An easy tip to follow when cooking and eating healthy is "Eat the rainbow," and this colorful stir-fry is a great way to start. We use boneless, skinless chicken thighs instead of breasts because a little goes a long way.

Categories     main-dish

Time 30m

Yield 4 servings

Number Of Ingredients 14

3/4 pound boneless, skinless chicken thighs (about 2 large), cut into 3/4- to 1-inch pieces
1 large egg white
2 tablespoons Chinese rice wine or dry sherry
1 tablespoon plus 2 teaspoons cornstarch
5 teaspoons low-sodium soy sauce
Kosher salt
1 tablespoon sugar
Freshly ground black pepper
4 tablespoons peanut or vegetable oil
2-inch piece ginger, sliced paper thin
5 scallions, whites cut into 1/2-inch pieces and greens sliced, separated
2 red bell peppers, sliced
1 cup frozen corn kernels, thawed
Cooked brown rice, for serving

Steps:

  • Toss the chicken with the egg white, 1 tablespoon each rice wine and cornstarch, 1 teaspoon soy sauce and 1/4 teaspoon salt in a medium bowl. Mix together 1/3 cup water, the remaining 4 teaspoons of soy sauce, 1 tablespoon rice wine and 2 teaspoons cornstarch, the sugar and 1/2 teaspoon each salt and pepper in a small bowl until dissolved; set aside.
  • Place the sauce, vegetables and chicken near the stove. Heat 2 tablespoons of the peanut oil in a large wok or large nonstick skillet over medium-high heat; swirl to coat the wok. Once the oil is hot, scoop the chicken from the bowl with a slotted spoon, letting any excess coating remain in the bowl, and add to the oil. Stir-fry, breaking the chicken up just enough so it doesn't clump, until the outside coating is set and lightly golden, 2 to 3 minutes. Remove the chicken with a slotted spoon and set aside. Wipe the wok out if needed.
  • Return the wok to medium-high heat and add the remaining 2 tablespoons of oil to the wok. Just as the oil begins to smoke, add the ginger and stir-fry until fragrant, about 30 seconds. Add the scallion whites and peppers and stir-fry until crisp-tender, about 3 minutes. Add the corn and stir-fry until just soft, about 1 minute. Add the chicken and the sauce (stir the sauce before adding); stir until the sauce is thick and the vegetables and chicken are cooked through, 1 to 2 minutes. Add the scallion greens. Serve with the brown rice.

PEPPER FRIED RICE



Pepper Fried Rice image

I was once amazed to find I could use frozen red and yellow bell pepper strips straight from the package. (I am aware that this is not a revelation to everyone; call me stupid.) The peppers are great in a simple quick dish of fried rice. If frozen vegetables are handled expeditiously, they are often better than buying 'fresh' at the store." It's true. Freezing, especially after blanching (which is almost always a part of the process), locks in both flavor and nutrients. And the use of I.Q.F. (individually quick frozen) technology has become routine, and the results are profoundly better than freezing vegetables in solid blocks. (These products are almost always sold in plastic bags, not boxes, and as a rule you should buy frozen vegetables in plastic bags.)

Categories     quick, side dish

Time 20m

Yield 4 servings

Number Of Ingredients 6

4 tablespoons peanut or neutral oil, like grapeseed or corn
1 pound frozen bell pepper strips, preferably a mixture of red and yellow
Salt and pepper
4 cups cooked rice, preferably long grain
2 tablespoons good soy sauce, or to taste
1 tablespoon dark sesame oil

Steps:

  • Put peanut oil in a large skillet, preferably nonstick, and turn heat to medium high. A minute later, add peppers and raise heat to high. Sprinkle with salt and pepper, and cook, stirring occasionally, until they begin to brown, about 10 minutes.
  • Add rice, separating it with your hands as you do so. Cook, stirring and breaking up the rice lumps, until it is hot and begins to brown, about 10 minutes. Stir in the soy sauce and sesame oil, taste and adjust seasoning, and serve.

LONG GRAIN WHITE RICE WITH CORN, PEPPERS AND ONIONS



Long Grain White Rice with Corn, Peppers and Onions image

Provided by Food Network

Categories     main-dish

Yield 8

Number Of Ingredients 10

2 large ears fresh corn shucked and all silk removed (1 large (12 to 16 ounces) drained can or 1 (10 ounce) box frozen corn may be substituted. Do not thaw before using.)
3 tablespoons butter, margarine or olive oil
1 medium yellow onion, minced
2 garlic cloves, minced
1 green or red sweet bell pepper, seeded and minced (or use a combination of both peppers)
2 cups long grain white rice (preferably Basmati or Texmati rice)
4 cups rich well seasoned Chicken Stock or "doctored" *canned broth
Freshly ground black pepper
Salt to taste
Optional: 1 tablespoon additional butter or margarine

Steps:

