    101 Things To Do With Rice - Donna Kelly

    Helpful Hints

    To cook the perfect rice, keep lid on pan to prevent steam from escaping. Do not stir unless directed to do so in the recipe. Stirring will release starch causing rice to become sticky. At the end of specified cooking time, remove lid and test for doneness. If water has not been completely absorbed or rice is not tender, return to heat, cover and cook an additional 2 to 4 minutes, until done.

    One cup uncooked rice equals 2-1/2 to 3 cups cooked rice. Two cups uncooked rice yields 5 to 6 cups cooked rice.

    Many recipes in this cookbook call for cooked white rice. To cook traditional white rice: Use 1 cup of rice to 2 cups water or broth. Bring to a boil in a saucepan, reduce heat to low, cover and simmer for 15 to 20 minutes. Let stand, covered, for 5 to 10 minutes before serving. Three Step Perfect White Rice is wonderful in any recipe that calls for cooked white rice as well.

    Three Step Perfect White Rice

    2 cups long-grain white rice

    3 tablespoons vegetable oil

    4 cups hot water

    1 tablespoon lemon juice

    1 teaspoon salt

    In a medium saucepan over medium-high heat, cook the rice in the oil until most of the rice kernels turn opaque white, about 3 minutes, stirring frequently. Add water, lemon juice and salt. Turn heat to high and bring to a boil and stir rice. Reduce heat to low so that rice is simmering very slowly. Do not stir. Cover and cook 15 to 20 minutes, until all water is absorbed. Remove from heat, uncover and let stand for 5 minutes. Fluff with a fork.

    To cook brown rice: Use 1 cup of rice to 2 cups of water or broth. Bring to a boil in a saucepan, reduce heat to low, cover and simmer for 45 minutes. Let stand, covered, for 5 to 10 minutes before serving.

    To cook wild rice: Use 1 cup of rice to 3 cups of water or broth. Bring to a boil in a saucepan, reduce heat to low, cover and simmer for 45 minutes. Let stand, covered, for 5 to 10 minutes before serving.

    Rice cookers simplify the cooking process and keep rice warm until ready to use. You can find ratios of rice to liquid, cooking time and amount yielded below.

    The first time you try a recipe, check for doneness 5 minutes before its minimum cooking time is over. Each oven heats differently.

    Low-fat, light, low-sugar or low-sodium ingredients can be substituted in any recipe. Ground turkey can be used in place of ground beef. Plain yogurt can be used in place of sour cream.

    2 tablespoons minced shallot

    2 tablespoons minced fresh parsley

    In a frying pan over medium heat, add oil. Cook patties until they are cooked through and golden brown on each side. Place peppers in a blender. Add sour cream. Blend until smooth, adding a little liquid from the jar to thin the sauce as desired. Season with salt and pepper. Makes 2 to 4 servings.

    * To save time, substitute with 1 can (8 ounces) salmon, drained and rinsed.
