Awesome Asian-inspired pilaf that's not much harder than a regular batch of rice. Kick ordinary white rice up a notch. Easy to add in broccoli or bok choy to make it even more substantial.

ingredients

2 cans (14 ounce size) chicken broth, fat skimmed from top
1/2 cup water
2 cups uncooked white long-grain rice
1 tablespoon sesame oil
2 teaspoons soy sauce
1/2 teaspoon powdered ginger
1/2 cup frozen peas

directions

In a large pan, combine the broth and water; add the rice and bring to a boil. Continue boiling until the level of the liquid just covers the rice. Turn the heat to low, cover and cook 15 minutes.

While the rice is cooking, combine the sesame oil, soy sauce and ginger. Stir into the cooked rice with the peas.

Serve half of the recipe hot for a side-dish. Store the remaining in the refrigerator to use as a base for rice salad.

  1. LaticiaSol REVIEW:

    I stirred in some leftover cooked chicken and made dinner out of it! Delicious!

  2. grammy48 REVIEW:

    Very good. I used more soy sauce.

  3. Valerie REVIEW:

    This is sort of a cheater's fried rice. The Asian flavors were perfect and the rice was tender. You could also make this with instant rice. The amount of soy sauce seems a little light - we doubled it. Try toasted sesame oil or even the spicy chili oil for an added extra kick.
