Categories     main-dish

Time 40m

Yield 4 servings

Number Of Ingredients 16

2 cups water
1 tablespoon butter
1 teaspoon salt, eyeball it
1 rounded cup white rice
2 tablespoons black sesame seeds, toasted white sesame seeds may be substituted
4 boneless, skinless chicken breasts
4 boneless, skinless chicken thighs
Vegetable oil, for drizzling
Salt and pepper
1 cup chicken broth or water
1-inch ginger root, peeled and chopped
1/4 cup honey
1/2 cup teriyaki sauce
1 tablespoon toasted sesame oil
4 scallions, thinly sliced
1 ripe pineapple

Steps:

  • Preheat a grill pan or large griddle over medium high heat.
  • Bring water to a boil in a small covered pot. Add butter, salt and rice to the pot. Return the water to a boil. Reduce heat to simmer and replace cover. Simmer 18 minutes and remove rice from heat. Take the lid off the pot to cool rice a bit. Scoop rice into balls with an ice cream scoop and your hands. Dampen hands with water to work with rice if it is very sticky. Set rice balls on a plate and sprinkle with black sesame seeds.
  • While your rice is cooking, lightly coat chicken with oil, salt and pepper. Place chicken on hot grill and cook 6 minutes on the first side.
  • While chicken is cooking, bring chicken broth and ginger to a boil. Stir in honey. When honey has dissolved into broth, add teriyaki sauce and sesame oil and reduce heat to simmer.
  • Turn chicken and coat liberally with honey teriyaki sauce using a basting brush. Cook chicken 4 minutes, turn again and baste liberally again with sauce, then cook 2 minutes longer. Remove chicken to a plate. Garnish chicken with sliced scallions.
  • While chicken cooks on the second side, peel and cut a ripe pineapple into 8 spears. Cut off top and bottom of pineapple. Set pineapple upright and trim away skin in strips from top to bottom. Halve pineapple lengthwise and quarter each 1/2, lengthwise. The core is edible, but may be trimmed if you wish. Pineapple can be very acidic. Spears set in cold water for just 1 minute will keep the fruit from stinging your lips when it is eaten. Serve with chicken and rice balls

HONEY VANILLA RICE-PUDDING CRèME BRûLéE

Categories     Milk/Cream     Egg     Rice     Dessert     Bake     Broil     Vanilla     Chill     Gourmet     Kidney Friendly     Vegetarian     Pescatarian     Wheat/Gluten-Free     Peanut Free     Tree Nut Free     Soy Free     Kosher

Yield Serves 8 to 10

Number Of Ingredients 11

2/3 cup water
1/3 cup long-grain rice
2 cups milk
1/2 cup heavy cream
1 vanilla bean, split lengthwise
2 large whole eggs
3 large egg yolks
1/2 cup honey
1/4 teaspoon salt
1/3 cup firmly packed light brown sugar
orange sections as an accompaniment

Steps:

  • In a small saucepan bring the water to a boil, add the rice with a pinch of salt, and simmer it gently, covered, for 15 to 20 minutes, or until all the water is absorbed and the rice is tender. Transfer the rice to a small bowl and let it cool.
  • Preheat the oven to 300°F. and butter a 9-inch (1-quart capacity) flameproof shallow baking dish. In the pan bring the milk and the cream just to a boil with the vanilla bean and remove the pan from the heat. Scrape the seeds from the vanilla bean into the milk mixture and discard the pod (or reserve it for another use). In a bowl whisk together the whole eggs, the egg yolks, the honey, and the salt, whisk in the rice, and whisk the mixture until it is combined well. Add the milk mixture in a stream, whisking, and pour the custard into the baking dish. Transfer the baking dish to a baking pan, add enough hot water to the pan to reach halfway up the side of the dish, and bake the custard in the middle of the oven for 1 hour to 1 hour and 10 minutes, or until it is set completely. Transfer the custard to a rack, let it cool, and chill it, covered, for at least 6 hours or overnight.
  • Just before serving, preheat the broiler, blot the top to the custard dry with a paper towel, and force the brown sugar through a coarse sieve onto the top of it, covering it evenly. Put the baking dish in a baking pan filled with ice and broil the custard about 2 inches from the heat for 2 to 3 minutes, or until the brown sugar is melted and crisp (be careful not to let the brown sugar burn). Let the crème brûlée cool in the pan of ice for 3 minutes and serve it, cut into wedges, with the orange sections.

Provided by nancyjcanzi

Number Of Ingredients 12

1 tbsp vegetable oil 15 mL
2 boneless, skinless chicken breasts, diced 2
1/4 cup soy sauce 50 mL
4 tsp each minced garlic and ginger 20 mL
3 cups frozen Asian-style mixed vegetables 750 mL
1 cup shelled, frozen edamame or green peas 250 mL
3/4 cup Diana® Sauce, Honey Garlic flavour 175 mL
1/4 cup water 50 mL
1 tbsp lime juice 15 mL
4 cups cooked, long-grain white or brown rice 1 L
1/2 cup chopped green onion 125 mL
1 tbsp toasted sesame oil 15 mL

Steps:

  • Heat the oil in a large wok or deep nonstick skillet set over medium-high heat. Add the chicken, soy sauce, garlic and ginger; stir-fry for 3 to 4 minutes or until browned. Add the mixed vegetables and edamame; stir-fry for 3 to 4 minutes or until tender. Meanwhile, combine the Diana sauce with the water and lime juice. Add to the skillet and bring to a boil. Stir in the rice; cook for 3 to 5 minutes or until chicken is cooked through and rice is hot and coated with sauce. Just before serving, stir in the green onion and sesame oil. Tip(s): 1. Edamame are green soybeans that can be found already shelled in many supermarket freezer sections. 2. For fresh crunch, stir in a handful of bean sprouts when adding the green onion. 3. Substitute cubed pork loin for the chicken. 4. Substitute shrimp or cubed, firm tofu for the chicken; simply add along with the vegetables and edamame. 5. Prepare rice ahead; freeze in zip-top (re-sealable) bags until ready to use. 6. To reduce the salt content of this recipe, use lite or sodium-reduced soy sauce.

Tips:

  • To make the perfect honey rice, use a heavy-bottomed pot or saucepan. This will help to evenly distribute the heat and prevent the rice from sticking.
  • Rinse the rice thoroughly before cooking. This will help to remove any excess starch and make the rice less sticky.
  • Use a ratio of 1 cup of rice to 1 1/2 cups of water. This will produce fluffy, tender rice.
  • Bring the water to a boil, then reduce the heat to low, cover the pot, and simmer for 18 minutes. Do not lift the lid during this time.
  • Once the rice is cooked, remove it from the heat and let it stand, covered, for 5 minutes. This will help the rice to absorb any remaining moisture.
  • Fluff the rice with a fork before serving. This will help to separate the grains and make the rice light and fluffy.

Conclusion:

Honey rice is a delicious and versatile dish that can be enjoyed in many different ways. It can be served as a side dish, a main course, or even a dessert.
