add ground beef, chopped onion, onion powder, garlic powder, and seasoning salt. Cook until onions are soft and meat is browned. Do not drain.
• Add all remaining ingredients to the skillet and cook in medium-high heat until the mixture starts to boil. Turn heat down to low, cover with a tight fitting lid, and simmer for 15 minutes. No peeking! If any water remains, uncover and cook a minute or two more, and then turn off the heat. DO NOT OVERCOOK or the rice will turn mushy.
• Let the skillet rest for 5 minutes to absorb remaining moisture. Stir and serve.
• Tip 4: Dress it up! I like to add a can of chow mein veggies, a can of sliced water chestnuts, and a can of sliced mushrooms. These veggies are fully cooked during the canning process, and you don't want them to get mushy, so add them at the very end of the cook time, before the resting period. Stir them in and let it rest.
• Tip 5: Top it off! Sprinkle with sliced green onions, or cashews, or slivered almonds, or sesame seeds, for a little extra crunch and flavor.

Steps:

• In 2-quart saucepan, place uncooked rice and seasoning mix (from Asian Helper box); stir in broth. Heat to boiling; reduce heat to medium-low. Cover; cook 15 to 18 minutes, stirring once, until rice is tender.
• Meanwhile, reserve tops of 2 of the green onions; slice remaining onions. In large resealable food-storage plastic bag, mix flour, allspice and garlic powder. Add chicken to bag; seal and shake to coat chicken with spices. In 10-inch nonstick skillet, heat oil over medium-high heat. Cook chicken and sliced onions in oil 3 to 4 minutes, turning chicken once, until no longer pink in center. Add pineapple and cooked rice to skillet with chicken. Cook and stir 1 minute or until pineapple is hot.
• Slice reserved green onion tops diagonally into 1-inch pieces; sprinkle over chicken mixture.
