Rice Partially Cooked With Ham And Cabbage Recipes

Steps:

• Melt butter in a large skillet over medium-high heat. Add ham and onion; cook, stirring occasionally, until onion is translucent, about 8 minutes. Add garlic and cook until fragrant, about 2 minutes.
• Add cabbage; cook and stir for 5 minutes. Add broth and season with salt and pepper. Cover and cook for 8 minutes.
• Uncover and continue to cook until cabbage is tender, about 5 more minutes.

Steps:

• Preheat the oven to 350 degrees F (175 degrees C). Butter a 9x13-inch baking dish.
• Spread out chopped ham on the bottom of the prepared dish.
• Set hash browns on a microwave-safe plate and microwave on high power for 1 minute and 30 seconds. Potatoes should be thawed and feel slightly warm to the touch, but not be cooked. Set aside.
• Melt 2 tablespoons butter in a large skillet over medium heat and cook onions until they are just starting to turn clear, 2 to 3 minutes. Add chopped cabbage and continue to cook, stirring often, until cabbage wilts down a little but is still crisp, 3 to 5 minutes. Stir in shredded raw carrots and microwaved hash browns, then add mixture to the baking dish.
• Wipe out the skillet and melt the remaining 3 tablespoons butter over medium heat. Combine all-purpose flour, salt, dry mustard, and white pepper in a small bowl. Sprinkle flour and seasonings over the melted butter and stir, constantly, until flour and butter are well mixed and the mixture is bubbly, about 3 minutes. Allow to bubble for 1 minute, while stirring.
• Gradually pour in milk, stirring constantly to avoid lumps. Cook, stirring, until the mixture boils and thickens, 3 to 5 minutes. If the mixture is too thick, stir in an additional 3 to 4 tablespoons milk. Remove from heat.
• Add half of the grated Cheddar cheese and stir until it is melted, then add the remaining half and repeat.
• Pour sauce over the casserole and top with crumbled bacon and cracker crumbs.
• Bake in the preheated oven until the top is bubbly and brown, 30 to 35 minutes. Serve warm.

Steps:

• In a large saucepan, combine the soup and 1/2 cup cheese; cook and stir until cheese is melted. Stir in the vegetables, rice and ham., Transfer to a greased 1-1/2-qt. baking dish. Sprinkle with remaining cheese. Bake, uncovered, at 350° for 25-30 minutes or until heated through.

Steps:

• 1. Cook Minute Rice according to package instructions. One cup will make 2 cups cooked. Cook cabbage until tender, drain
• 2. Grease 9 x 13 inch casserole. Put rice in bottom and spread it out. Put cooked cabbage on top of rice and evenly distribute it.
• 3. In a bowl combine 2 tablespoons of the butter and the bread crumbs and set aside. I use sliced bread that is getting stale and tear it up into small pieces rather than the fine bread crumbs.
• 4. In a frying pan cook onions in remaining butter and olive oil until soft. Stir in flour, salt and pepper stirring constantly. It will quickly form a paste like product on the onions. Stir in the milk and continue cooking and stirring until mixture thickens and boils for 1 minute. Add ham and heat 1 minute more.
• 5. Pour over the top of the cabbage and spread it out evenly. Cover with the swiss cheese. Top with the bread crumbs and bake at 350° for 30 - 45 minutes until it is bubbly and the bread is starting to brown a bit.

Steps:

• TOPPING:Coarsely chop ham together with cabbage. RICE:1. Wash rice thoroughly (see HOW-TO, _Rice: To wash), then spread evenly along the bottom of a saucepan. 2. Add the desired quantity of cold water for each cup of rice. (Let rice and water sit covered in pan for 30 minutes before cooking. This softens the rice, but can be omitted.) 3. Bring rice to a boil over 3/4 flame. Boil covered 3 minutes. Reduce flame to 1/2. Boil 2 minutes more, or until most of the liquid is absorbed. (At this point, before the water is completely absorbed, some cooks stir the rice gently from the bottom up so that it will cook more evenly and have less tendency to burn on the bottom. If some rice sticks to the sides of the pot during this stirring, just scrape it down.) 4. Arrange topping mixture over rice then sprinkle with oil and salt. Cook, covered, over low heat until rice is done (15 to 20 minutes). Let stand, covered, 10 to 15 minutes more then serve. NOTE: The topping is cooked as the rice itself steams. Both rice and topping may be stirred together after, but not during, cooking. The rice will stick to the bottom of the pan if stirred too soon.The Thousand Recipe Chinese Cookbook. ©1994 by Gloria Bley Miller.
