BASMATI RICE WITH COCONUT MILK AND GINGER



Basmati Rice With Coconut Milk And Ginger image

A perfectly cooked pot of plain white rice is a beautiful thing indeed. But basmati rice that's been cooked in a mixture of chicken broth and coconut milk then seasoned with a little chopped fresh ginger and scallions? That's borderline transcendent. The ginger doesn't overpower the rice here - you'll taste the mellow coconut first and the kicky notes of ginger second - so it makes an ideal accompaniment to stir-fries and braises.

ROASTED SALMON WITH MISO RICE AND GINGER-SCALLION VINAIGRETTE



Roasted Salmon With Miso Rice and Ginger-Scallion Vinaigrette image

This simple weeknight meal makes great use of pantry staples to create complex flavors with minimal work. Miso is often used to flavor soups or sauces, and here, it is added to raw rice before cooking, which results in a delightfully sticky, savory steamed rice. Fragrant and nutty basmati is called for, but any long-grain rice will work. Shredded cabbage brings freshness and crunch to the finished dish, but use whatever crispy vegetable you have on hand: shredded brussels sprouts, carrots, snap peas, radishes and iceberg lettuce are all great options. For a heftier meal, add some canned chickpeas, white beans or black beans. To finish, the vibrant tang of the bright ginger-scallion vinaigrette balances the richness of the roasted salmon.

Time 30m

Yield 4 servings

Number Of Ingredients 11

1/4 cup white or sweet miso
1 1/2 cups basmati or other long-grain rice
4 (6-ounce) skin-on salmon fillets
2 tablespoons extra-virgin olive oil
Kosher salt and black pepper
1/4 cup low-sodium soy sauce
1/4 cup chopped scallions, plus more for garnish
1 tablespoon distilled white vinegar or unseasoned rice vinegar
1 tablespoon minced fresh ginger
4 cups finely shredded cabbage, such as green, Napa or savoy (about 8 ounces)
Roasted sesame oil, for serving

Steps:

  • Heat oven to 425 degrees. In a medium saucepan, whisk miso with 2 1/4 cups water until dissolved. Stir in rice and bring to a boil. Cover, reduce heat to low and cook until all of the liquid is absorbed and rice is tender, about 15 minutes. Remove from heat and let stand for 5 minutes. Fluff rice with a fork (it will be a little sticky).
  • On a rimmed baking sheet, rub salmon all over with olive oil, season with salt and pepper and arrange skin-side up. Roast until fish is just opaque and cooked to medium, 8 to 10 minutes.
  • In a small bowl, combine soy sauce, scallions, vinegar and ginger, and season with salt and pepper.
  • Divide miso rice and cabbage among bowls. Top with salmon, ginger-scallion vinaigrette and sesame oil.

GINGER FRIED RICE



Ginger Fried Rice image

This recipe comes to The Times from the fertile mind of the chef Jean-Georges Vongerichten. Like all fried-rice dishes it begins with leftover rice (freshly cooked rice is too moist to fry well). It's jasmine rice here, but white from Chinese takeout works nearly as well and is more convenient. Perhaps unsurprisingly - this is a chef's recipe, after all - separate cooking processes are called for: ginger and garlic are crisped, leeks softened, rice and eggs fried. But no step takes more than a few minutes, and the results are absolutely worth the effort.

Provided by Mark Bittman

Categories     dinner, easy, quick, weekday, weeknight, one pot, main course, side dish

Time 30m

Yield 4 servings

Number Of Ingredients 9

1/2 cup peanut oil
2 tablespoons minced garlic
2 tablespoons minced ginger
Salt
2 cups thinly sliced leeks, white and light green parts only, rinsed and dried
4 cups day-old cooked rice, preferably jasmine, at room temperature
4 large eggs
2 teaspoons sesame oil
4 teaspoons soy sauce

Steps:

  • In a large skillet, heat 1/4 cup peanut oil over medium heat. Add garlic and ginger and cook, stirring occasionally, until crisp and brown. With a slotted spoon, transfer to paper towels and salt lightly.
  • Reduce heat under skillet to medium-low and add 2 tablespoons peanut oil and leeks. Cook about 10 minutes, stirring occasionally, until very tender but not browned. Season lightly with salt.
  • Raise heat to medium and add rice. Cook, stirring well, until heated through. Season to taste with salt.
  • In a nonstick skillet, fry eggs in remaining peanut oil, sunny-side-up, until edges are set but yolk is still runny.
  • Divide rice among four dishes. Top each with an egg and drizzle with 1/2 teaspoon sesame oil and 1 teaspoon soy sauce. Sprinkle crisped garlic and ginger over everything and serve.

