BAKED MUSHROOM-SESAME RICE BALLS

Provided by Mark Bittman

Categories     Appetizer     Vegetarian     Party     Brown Rice     Seed     Sugar Conscious     Vegan     Pescatarian     Dairy Free     Peanut Free     Tree Nut Free     No Sugar Added     Kosher

Yield 4 to 8 servings

Number Of Ingredients 8

1 1/2 cups short grain brown rice
Salt
Boiling water, as needed
2 tablespoons vegetable oil, plus more for greasing the pans
8 ounces fresh shiitake or button mushrooms, chopped
Black pepper
1 cup sesame seeds or finely chopped nuts, plus more as needed
Soy sauce, for passing at the table

Steps:

  • 1. Put the rice in a large pot along with a big pinch of salt. Add enough water to cover by about 1 1/2 inches. Bring to a boil, then adjust the heat so the mixture bubbles gently.
  • 2. Cook, stirring occasionally and adding more boiling water if the rice begins to stick to the bottom, until the grains are very tender and burst, about an hour.
  • 3. Meanwhile, put the oil in a large skillet over medium-high heat. When it's hot, add the mushrooms, sprinkle with salt and pepper, and cook, stirring occasionally, until dry, lightly browned, and almost crisp, 10 to 15 minutes. When the rice is starchy and very thick, stir in the mushrooms, transfer to a bowl, and let cool in the fridge, at least 45 minutes and up to 24 hours.
  • 4. When you are ready to bake the rice balls, heat the oven to 375°F and grease two large baking sheets. Pour the sesame seeds into a shallow bowl. Roll the rice mixture into 1 1/2-inch balls, dip each ball into the sesame seeds to coat it completely, and put the balls 2 inches apart on the prepared pans. Bake the rice balls, turning them as needed, until crisp and golden, 25 to 30 minutes. Serve immediately, passing soy sauce at the table.

SESAME LIME SCALLION RICE



Sesame Lime Scallion Rice image

This delicious, easy rice has a light Asian flavor, and pairs well with almost any protein like fish, chicken or pork! The key here is the sesame oil, so try not to substitute it.

Provided by Faux Chef Lael

Categories     Long Grain Rice

Time 35m

Yield 3 Cups, 4 serving(s)

Number Of Ingredients 8

2 tablespoons sesame oil, divided
6 scallions, thinly sliced, white and green parts divided
1 1/2 cups jasmine rice
3 cups chicken broth (or stock, low-sodium is fine)
1 1/4 teaspoons coarse salt, divided
1/2 teaspoon ground pepper
1 lime, zested and juiced
1 tablespoon toasted sesame seeds

Steps:

  • In a 3- to 4-quart saucepan or skillet, heat 1 tablespoon of sesame oil over medium heat. Add the scallion whites, 1/4 teaspoon of salt, and a pinch of pepper. Cook, stirring often, until tender but not browned, about 5 minutes.
  • Add the rice and cook, stirring often, until it begins to crackle, 2 to 3 minutes.
  • Add the chicken broth, lime zest, 1 teaspoons salt and 1/4 teaspoons pepper; bring to a boil. Cover and turn the heat down to low. Cook until the rice is tender and the liquid is absorbed, about 18 minutes. The trick to perfect is rice is not to lift the lid or stir during this stage. Leave it alone until all the liquid is absorbed.
  • Remove from the heat and using a fork, fluff the scallion greens, 1 tablespoon of sesame oil, and the lime juice into the rice. Let rest 5 minutes.
  • Sprinkle with toasted sesame seeds and serve.

FRIED RICE WITH GINGER, HOISIN, AND SESAME



Fried Rice with Ginger, Hoisin, and Sesame image

A twist on the average fried rice - a culmination of some of my favorite Asian flavors thrown into a common dish. This recipe is very easy to adjust according to personal tastes; you can make it about as strong or as mild as you prefer. Compliments Teriyaki beef well, or can be easily modified into a stir-fry meal.

Provided by CARLYYY

Categories     Main Dish Recipes     Rice     Fried Rice Recipes

Time 35m

Yield 6

Number Of Ingredients 16

1 tablespoon butter
½ cup uncooked white rice
1 cup water
½ cup hoisin sauce
½ cup barbeque sauce
1 tablespoon peanut butter
1 ½ teaspoons soy sauce
1 clove garlic, minced
1 teaspoon grated fresh ginger root
2 teaspoons sesame oil
1 cup chopped onion
1 cup grated carrot
2 cups frozen pea pods
2 cups frozen chopped broccoli, thawed
2 eggs
¼ cup sesame seeds, lightly toasted

Steps:

  • Melt the butter in a small saucepan over medium heat. Add the uncooked rice, and cook until toasted, stirring occasionally. Pour in the water and bring to a boil. Reduce heat to low, cover, and cook for about 15 minutes, or until tender.
  • While the rice is cooking, mix together the hoisin sauce, barbeque sauce, peanut butter, soy sauce, garlic, and ginger. Set aside.
  • When the rice is done cooking, heat the sesame oil in a wok or large skillet over medium-high heat. When it begins to smoke, add the onion and fry until clear. Add the carrot, and cook for about 1 minute, then add the rice, and stir fry for about 2 minutes. Add the broccoli and peas; cook and stir for about 1 minute. Push everything to the sides of the wok, and crack the eggs into the center. Scramble until cooked through, trying to keep the raw egg from mixing with everything else. When the eggs are cooked, stir them in with the rice.
  • Turn off the heat, and stir in about half of the sauce, tasting and adding more as desired. You may not need all of the sauce, but if you serve this with a meat it makes a good sauce for that too. Sprinkle with sesame seeds before serving.
