Spring Carrots With Yellow Rice Recipes

Steps:

• Place the rice in a bowl in the sink and rinse several times with water, or soak for 30 minutes, to wash away some of the starch. Drain through a strainer.
• Heat the water or stock to a bare simmer in a saucepan or in a Pyrex measuring cup in the microwave.
• Meanwhile, heat the oil in a wide, heavy skillet or saucepan over medium heat and add the carrots, onion or leek, and salt to taste. Cook, stirring, until the vegetables begin to soften, about 3 minutes, and add the rice. Cook, stirring, until the grains of rice are separate and beginning to crackle. Add the hot water or stock and salt to taste and bring to a boil. Reduce the heat, cover and simmer 15 minutes, until all of the liquid has been absorbed.
• Uncover the rice and place a clean towel over the top of the pan (it should not be touching the rice). Replace the lid and allow the rice to sit for 10 minutes, undisturbed. Add the parsley and gently fluff the rice, then pile the pilaf onto a platter or into a wide bowl and serve.

Steps:

• Heat the olive oil. Add the spices, carrots and rice and saute for a couple of minutes, stirring continuously until the rice is translucent.
• Add the broth, cover and simmer over low heat for 15 minutes or until the rice is tender and has absorbed all of the water. Season to taste with salt and pepper and keep off heat, covered, until the tuna is completed.

Steps:

• Melt 2 tablespoons butter in a large skillet over medium-high. Add onions, cut-side down; cook until golden brown, about 4 minutes. Transfer to a plate. Add wine and cook, stirring and scraping up browned bits, until liquid is reduced to about 2 tablespoons, 2 to 3 minutes.
• Add remaining 2 tablespoons butter, 1/2 cup water, carrots, and 1/2 teaspoon salt. Bring to a boil, then reduce to a simmer and cook, covered, until carrots are just tender, about 12 minutes. Uncover; return onions to pan and simmer until liquid has evaporated and carrots are glazed and tender, 5 to 6 minutes more.
• Add thyme; season with salt and pepper. Transfer to a platter; serve, garnished with parsley.

Steps:

• In a small bowl, combine hot sauce, soy sauce, sugar, and sesame oil. In a large nonstick skillet, heat vegetable oil over medium. Add onion and garlic; season with salt. Cook, stirring occasionally, until onion is soft, about 8 minutes. Add mushrooms and cook until softened, about 4 minutes. Add hot-sauce mixture and rice and cook, stirring, until warmed through, about 2 minutes.
• Using the back of a spoon, flatten rice mixture and increase heat to high. Cook until bottom begins to brown and crisp, 2 to 4 minutes. Divide among four plates; top each with an egg and serve with more hot sauce if desired.

Steps:

• Combine 1 1/3 cups stock with turmeric and salt in heavy 2-quart saucepan and bring to boil over high heat.
• Add rice, reduce heat to low, cover and cook until liquid is absorbed, about 25 minutes.
• Remove from heat and fluff with fork. Cover and keep warm.
• Melt butter in heavy large skillet over low heat.
• Add onion, cover and cook until softened, about 10 minutes, stirring occasionally.
• Add in carrots, increase heat to medium-low and cook uncovered 5 minutes.
• Add marjoram and oregano and cook 5 minutes, stirring frequently.
• Stir in vinegar, sugar and cinnamon and cook a few minutes to blend flavors.
• Add 1/2 cup stock and simmer gently until carrots are crisp-tender and liquid is evaporated, about 20 minutes.
• Stir carrots into rice. (Can be prepared 2 days ahead to this point and refrigerated. To reheat, turn into buttered baking dish, cover with foil and bake in preheated 325°F oven until hot, about 30 minutes.)
• Mix in parsley.

Steps:

• Place the rice noodles in a large bowl and cover with hot water. Soak for 20 minutes, or until pliable. Meanwhile, bring a large pot of water to a boil. Drain the noodles and add to the boiling water. Boil 1 minute and drain. Rinse with cold water and transfer to a bowl. Using kitchen scissors, cut the noodles into 2-inch lengths. Toss with 2 teaspoons of the rice vinegar and the soy sauce
• Place the shredded carrots and turnips, slivered mushrooms and chopped herbs in a large bowl and toss with 2 tablespoons of the rice vinegar and salt to taste. Place the lettuce in another bowl and toss with the remaining vinegar and salt to taste
• Fill a bowl with warm water and place a spring roll wrapper in it just until it is pliable, about 30 seconds. Remove from the water and drain briefly on a kitchen towel. Place the wrapper on your work surface in front of you and arrange several cilantro sprigs, whole mint leaves and basil leaves, vein side up, on the wrapper. Leaving a 2-inch margin on the sides, place a handful of the carrot mixture on the wrapper, slightly nearer to the edge closest to you. Top with a handful of lettuce, then a handful of noodles. Fold the sides in, then roll up the spring rolls tightly, squeezing the filling to get a tight roll. Refrigerate until ready to serve. Serve with a dipping sauce of your choice, if desired
