Easy Asian Rice

I have been away from blog posting in so long I forgot my blog web address!  I thought I would share a rice recipe I created that has just a hint of flavor and texture to make it a little exciting and fun.  No more plain rice!  And this recipe is so easy as well.

 

Easy Asian Rice

Ingredients:

Rice (I prefer brown rice)

Ginger – fresh or frozen

Peanuts

Vegetable or Chicken broth

In your rice cooker, add the amount of rice you want to make.  Don’t forget to rinse it first.  Remember, rice is a grow-er, not a show-er so you will use less rice than you think you need.

Instead of adding the required amount of water, add vegetable or chicken broth.  The same amount that you would have used of water.  Shave some ginger into the mixture.  I have taken fresh ginger, peeled it and frozen it to make it last longer.  Then add peanuts.  As much as you want, but you don’t want to overpower the rice.  Then set your rice cooker and cook til done.  Very easy.

I like to mix the ingredients and leave it (uncooked) in the rice maker a few hours in advance of cooking it.  That way the peanuts are a tad bit softer.  But I like it either way….cooked immediately or after a few hours of “marinating”.

I love this rice recipe and it goes well with lots of different mains.  Enjoy!
