Recipe: un-fried rice!

This is the best.


Literally, I can't tell you how amazing this rice is. I recently made this (and some Thai Basil Chicken) for B's family and they all got seconds and thirds and then grilled me for the recipe afterward. It's always a hit, it's cheap, and it keeps all week. 

Un-fried rice.

Long grain brown rice (not minute rice.)
Low sodium soy sauce
Frozen peas and carrots (Frozen contain more nutrients than canned)
Cayenne pepper (optional, very spicy)

-Prepare a 16oz package of brown rice as directed. Let it cool, then stick it in the fridge for a couple hours to a full day.

-Put all your rice and a bag of frozen peas and carrots in a glass baking dish and mix with half a bottle of low sodium soy sauce. Add cayenne pepper (optional) to taste.

-Bake uncovered at 350* for 25 minutes.



Baking it uncovered dries the rice out which imitates the dryness of fried rice. I don't know if I can tell the difference!

Pair your un-fried rice with a chicken and veggie stir fry or just eat it alone (healthy grains and veggies!) We have a constant supply of this at our house, usually a giant pyrex dish that takes up an entire shelf of the fridge. Both B and I acquired the spicy gene in Thailand, so ours is always melt-your-face-off spicy (cayenne is good for your metabolism!)

If you're feeling saucy, add fresh or ground ginger, scrambled egg, pineapple chunks or stuff this in a burrito. Mmmmmm.

Cheers!
