A Bowl of rice and...

[Guest guest]

Okay. Right now, I'n not vegetarian, but so far have given up most

fast food, most red meat (I can't resist the occasional tri tip) and

try to eat at least one vegetarina meal every day. It's a slow,

gradual process.

 

Right now, I'm looking for lunch solutions (a meal I usually eat solo).

I'm looing at quick easy solutions. I tried an " Amy's " rice bowl, and

didn't much care for it, although I could make a better version

myself.

 

I ask you this- If you start with a bowl of brown rice, what would you

add?

 

 

Thanks in advance, (I know I'll get some interesting responses!)

I was going to suggest the same thing, you can even steam and place on top of

rice and then the sauce, toasted sesame seeds really add a good flavor across

the top.

Please browse the recipe files and look at the hummus recipes as well as all

the sandwich and wrap recipes.

Steamed snap peas and an Asian curry. I do this often.

 

 

Actually last night we had steamed snap peas, yellow squash, carrots, and

bamboo shoots, with a green curry (a bit of Thai Kitchen's Green Curry

Paste added to a can of coconut milk-- that's all I add. I don't use the

sugar and fish oil that is suggested on the jar of curry paste. This can

have a kick to it; the amount of paste you use is according to taste.

Simmer for five minutes and you are done!) This is good over pasta, rice,

or quinoa.

 

here is a pic, and nutrition/ingredients list for the product (just scroll

down to Green Curry Paste):

http://p2.hostingprod.com/@thaikitchen.com/saucespastes.html#

 

There are *many* different types of satays and curries that can be used--

but this product is pretty common in regular grocery stores (I have seen it

in Walmart, Food Lion, and others). Most of the other types I use I pick up

in ethnic stores. Some are added to coconut milk, and others to oil, and

others are ready as is.

 

 

Thia <--- who can not comfortably eat tomatoes or dairy, so had to find

sauce alternatives years ago.

Black beans has already been said.

I second that. And MUSHROOMS!

I like to pour some tahini sauce over rice. It's easy to make. The

ingredients are tahini (ground sesame), lemon, salt, garlic, and

water. Different recipes call for varying proportions. I usually use

1/2 cup tahini, 1/4 cup lemon juice, 1tsp salt, and two or three

pressed garlic cloves. I toss these into a bowl and stir, and then

gradually add water, constantly stirring, until I get the consistency

I want. And usually, I can't help but toss a pinch of cayenne pepper

into it for the final stir. It takes just a few minutes to prepare

and is a fantastic sauce.

To Reply to Kim's bowl of brown rice...

I would like to add some chickpeas, some onion, some green peas and then

probably some tomatoes, cooked red potatoes, some garam marsala and what ever

else sounds good.

Here is a recipe that I posted in the Asian files, that we like with Basmati

Rice. This is a family favorite that I make often. Stir Fry

 

1 Can Worthington Choplets http://tinyurl.com/hg2w4

1 Bell Peppers, sliced in big pieces

1 Onion Chopped in large pieces

1 Carrot sliced

1 Celery Rib, sliced

1 cup of fresh chopped Broccoli

1-2 minced garlic

1 TBSP Bill Best " Beaf " Seasoning

1/2 tsp ground ginger

Salt to taste or use Braggs Liquid Aminos(soy sauce alternative that tastes

as salty as Soy Sauce but has MUCH LESS Sodium)

 

4 cups of cooked Basmati Rice

 

Drain the Can of Choplets and pat dry with a paper towel. Slice the

Choplets into bite size pieces. Put into Choplet pieces into a hot frying

pan with some Canola oil and brown. Add the Bill's Best " Beaf " Seasoning

to it and brown minute longer. Put Choplets into a bowl for later. Add the

Vegetables to the Frying pan with a bit of Canola Oil. and stir constantly

over high heat until brightly colored. Add the ginger and garlic and stir

until well to blend. Add the Choplets back into the frying pan with the

Vegetables. Add salt to taste or Braggs lqd. Amino's(you can find this at

The Bean Store and other Health Food Stores). Serve over hot Basmati or

Hi Lori:

 

I would sautee up some onions, garlic, carrots, celery, broccoli, cauliflower,

bell peppers,corn, peas, anyother veggie that you feel like, and then I would

add some chile powder, cumin powder, ginger, cinnamon and stir to coat the

veggies, now I would add my brown rice and some tofu and mix then add some soy

sauce.

 

Or you can take a bowl of brown rice and mix in some bell peppers, onions,

garlic, celery and black beans.

 

The other day for lunch I made brown rice and lentils. I added onion, carrot,

garalic, and corn.

How about chopping up a faux chicken patty and adding to the vegetables

on top?

Interesting question, I havent had the chance to try getting some

brown rice, they dont sell it at the store closest to me, ARGH. And

when I do walk up to the bigger supermarket, I always forget brown

rice. BUT, if I can ever remember to get it, I have a few recipes I

have found, and hubby and I love chinese type meals, so most likely

would do fried rice and other stuff like that. And I have been

craving stuffed cabbage rolls, so prolly will figure out something

with that.
