Brown Fried Rice - Five Treasure

"The sky is the limit when it comes to preparing fried rice. With this recipe we use brown rice and a little canola oil to make it healthier and 5 different types of vegetables. It's important the brown rice is well chilled so the starch hardens and makes it fry-able. If you use fresh rice you will have a gummy mess. Using ginger, scallions and garlic helps boost the flavour or you could even add some sesame oil or chile peppers. You could substitute the canola for sesame oil to add more flavour. Change any of the vegetables to asparagus; zucchini, peas, mushrooms, bok choy, bean spouts, jicama and even fruit such as mandarin oranges or pineapple.. To make it more of a meal I would add protein like chicken, shrimp, ham or even tofu...but then it wouldn't be Five Treasure now. Cooking time includes cooking the rice and chilling it. To speed the process up at dinner time, prepare the rice and chopped veggies the day before. This recipe came from Fine Cooking."

  1. Treasure indeed! I omitted the bacon and added tofu---delicious! This made an exquisitely healthy winter supper paired with the Thai sweet-potato leek soup posted by Bev's Kitchen.
     
  2. Delicious recipe! This is very much like an Ellie Krieger recipe I have made and enjoyed, but I can't find that one right off hand. This is definitely a great recipe to try. Very flexible, and if you have the veggies chopped and the cold rice ready, it goes together in a snap. I feel so healthy when I eat meals like this - love it! I do find that adding some salt to the finished product really brings out the flavors for me.
     
  3. Oh my goodness, full of healthy veggies and the oh so good short grain brown rice(my favorite rice)! I cut the recipe in half, but next time I won't. Thanks! Made for KK's Recipe of the Day.
     
  4. Great recipe! I have made so many fried rice recipes, but none with brown rice. This was a special treat, as I love brown rice! The aroma was fabulous while cooking, hubby kept saying "Is it done yet"? It's too bad that while it takes a few minutes to make some of these great reccipes, it gets "downed" in no time! Thanks for posting Heather! Made for KK's Recipe of The Day Event!
     
  5. Made this for KK's Kitchen Mini Cookathon http://kittencalskitchen.com/forum/index.php?topic=669.0 Thought I had already posted my review of this. I made this exactly as the recipe was given. Very nice side dish, and wonderfully flavorful, with all the vege's in it so takes care of the Starch and Vege's whoopi only one side dish that night. Thank You for a wonderful recipe.

RECIPE SUBMITTED BY

I live in Ontario and work full time as a consultant in IT for a communication company in another province. I create test cases and scripts and initiate the testing for the software changes that the programmers make to the company’s various programs. I have the pleasure of working from my home and dialling into their network. I also sell Avon for fun. I met my husband (Paul) on a blind date. We dated 3 years and have been married for 25 years. We have two children a son(age 20) and a DD(age 17). We have been blessed with the best two kids anyone could ask for. DH is a commerical airline pilot and currently is a "Check Pilot" on the A320. He is away quite a bit, so when he comes home I try to make sure he has a decent meal. He eats out when on the road so he really enjoys a good home cooked meal when he arrives home, while the rest of us want to go and eat out. I love to spend time in my garden, travel and try new recipes. DH and I love to travel or just spend time at a cottage in the summer. I have not been on a cruise but hope to within the next 2 years (maybe for our 25th wedding anniversary.) We pretty much eat anything. DH especially loves seafood (more than I do.) while I prefer to eat chicken. We are so predicable when ordering our meal at a restaurant. Next, I think it would have to be Italian and then something spicy like Thai or Indian. My family loves Indian food but I have never had the courage to make it. Maybe I will someday. I like to read true stories and criminal books. David Baldacci is one of my favourite authors. My favorite restaurant is "Bin 23", "Einsteins Cafe," "Abberfolye Mill" My brother sent me the link to Recipezaar and now I am hooked trying new recipes every day. I don't think I will buy another cook book. <img src="http://i21.photobucket.com/albums/b280/carolinamoon21/Stockingswapcopy.jpg"> <img src="http://www.recipezaar.com/members/home/37305/candyswap.jpg"> <img src="http://i273.photobucket.com/albums/jj240/marienixon_715/kittencaljpg.jpg"> <a href="http://www.amazingcounter.com"><img border="0" src="http://cb.amazingcounters.com/counter.php?i=2232760&c=6698593" alt="frontpage widget"></a><a href="http://www.4computercoupons.com">Buy Laptop</a> <a href="http://www.4computercoupons.com/dell-coupons.html">Computer</a>
