Oriental Rice with Chrystallized Ginger


For years, I wanted to get crystallized ginger but didn't see it in any of the stores.  Whenever, I came across a recipe that called for it, I thought again to track it down but I guess, it was not that important.  The other day, I was in one of the local stores that I frequent on a regular basis and there on the shelf was the ginger.  I am wondering if it had been there all the time or if they just got it in.

Oriental Rice with Crystallized Ginger

 1 tablespoon olive oil
1 shallot, minced
1 tablespoon Crystallized Ginger, chopped fine
2 cups cooked brown rice

Method:

Heat oil in a skillet.

Add shallot and cook for 3 minutes.

Add the crystallized ginger and cook for another minute or 2. Stir occasionally.

Add rice to the pan and mix all the ingredients.

When everything is heated, it is ready to be served.

Eat and enjoy.

    You can make crystallized ginger at home. So much better. And you control the sugar. And you can get better ginger root too boot. Hey, that rhymes.

Thai Chicken San Choy Bau

It says, "thai" so I have to like the Thai Chicken San Choy Bau that we are making this week in our Donna Hay Wednesday group.  It was a bit spicy and the chopped chicken was a nice change of pace. Kayte selected this recipe from On the Shelf on page 124.   I tried it with the greens and it was very good and then I put it on spaghetti and it was spectacular.  My toddler granddaughter even liked it.  Must have been the hot sauce. I used romaine for the greens and I subbed in red pepper and added some Sirracha to spice it up to make up for the real chilis. Do check out the other cooks' dishes at our   Wednesday with Donna Hay site.

Another week, another vegetable for our Power Food group, a bunch of women who strive for healthy eating with the most delicious dishes. Each blog is inspiration .

Brussels sprouts like broccoli and cabbage are cruciferous. This group offers a unique composition of antioxidants that may provide several health benefits. Brussels sprouts are low in calories and offer protein, vitamins and minerals to help build a healthy human. My first issue with brussels sprouts is that it took me years to spell it correctly. Each time, it came up, in writing, and I admit, that was not too often, I would stare into space asking myself does brussel get an S, at the end or is it sprout that gets the S. For some reason, I could not remember that both end with that S. I am happy to tell you, I overcame thi

Another week, another vegetable for our Power Food group, a bunch of women who strive for healthy eating with the most delicious dishes. Each blog is inspiration . Each week, we choose a recipe based on the power food which comes from the book, Power Foods, 150 delicious recipes with the 38 healthiest ingredients from the editors of Whole Living magazine. That week, we concentrated on carrots. I like to check out our vegetable, not only for health benefits, but also for the names of their sisters. Carrots are related to parsnips, fennel, parsley, anise, caraway, cumin and dill. I didn't have a clue about many of these. I, have never seen carrots of other colors or at least, if I had, I didn't know, they were carrots. I am going to a good produce store, looking for purple or red carrots, to start my search. It is fun, shopping when purposely looking for new vegetables. I have definitely expanded my horizons. When, I was thinking about what to make with carrots, I
