Vegetarian fried brown rice recipe - How to make Vegetarian fried brown rice

 
The Rice Recipes kitchen (The home of delicious Rice Recipes) invites you to try Vegetarian fried brown rice recipe. Enjoy quick & easy rice cooking recipes and learn how to make Vegetarian fried brown rice. 

Ingredients (serves 4)

2 eggs
2 teaspoons vegetable oil
1 onion, finely chopped
2 garlic cloves, crushed
1 red chilli, finely chopped
1 large head broccoli, florets removed
1 large carrot, halved, thinly sliced
150g green beans, roughly chopped
2 cups brown basmati rice, cooked
2 tablespoons reduced-salt soy sauce or tamari (see note)

Method

Beat eggs with a fork until small bubbles appear. Heat a wok over medium-high heat until hot. Add 1 teaspoon of oil. Add eggs and swirl around wok to form a thin omelette. Cook for 1 minute. Turn and cook a further minute. Remove to a board. Thinly slice.

Add remaining oil, onion, garlic and chilli to wok. Stir-fry for 2 minutes. Increase heat to high. Add broccoli, carrot and beans. Stir-fry for 4 minutes, or until tender and crisp.

Add rice and soy sauce or tamari to wok. Stir-fry for 3 minutes, or until heated through. Add egg and stir to combine. Serve immediately.

Notes

Tamari is naturally femented soy sauce which contains a small amount of wheat. Look for it near the health food in the supermarket.

Hint: Cook rice then refrigerate for 4 hours before stir-frying. This will keep the grains from becoming gluggy.

Cook Time: 25 min | Level: Easy | Yield: 4 to 6 servings

Ingredients

1 tablespoon extra-virgin olive oil
2 tablespoons butter
1 large onion, 1/4 onion finely chopped, 3/4 thinly sliced
2 cups quick cooking brown rice
4 cups chicken stock
2 tablespoons vegetable oil
2 pounds chicken meat: tenders, boneless, skinless breasts or boneless, skinless thighs, cut into 2-inch pieces
2 tablespoons grill seasoning blend (recommended: Montreal Steak Seasoning blend by McCormick)
2 to 3 tablespoons tamari dark soy sauce, eyeball it
4 cloves garlic, chopped
1 red bell pepper, seeded and thinly sliced
10 to 12 water chestnuts, whole
1 cup frozen green peas
3 tablespoons chipotle in adobo (2 peppers and their sauce), available in cans on the international foods aisle or substitute 1 1/2 tablespoons ground chipotle powder
1 tablespoon ground cumin, a palm full
2 to 3 tablespoons honey, 2 healthy drizzles
1/4 to 1/3 cup real maple syrup, eyeball it
2 to 3 tablespoons chopped cilantro or parsley leaves, your preference

Brown the chicken on both sides, season with soy sauce then move off to one side of the pan. Add the remaining onions, garlic and peppers. Cook 2 to 3 minutes then add water chest nuts and green peas and mix vegetables and meat together. Add the chipotles and cumin. Toss to coat. Glaze the mixture with honey and maple syrup and turn off the heat. Add in the chopped cilantro or parsley and the cashew nuts.

Grilled Corn Salad with Black Beans & Rice


Ingredients

2/3 cup short-grain brown rice
1 15-ounce can black beans, rinsed
3 large ears corn, husked
2 medium red onions, cut into 3/8-inch-thick slices
1 green bell pepper, cored and quartered lengthwise
1 small ripe avocado
1/2 cup hot tomato salsa, preferably chipotle
1/2 cup orange juice
1/3 cup lime juice
3 tablespoons chopped fresh cilantro
1 tablespoon canola oil
3/4 teaspoon ground cumin
Salt & freshly ground pepper, to taste
Baked tortilla chips, (optional)

Preparation
1. Cook rice in a large pot of boiling salted water, until al dente, 25 to 30 minutes. Drain and rinse. Place in a large bowl, toss with beans and set aside.