SALMON RICE BOWLS WITH COCONUT-GINGER BROTH



Salmon Rice Bowls with Coconut-Ginger Broth image

This rice bowl dinner is inspired by the Island Bowls that Chef Rawlston Williams serves at The Food Sermon in Crown Heights, Brooklyn. Originally from the Caribbean island nation of St. Vincent and the Grenadines, Rawlston takes inspiration from West Indian flavors and techniques to build his modern fast-casual bowls. We love how he pours coconut broth around the outside of a rice bowl, and borrowed that technique (but not his recipe), then simplified and streamlined a home cook-friendly version. Spreading mayonnaise on top of the salmon fillets helps the spiced panko stay put and keeps the fish moist while it roasts.

Yield 4 servings

Number Of Ingredients 20

For the Salmon:
3 Tbsp. virgin coconut oil
1/2 cup panko (Japanese breadcrumbs)
1/2 tsp. freshly ground black pepper
1/2 tsp. smoked paprika
1/4 tsp. cayenne pepper
1 1/4 tsp. kosher salt, divided
4 (4-6-oz.) salmon fillets
2 Tbsp. mayonnaise
For the Broth, Beans and Greens, and Assembly:
1 (14.5-oz.) can coconut milk
2 Tbsp. finely grated ginger (from one 3" piece)
1 tsp. sugar
1 1/2 tsp. kosher salt, divided
1 Tbsp. fresh lime juice
2 Tbsp. virgin coconut oil
1 (14.5-oz.) can chickpeas, kidney beans, or black beans, drained, rinsed
1 bunch curly kale, stems removed, torn into small pieces
4 cups steamed rice
Lime wedges (for serving)

Steps:

  • Cook the Salmon:
  • Preheat oven to 400°F. Heat oil in a large skillet over medium until melted. Add panko, pepper, paprika, cayenne, and 1/2 tsp. salt. Cook, stirring constantly, until panko is golden brown, 2-3 minutes. Transfer to a paper-towel-lined plate. Wipe skillet clean; reserve for beans and greens.
  • Line a quarter sheet pan or other small rimmed baking dish with parchment paper, then arrange salmon fillets skin side down; season with remaining 3/4 tsp. salt. Using a small spoon or offset spatula, spread mayonnaise across salmon, then sprinkle spiced panko over, pressing lightly to adhere. Roast until salmon is opaque, 8-10 minutes.
  • Make the Broth and Beans and Greens and Assemble:
  • Heat coconut milk, ginger, sugar, 1 tsp. salt, and 1/4 cup water in a small pot over medium and bring to a boil. Immediately remove from heat and stir in lime juice.
  • Heat oil in reserved skillet over medium until melted. Add beans and kale, then cover pan and cook, stirring once halfway through, until kale is wilted, 2-3 minutes. Season with remaining 1/2 tsp. salt and stir to combine.
  • Divide rice among bowls, then top with beans and greens mixture. Using a fish spatula, lift each fillet up off its skin-the skin will stick to the paper-and arrange in each bowl. Pour in coconut broth. Serve with lime wedges alongside.

CHICKEN AND RICE SOUP WITH GINGER AND TURMERIC



Chicken and Rice Soup With Ginger and Turmeric image

Many countries have some form of creamy rice porridge in their culinary canon, such as Chinese congee, Filipino lugaw or arroz caldo and Korean juk, to name just a few. Seasonings vary, but all call for simmering a little bit of rice with a lot of liquid until the grains tenderize and break down to create a deeply comforting soup. Ideal for those harboring colds or seeking comfort, this brothy chicken-and-rice soup begins with poaching an entire chicken, which takes time, but guarantees tender meat. The rendered fat creates a rich, flavorful broth, while coriander and turmeric add earthy notes. Fresh cilantro, red chile and ginger brighten the dish.

Provided by Alexa Weibel

Categories     dinner, poultry, soups and stews, main course

Time 1h15m

Yield 8 servings

Number Of Ingredients 12

3 tablespoons neutral oil, such as canola or vegetable oil
5 scallions, thinly sliced crosswise (about 3/4 cup), plus 1 to 2 scallions, thinly sliced on an angle, for garnish
5 garlic cloves, finely chopped
3 tablespoons finely chopped fresh ginger (from one 3-inch piece), plus extra julienned ginger, for garnish
4 teaspoons ground coriander
1 tablespoon ground turmeric
Kosher salt and black pepper
1 1/2 cups short-grain brown rice or Arborio rice (10 ounces)
3 quarts chicken stock
3 bunches baby bok choy (about 1 pound)
1 (3- to 4-pound) chicken, wings and legs removed and reserved (this will help the chicken fit better in the pot)
Sliced fresh red chile and chopped cilantro, for serving

Steps:

