Pepper Vegetarian Rice - cjs - 10-29-2010
We had this for dinner today and it is wonderful!! If possible when you make this, have an assortment of mushrooms. I used up all that I had picked up last week and the flavor was just great!
Pepper Vegetarian Rice - Grace Young, Stir-Fry to the Sky's Edge
1 cup brown rice
2 teaspoons plus 2 tablespoons peanut
or vegetable oil
2 large eggs, beaten
2 tablespoons minced ginger
1/4 teaspoon red pepper flakes
1 cup 1/4-inch diced carrots
4 ounces fresh shiitake mushrooms, cut into
1/4-inch dice (2 1/3 cups)
1/2 cup vegetable broth
1/2 cup chopped scallions
1/4 cup pine nuts, roasted
2 tablespoons soy sauce
1/2 teaspoon salt
1/4 teaspoon ground white pepper
Put the rice in a l-quart saucepan and wash in sev-
eral changes of cold water until the water runs clear.
Drain and level the rice. Add 2 cups cold water. Bring
the water to a boil uncovered over high heat. Reduce
the heat to medium, and simmer the rice until most
of the water has evaporated and little craters appear
on the surface, 4 to 5 minutes. Reduce the heat to low,
cover, and simmer 10 minutes or until the liquid is
absorbed. Turn off the heat and let stand 5 minutes. (Or cook your favorite way)
Fluff the rice, cover, and allow to cool completely
before refrigerating.
When ready to stir-fry the rice, heat a 14-inch flat-
bottomed wok over high heat until a bead of water
vaporizes within I to 2 seconds of contact. Swirl in
2 teaspoons of the oil, making sure the bottom of
the wok is completely coated in oil. Add the eggs
and cook 30 seconds to I minute, tilting the pan so
that the egg covers the surface as thinly as possible to
make a pancake. When the bottom is just beginning
to brown and the pancake is just set, using a metal
spatula flip the pancake and allow it to set, about
5 seconds, before transferring it to a cutting board.
Cool, then cut the pancake into bite-sized pieces.
Swirl 1 T. of the remaining oil into the work, add the ginger and red pepper flakes, then, using a metal spatula, stir-fry 10 seconds or until the ginger is fragrant. Add the carrots and mushrooms and stir-fry 30 seconds or until all the oil is absorbed.
Swirl the broth into the wok and stir-fry I minute or
until almost all the broth has evaporated. Swirl in
remaining 1 tablespoon oil, add the scallions and rice,
and stir-fry 2 to 3 minutes, breaking up the rice with
the spatula until it is heated through. Add the pine
nuts and soy sauce, sprinkle on the salt, pepper, and
the reserved egg pieces, and toss to combine.
Serves 2 to 3 as a main dish or 4 as part of a
multicourse meal.

oh Jean, I want that NOW! It sounds so wonderful. I should never check on your posts before dinner.
Re: Pepper Vegetarian Rice - Gourmet_Mom - 10-29-2010
Jean, that is very similar to my fried rice recipe, minus the ginger. Also, I add frozen petite peas with the rice at the end and garnish with more green onions at the end....YUM! I like the way she does her egg. I usually just scramble them and set aside. I imagine the shredded egg is much more visually appealing.
OH, and I LOVE the addition of the pine nuts! I'm adding those next time!

Sounds excellent, copied and saved!
Re: Pepper Vegetarian Rice - Harborwitch - 10-30-2010
Jean that sounds so good. We're enjoying lots of Asian flavors right now and that sounds right up the alley. I wonder, could I rehydrate dried mushrooms?
Re: Pepper Vegetarian Rice - cjs - 10-30-2010
Why not? Maybe not for the entire amount?
Re: Pepper Vegetarian Rice - Trixxee - 10-30-2010
Sounds delicious! One of my best weeknight cheats - picking up pork fried rice from our favorite Chinese restaurant, re-heat that and top with a fried egg, a little maore soy sauce and fresh scallions.
Homemade has to be so much better though!

Oh, Roy is going to be sooooo mad - as we were putting l/os away last night, he said I'm having an egg on this for breakfast (his favorite thing to do with l/o - especially pizza) and HE FORGOT to do the egg