2. Meanwhile, preheat grill.

3. Oil the grill rack (see Tip). Grill corn, onions and bell pepper, turning frequently, until tender and charred, 10 to 12 minutes.

4. Cut kernels from cobs (see Tip) and add to reserved rice and beans. Dice the bell pepper and half the onions; add to the rice mixture. Place the remaining onions in a mixing bowl. Peel and dice avocado; add half to rice mixture and half to the bowl with sliced onions.

5. Whisk salsa, orange juice, lime juice, cilantro, oil and cumin in a small bowl. Season with salt and pepper. Toss 3 tablespoons of the salsa mixture with sliced onions and avocado. Toss the rest with rice mixture.

6. Spoon rice mixture onto a serving dish and top with onion-avocado mixture. Serve with chips, if desired.

Tips & Notes
To oil the grill rack: Oil a folded paper towel, hold it with tongs and rub it over the rack. (Do not use cooking spray on a hot grill.) When grilling delicate foods like tofu and fish, it is helpful to spray the food with cooking spray.

To remove corn kernels from the cob: Stand an uncooked ear of corn on its stem end in a shallow bowl and slice the kernels off with a sharp, thin-bladed knife. This technique produces whole kernels that are good for adding to salads and salsas. If you want to use the corn kernels for soups, fritters or puddings, you can add another step to the process. After cutting the kernels off, reverse the knife and, using the dull side, press it down the length of the ear to push out the rest of the corn and its milk.

Sweet & Sour Chicken with Brown Rice


In about the time it takes to order and pick up Chinese takeout, you can make this much healthier version of sweet & sour chicken. Our version loses all the saturated fat that comes from deep-frying, along with the extra sugar and salt. If you prefer, use tofu instead of chicken, and use your favorite vegetables; just be sure to cut them into similar-size pieces so they all cook at about the same rate.

Makes 4 servings (about 1 1/2 cups stir-fry & 1/2 cup rice each)

ACTIVE TIME: 30 minutes

TOTAL TIME: 35 minutes

EASE OF PREPARATION: Easy

2 cups instant brown rice
1/4 cup seasoned rice vinegar
2 tablespoons reduced-sodium soy sauce
2 tablespoons cornstarch
2 tablespoons apricot preserves
2 tablespoons canola oil, divided
1 pound chicken tenders (see Ingredient Note), cut into bite-size pieces
4 cloves garlic, minced
2 teaspoons finely grated or minced fresh ginger
1 cup reduced-sodium chicken broth
6 cups bite-size pieces of vegetables, such as snow peas, broccoli and bell peppers
1 5-ounce can sliced water chestnuts, drained

1. Prepare rice according to the package directions.
2. Meanwhile, whisk vinegar, soy sauce, cornstarch and apricot preserves in a small bowl. Set aside.
3. Heat 1 tablespoon oil in a large skillet over medium-high heat. Add chicken and cook, undisturbed, for 2 minutes. Continue cooking, stirring occasionally, until no longer pink on the outside and just starting to brown in spots, about 2 minutes more. Transfer to a plate.
4. Add the remaining 1 tablespoon oil, garlic and ginger to the pan and cook, stirring, until fragrant, 20 to 30 seconds. Add broth and bring to a boil, stirring constantly. Add vegetables, reduce heat to a simmer, cover and cook until the vegetables are tender-crisp, 4 to 6 minutes. Stir in water chestnuts and the chicken. Whisk the reserved sauce and add to the pan. Simmer, stirring constantly, until the sauce is thickened and the chicken is heated through, about 1 minute. Serve with the rice.

TIP: Ingredient note: Chicken tenders, virtually fat-free, are a strip of rib meat typically found attached to the underside of the chicken breast, but they can also be purchased separately. Four 1-ounce tenders will yield a 3-ounce cooked portion. Tenders are perfect for quick stir-fries, chicken satay or kid-friendly breaded “chicken fingers.”
