15-MINUTE ASIAN RICE SALAD



15-Minute Asian Rice Salad image

This comforting salad is ready in just 15 minutes. To keep the prep time to a minimum, grate fresh ginger instead of finely chopping it, use kitchen shears instead of a knife to snip off the stems of the shiitake mushrooms and purchase pre-cooked brown rice, grated carrots and shelled edamame.

Provided by Food Network Kitchen

Time 15m

Yield 4 servings

Number Of Ingredients 13

2-inch piece ginger
1/3 cup extra-virgin olive oil
1/3 cup rice wine vinegar
3 tablespoons soy sauce
4 teaspoons toasted sesame oil
Kosher salt and freshly ground black pepper
6 ounces shiitake mushrooms (about 4 cups), stems removed
2 scallions
1 cup frozen shelled edamame, thawed
4 cups store-bought pre-cooked or leftover brown rice
2 breasts from a rotisserie chicken
1 cup shredded carrots
5 ounces baby arugula

Steps:

  • Peel the ginger and finely grate it in to a large mixing bowl. Whisk in the olive oil, vinegar, soy sauce and sesame oil. Season with some salt and pepper. Reserve 2 tablespoons of the dressing and set aside. Thinly slice the mushrooms and scallions, keeping the white and green parts of the scallions separate. Add the sliced mushrooms, scallion whites and the edamame to the dressing in the large mixing bowl. Stir to combine and then marinate at room temperature (the mushrooms will become more tender while they sit in the dressing) while you prepare the rest of the ingredients, stirring occasionally. Reserve the sliced scallion greens to use as garnish.
  • Place the rice in a glass mixing bowl and break it up using a fork. Place a damp paper towel directly on top of the rice and place in the microwave; cook until just warmed through and softened, about 3 minutes.
  • Meanwhile, remove the skin from the chicken and shred the meat in to large bite-size pieces, about 2 cups. Toss the chicken, warm rice and carrots with the mushrooms and edamame. Season with some salt and pepper.
  • Toss the baby arugula and reserved dressing in a large mixing bowl. Season lightly with salt and pepper. Divide the arugula among 4 large plates and top each with 2 cups of the salad mixture. Garnish with the reserved scallion greens.

ASIAN MEATBALLS WITH RICE NOODLES



Asian Meatballs With Rice Noodles image

Submitted for RSC #9. This whole recipe was a new experience for me...I was so happy it worked out! I made it as a last effort for the contest after 2 failed recipes. I knew what fresh Asian flavors I liked together so that is what inspired the meatballs. I was impressed with how flavorful they turned out! They did end up a little hot so feel free to cut down on the peppers. I loved the rice noodles so much that they will be come a regular quick meal in my home. I love the suggestions from reviewers to bake the meatballs. Why didn't I think of that? I do think the sesame oil is a very important flavor enhancer for the noodles. Thanks to everyone who tried this for the contest!

Steps:

  • Preheat the oven to 400°F. Line a baking pan with aluminum foil and set aside. Finely chop 1 scallion and slice the other 2 into 1 inch bias. In a large bowl, whisk together the chopped scallions, garlic, ginger, egg, soy sauce, oil, five spice, salt and pepper. Add in the chicken, pork and bread crumbs and mix well. Form the mixture into ¾ inch meatballs and place on the prepared baking pan. Place in the oven and bake for about 8 to 10 min, or until lightly browned. Remove and set aside.
  • In the meantime, in a Dutch oven, over high heat, bring the stock to a boil. Lower heat to low, add in the garlic powder, ground ginger, star anise and mushrooms and simmer gently for 10 to 15 min, or until the mushrooms are hydrated and tender. Remove the star anise. Add in the carrots, bok choy and meatballs and simmer until tender, about 10 minute.
  • Cook the rice sticks according to package directions. Drain and evenly divide the noodles amoung 6 large bowls. Thinly slice the mushrooms then arrange the carrots, bok choy, mushrooms and meatballs on top of the noodles. Ladle in the broth, garnish with remaining scallions and serve.

Tips for Making Perfect Asian Rice

  • Choose the right type of rice. Different types of rice have different cooking times and textures. For example, jasmine rice is a long-grain rice that is common in Thai cuisine. It has a light, fluffy texture and a slightly sweet flavor. Basmati rice is another long-grain rice that is common in Indian cuisine. It has a nutty flavor and a slightly drier texture than jasmine rice. Sushi rice is a short-grain rice that is used to make sushi. It has a sticky texture that helps the rice hold together.
  • Rinse the rice before cooking. Rinsing the rice removes excess starch and helps to prevent the rice from sticking together. To rinse the rice, place it in a fine-mesh strainer and rinse it under cold water for 30 seconds to 1 minute, or until the water runs clear.
  • Use the right amount of water. The amount of water you use to cook rice is important. If you use too much water, the rice will be mushy. If you use too little water, the rice will be dry. A good rule of thumb is to use 1 cup of water for every 1/2 cup of rice.
  • Cook the rice over medium heat. Cooking the rice over medium heat helps to prevent the rice from sticking to the bottom of the pot and burning. Once the rice starts to boil, reduce the heat to low and simmer for 18-20 minutes, or until all of the water has been absorbed and the rice is tender.
  • Let the rice rest before serving. Once the rice is cooked, let it rest for 5 minutes before serving. This allows the rice to steam and fluff up.

Conclusion

Asian rice is a versatile and delicious side dish that can be served with a variety of dishes. By following these tips, you can make perfect Asian rice every time.