  • If using fresh corn: After removing the husks and silk, cut the kernels from the cobs using a sharp knife (being careful not to cut into the cob itself). Place the kernels into a bowl and using the knife, scrape up and down the shaft of the cob (over the bowl of corn) extracting the natural "corn cream". If using canned or frozen corn, simply begin with step #2.
  • To saute the vegetables: Melt the butter (or heat the oil) in a 2 1/2 quart heavy bottomed sauce pot (one that comes with a tight fitting lid). When hot, add the onions and garlic and saute for 3 minutes. Add the green pepper and saute until all the vegetables are softened and very fragrant, about 5 minutes over meduimlow heat.
  • To toast the rice: If using an "aromatic" rice, rinse it through a sieve (medium mesh) and drain well (see note). Add the rice and cook over medium heat, stirring to coat the rice with the butter and vegetables. Cook for about 3 minutes or until the rice is dry and beginning to turn golden.
  • To simmer (see note): Add the hot broth and return to a boil. Stir in the corn (whether fresh, drained canned or frozen), and bring back to a boil. Cover the pot and turn the heat to low. Simmer over a low flame for exactly 17 minutes without lifting the lid.
  • To "settle" and serve: Uncover and add a good amount of fresh pepper and some salt to taste. If desired, stir in 1 tablespoon of additional butter or margarine. Fluff with a fork, and cover the pot. Allow the rice to settle for 3 to 5 minutes to absorb any excess moisture. Serve hot.
  • Time Management Tips:
  • 1) For extra ease of preparation when assembling, all listed fresh vegetables can be chopped as much as one day ahead and kept refrigerated in separate (well covered) bowls.
  • 2) The stock can be made months ahead and kept frozen in securely covered, heavy freezer containers.
  • "Variation" Tips:
  • 1) Changing the type of stock can give your rice dish a totally different taste and (at times) color. Choose your stock according to your menu and don't be afraid to mix different types of stock,vegetables (and herbs) to create an even more complex flavor. Also, always thaw more stock than you'll need so you can boil it down until the volume is reduced (which will concentrate the flavor).
  • Some winning combinations of stock: Beef and chicken, chicken and shrimp, veal and beef, veal and chicken or chicken and fish.
  • Tips From a Teacher:
  • The most renown type of aromatic rice is Basmati rice which (once grown only in Pakistan and India), is now also grown here in the United States. This type of rice is special (although pricey) not only for it's nutty, butterlike and seductive flavor, but during cooking, the grains swell much more in length than in width, making the feel of the cooked rice more distinctive in the mouth. Basmati rice is also lower in starch which encourages the grains to remain separate.
  • Jasmine rice, another long grain white rice once grown exclusively in Thailand, is now also grown here and the flavor is similar to Basmati although the texture is somewhat softer when cooked. The other readilyavailable types of aromatic rice are grown here and come in both white, tan and brown varieties. All of the new domestic breeds of rice are an attempt to duplicate the flavor and aroma of Basmati, at a more affordable price. They can be identified as Texmati, Wehani and Popcorn rice (also called Wild Pecan rice). These are all delicious and lend their own unique characteristics to the finished dish.

BROWN RICE WITH ANDOUILLE, CORN, AND RED PEPPERS



Brown Rice With Andouille, Corn, and Red Peppers image

Raised in a Filipino household, I never knew there was such a thing as brown rice - brown? REALLY? - until I was married and on my own. I still love jasmine rice - but I really like that chewy, nutty thing going on with brown rice, too. This recipe is from Cook's Illustrated.

Provided by Pinay0618

Categories     Brown Rice

Time 1h50m

Yield 6 serving(s)

Number Of Ingredients 13

6 ounces andouille sausages, cut into 1/2-inch pieces
1 tablespoon olive oil
1 medium onion, chopped fine (about 1 cup)
1 red bell pepper, chopped fine (about 1 cup)
3 medium garlic cloves, minced
1 cup low sodium chicken broth
2 1/4 cups water
1 1/2 cups long grain brown rice
1 teaspoon table salt
1/2 cup frozen corn, thawed
1/4 cup roughly chopped fresh basil
1/4 teaspoon ground black pepper
1 lemon, cut into wedges

Steps:

  • Adjust oven rack to middle position; heat oven to 375 degrees. Cook sausage in Dutch oven over medium heat until lightly browned, 4 to 6 minutes. Using slotted spoon, transfer sausage to paper towel-lined plate; set aside. Add onion and pepper and cook, stirring occasionally, until well-browned, 12 to 14 minutes. Add garlic and cook until fragrant, about 30 seconds.
  • Add chicken broth and water; cover and bring to boil. Remove pan from heat, stir in rice and salt. Cover pot with lid and bake rice until tender, 65 to 70 minutes.
  • Remove pan from oven; uncover and discard foil. Fluff rice with dinner fork, stir in corn and reserved sausage, then replace lid. Let rice stand 5 minutes. Stir in basil and black pepper; serve, passing lemon wedges separately.

Tips:

  • Use Fresh Vegetables: For the best flavor and texture, use fresh bell peppers and corn. If fresh corn is unavailable, you can use frozen or canned corn, but be sure to drain it well before using.
  • Choose the Right Rice: Long-grain rice is the best choice for this recipe, as it will hold its shape and not become mushy. Jasmine rice or basmati rice are both good options.
  • Season the Rice: Before cooking the rice, be sure to season it with salt and pepper. This will help to flavor the rice and make it more flavorful.
  • Cook the Rice Properly: Follow the package directions for cooking the rice. Be sure to use the correct amount of water and cook the rice for the correct amount of time.
  • Sauté the Vegetables: While the rice is cooking, sauté the bell peppers and corn in a little bit of oil. This will help to bring out their flavor and make them more tender.
  • Add the Vegetables to the Rice: Once the rice is cooked, add the sautéed vegetables to the pot and stir to combine. You can also add other ingredients at this point, such as cooked chicken, shrimp, or beans.
  • Season to Taste: Once you've added all of the ingredients, taste the rice and adjust the seasoning as needed. You may want to add more salt, pepper, or other spices.
  • Serve Immediately: Rice with peppers and corn is best served immediately, while it's still hot and fresh.

Conclusion:

Rice with peppers and corn is a delicious and easy-to-make dish that can be enjoyed for lunch, dinner, or a side dish. It's a great way to use up leftover rice, and it's also a healthy and affordable meal.
