rice – The Funky Oven

Stick of butter rice

Side dishes

This almost reminds me of french onion soup. It is very rich and yet light.

1 cup whole grain rice uncooked

1 stick of butter, cut into tablespoons size pieces

1 can beef consume soup

1 can french onion soup

1 cup sliced fresh mushrooms

1-2 tablespoons fresh parsley

Preheat the oven to 425 degrees.

Place all of the ingredients into an 8×6 or 9×9 pan. Stir to evenly distribute. Cover with foil. Bake for 30 minutes covered. Remove the cover. Keep the oven temperature the same. Bake for another 30 minutes.

Fried rice

Dinner, Side dishes

We totally Americanized this. We had it with a 5 spice, lime, and sriracha grilled pork chop and steamed edamame. I do not claim it to be anything more than a Missouri girl living in Texas and making fried rice…. but it is darn good.

1.5 cups jasmine rice – cooked and let cool

3 large white mushrooms chopped

4 green onions chopped

2 eggs – beaten

2 tablespoons butter

2 tablespoons sesame oil

1/4 cup low sodium soy sauce

1 cup frozen peas thawed

On medium heat, melt the butter in the sesame oil. Add the mushrooms, peas, and onions. Saute 2-3 minutes. Add rice. Cook until rice starts to sizzle/pop stirring often. Add soy sauce. Move the rice to one side. Add the eggs to the open side. Begin to stir the egg once the edges appear cooked. Slowly flip the egg until cooked fully (about 2-3 minutes). Mix all together while breaking the egg into pieces. Add soy sauce to taste.
