Categories     Soup/Stew     Pork     Boil

Yield 2 servings

Number Of Ingredients 9

1 Tbsp canola oil
1 tsp minced garlic
1 tsp grated fresh ginger
1 c finely sliced kale leaves
1/4 c instant brown rice
2 c chicken broth
1 c thin strips of leftover cooked pork tenderloin (Herb-Crusted Pork Tenderloin recipe)
2 Tbsp slivered jarred roasted red peppers
1 tsp sesame seeds, toasted

Steps:

  • 1. In a large saucepan, combine oil, garlic, and ginger. Cook, stirring, over medium heat until fragrant, about 1 minute. Add kale. Cook, stirring, about 2 minutes. 2. Add rice and broth. Bring almost to a broil. Simmer for 8 minutes. 3. Stir in pork and peppers. Simmer for 2 minutes. Serve sprinkled with seasame seeds.

Tips:

  • Use high-quality rice: Choose a variety of rice that is known for its flavor and texture, such as jasmine rice or basmati rice.
  • Rinse the rice thoroughly: This will remove any dirt or starch from the rice and help it cook evenly.
  • Use the right amount of water: The ratio of rice to water is essential for achieving the perfect consistency. Generally, you should use 1 cup of rice to 2 cups of water.
  • Bring the water to a boil before adding the rice: This will help prevent the rice from sticking to the bottom of the pot.
  • Reduce the heat to low and simmer the rice until it is cooked through: This should take about 15-20 minutes. Do not lift the lid during this time, as this will release steam and prevent the rice from cooking evenly.
  • Let the rice rest for a few minutes before serving: This will allow the rice to absorb any remaining liquid and become fluffy.
  • Season the rice to taste: You can add salt, pepper, or other spices to the rice before serving.
