Fried Brown Rice With Kale And Turmeric Recipes

Steps:

• In a medium saucepan, bring brown rice, or your choice of grain, plus the appropriate amount of water to a boil. Reduce to a simmer and cook for 25 to 30 minutes until tender. Drain any excess liquid, fluff with a fork, and set aside to cool.
• In medium sauté pan, heat the oil over medium heat. Add the yellow onion and sauté for about 8 minutes, or until translucent. Add the garlic and cook until fragrant. Add the carrots and cook approximately 2 minutes.
• Pour in the soy sauce and cook, stirring occasionally, until it begins to evaporate, about 2 minutes. Add half the green onions and stir-fry for another 3 minutes, or until thoroughly heated. Sprinkle in the turmeric. Add the cooked rice or grains and sauté until warmed through. Add the tofu and warm through. Add the finely chopped kale or broccoli rabe and stir to coat and quickly warm through. Top with the remaining green onions, sprinkle with some gomashio, if desired, and serve immediately.

Steps:

• In a medium saucepan, bring brown rice, or your choice of grain, plus the appropriate amount of water to a boil (for brown rice, use 3 1/2 cups water). Reduce to a simmer, cover and cook for 35 to 40 minutes until tender. Drain any excess liquid, fluff with a fork, and set aside to cool.
• In medium saute pan, heat the oil over medium-low heat. Add the yellow onion and saute for about 8 minutes, or until translucent. Add the garlic and cook until fragrant. Add the carrots and cook approximately 2 minutes. Pour in the soy sauce and cook, stirring occasionally, until it begins to evaporate, about 2 minutes.
• Add half the green onions and turmeric and stir-fry for another 3 minutes, or until thoroughly heated. Add the cooked rice or grains and saute until warmed through. Add the tofu and warm through. Add the finely chopped kale or broccoli rabe and stir to coat and quickly warm through.
• Spoon the fried rice into a serving bowl. Top with the remaining green onions, sprinkle with some gomashio and toasted sesame seeds if desired and serve immediately.

Steps:

• If using kale, stem, wash and coarsely chop. If using frizzy mustard greens, cut away about 1 inch of the stem ends, wash and coarsely chop. Set aside near your wok.
• Beat the eggs in a bowl and season to taste with salt. Heat a 14-inch flat-bottomed wok over high heat until a drop of water evaporates within a second or two when added to the pan. Swirl in 2 teaspoons of the oil by adding it to the sides of the pan and swirling the pan, then, making sure that the bottom of the wok is covered with oil, carefully pour in the eggs. Cook 30 seconds to a minute, tilting the pan so that the eggs spread out into a thin pancake. Once the pancake is set and beginning to color, flip it over with a metal spatula and allow to cook for 5 seconds. Remove to a cutting board and roll up the pancake. Cut into thin strips and set aside.
• Swirl in 1 tablespoon of the oil and add the tofu. Let sit in the pan for about 30 seconds, until it begins to sear, then stir-fry for about 2 minutes, until it is lightly colored. Push to the sides of the wok and add the remaining oil and the ginger and garlic. Stir-fry for no more than 10 seconds and add the greens and salt to taste. Turn the heat to high and stir-fry for 1 minute, until the greens have wilted. Stir the tofu down from the sides of the wok and add the soy sauce. Stir-fry for a couple of seconds and add the rice. Stir-fry for 1 to 2 minutes, scooping up and breaking up the rice, then pressing it into the pan and scooping it up again. Add the egg strips, cilantro and more soy sauce if desired, and stir-fry another 30 seconds to combine. Remove from the heat and serve.
