Steamed Ginger Rice With Snow Peas Recipes

Steps:

• Wash rice in several of changes of water until the water runs clear.
• Place rice in a 3 quart saucepan that has a tight fitting lid.
• Add water and grated ginger.
• Bring to a boil, uncovered.
• Reduce heat slightly but continue to cook uncovered until surface water disappears and holes appear in the surface of the rice.
• Cover tightly, turn heat very low and cook 20 minutes.
• Add snow peas and cover.
• Cook 2 minutes longer then remove from heat and let stand 3 to 5 minutes before serving.
• Stir gently to combine rice with snow peas.

Steps:

• Heat oil in medium heavy saucepan over low heat. Add rice and salt and cook, stirring constantly, until beginning to color, about 5 minutes. Add the onion and continue to cook until onion softens slightly. Add water, stir, cover, and cook over lowest possible heat 2025 minutes until rice is almost done. Stir in the peas, turn off the heat, and let sit covered five minutes. Fluff with a fork and serve.

Steps:

• Combine the rice with 3 1/2 cups water in a small saucepan. Bring to a rapid simmer, then lower the heat. Cover and simmer gently until the water is absorbed, 30 to 35 minutes.
• Meanwhile, microwave the sweet potatoes until just done but still nice and firm. Start with 3 minutes total, then test. A knife should go through with some resistance. If needed, microwave for another minute at a time. Once done, plunge the sweet potatoes into a bowl of cold water. Set aside until needed.
• When the rice is nearly done, peel the sweet potatoes and cut them into 1/2-inch dice.
• Heat the oil in a stir-fry pan. Add the white parts of the scallions and the garlic, and sauté over medium-low heat until just turning golden. Add the scallion greens and the sweet potatoes; turn the heat to medium-high and stir-fry for a minute or so.
• Stir in the ginger, curry powder, and turmeric, then add the rice. Turn the heat to medium-high and cook, stirring, until the ingredients are well blended. Add the peas and cook, stirring frequently, for 3 to 4 minutes.
• Season with salt, stir in the cilantro, and serve. Top each serving with some chopped nuts if desired.
• Serve with a platter of baby corn, sliced tomatoes, half-sour pickles, and sliced baked or smoked tofu. Complete the meal with steamed broccoli or Spicy Sesame Broccoli (page 197).
• If you have time to make a companion dish, I recommend Tempeh Fries with Horseradish or Wasabi-Dill Mayonnaise (page 78). Embellish the plate with sliced tomatoes, baby carrots, and bell peppers.