  • In a large pot, combine the oil with 3/4 cup scallions, the garlic, finely chopped ginger, coriander and turmeric. Season with salt and pepper, and cook over medium-low, stirring occasionally, until slightly softened, about 5 minutes.
  • Add the rice and stir until coated. Add the chicken stock and 2 teaspoons salt, and bring to a boil over high. Meanwhile, prepare the bok choy: Trim and discard the ends, then halve crosswise, separating the leafy bok choy tops from the heftier stems. Cut the stems crosswise into 1/2-inch pieces. Set aside.
  • Once the stock comes to a boil, reduce the heat to medium-low and carefully add the whole chicken, then the wings and legs, adding the meat in a single layer. (If the chicken isn't fully submerged, add enough water until the meat is fully covered.) Cover the pot with a lid, leaving the lid cracked open about 1 inch, and simmer over medium-low until the chicken is cooked through, about 20 to 25 minutes. (Reduce the heat to low if necessary. You want to keep it at a low simmer to ensure the chicken stays tender.) Transfer the chicken to a large bowl.
  • Continue to cook the soup over medium, uncovered, until the rice is tender and the liquid starts to thicken, 20 to 25 minutes. While the rice continues to cook, shred the chicken: Once cool, discard the chicken skin and tear the meat into bite-size pieces, discarding the bones. (You should have about 3 packed cups of shredded meat.)
  • Stir the bok choy stems and shredded chicken into the soup, and simmer just until stems are slightly softened, 2 to 3 minutes. Stir in the leafy bok choy tops, and season to taste with salt.
  • Divide among bowls and serve with bowls of chile, cilantro, sliced scallions and julienned ginger, to garnish.

CHICKEN AND RICE WITH SCALLION-GINGER SAUCE



Chicken and Rice With Scallion-Ginger Sauce image

Chicken and rice is a favorite combination around the world. This version, an Asian-inspired one-pot meal, coaxes a lot of flavor out of a limited ingredient list. Rinsing rice until the water runs clear helps remove extra starch on the outside of the grains and will make rice less gummy when cooked. The most essential step when cooking rice on the stovetop is to resist the urge to peek under the lid; the telltale sign that the rice is done is when the steam rising from under the lid has subsided. (In the early stages of cooking rice, there may be visible steam escaping the saucepan, but as the moisture is absorbed by the rice, you may notice less steam.)

Provided by Sue Li

Categories     dinner, weeknight, grains and rice, one pot, poultry, main course

Time 45m

Yield 4 servings

Number Of Ingredients 12

1 1/2 cups sushi rice (or other short-grain white rice)
2 cups chicken broth
1 (3-inch) piece fresh ginger, peeled and grated (about 3 tablespoons)
4 boneless, skinless chicken breasts (about 2 pounds)
Kosher salt and pepper
1/4 cup vegetable oil
6 scallions, trimmed and thinly sliced
2 tablespoons unseasoned rice vinegar
1 jalapeño, halved, seeded, then thinly sliced
2 teaspoons toasted white sesame seeds
1 teaspoon sesame oil
1/2 teaspoon granulated sugar

Steps:

  • Place rice in a fine-mesh sieve and rinse under cold water, shaking gently, until the water runs clear. In a medium saucepan, combine rice, broth and 1 tablespoon grated ginger. Season chicken all over with salt and pepper and place on top of rice mixture. Cover and bring mixture to a boil over high. Once mixture comes to a boil, reduce heat to medium-low and simmer until rice is plump, broth is absorbed and chicken is cooked through, 20 to 22 minutes. Turn off heat and let rest, covered, 10 minutes.
  • Meanwhile, in a medium bowl, combine the vegetable oil, scallions, vinegar, jalapeño, sesame seeds, sesame oil, sugar and remaining ginger; season with salt and pepper.
  • Remove chicken from saucepan and slice 1/2-inch thick crosswise. Fluff rice with a fork and divide among bowls. Top with chicken and scallion-ginger sauce.

Tips:

  • Choose the right rice: Use a short-grain rice like sushi rice or Calrose rice. These varieties have a higher starch content, which makes them more sticky and perfect for ginger rice.
  • Rinse the rice well: Rinsing the rice removes the starch from the surface, which helps to prevent the rice from becoming gummy.
  • Use fresh ginger: Fresh ginger has a more intense flavor than ground ginger. If you don't have fresh ginger, you can use 1/4 teaspoon of ground ginger instead.
  • Don't overcook the rice: Overcooked rice will be mushy and unpleasant. Cook the rice according to the package directions and then remove it from the heat as soon as it is done.
  • Let the rice cool slightly before serving: This will help to prevent the rice from sticking together.

Conclusion:

Ginger rice is a delicious and versatile side dish that can be served with a variety of Asian-inspired dishes. It's easy to make and can be tailored to your own taste preferences. Whether you like it mild or spicy, ginger rice is sure to please everyone at your table.
