Jane's Broccoli-Rice Stir-Fry
List of Ingredients
We all apparently adjust recipes to suit ourselves. I sent Jane a collection of rice recipes I'd found on the internet. She tried the following one:
Broccoli Rice with Walnuts
1/4 cup coarsely chopped walnuts or slivered almonds
1 tablespoon oil
1/2 package broccoli cuts
1 tablespoon sliced scallions
1 garlic clove, minced
1 cup chicken broth or water
2 tablespoons dry sherry (optional)
1 1/2 tablespoons soy sauce
1 cup rice, cooked
Cook and stir walnuts in hot oil in large skillet until lightly browned; remove from skillet. Add broccoli, scallions and garlic to oil remaining in skillet. Cook and Stir 2 to 3 minutes. Add broth, sherry and soy sauce. Bring to a full boil. Stir in rice. Cover; remove from heat. Let stand 5 minutes. Fluff with fork and sprinkle with walnuts. Makes 4 servings.
Recipe
She adjusted the recipe to fit what was in her refrigerator.
She raved about the results. Here, in her own words, is what she did.
"I was interested in a way to do left-over rice, possibly mixing in the left over vegetables I had. Vegetables were cauliflower, carrots,and broccoli that had been marinated in a "Robust Italian Dressing and then steamed. Using this recipe, I quickly stir-fried the vegetables (had enough oil already on them), added the chicken broth, soy sauce,
and sherry and followed the rest of the directions. Yummy!!! Even the left-overs were very good. I'll be using this part of the recipe for any left-over rice. Very flavorful. Talk to you later. Have a great day."
So, now we have a new recipe. And it does sound good. Jane said that if she had food like this on a regular basis, she'd turn vegetarian.
