GREEN ONION RICE
Another one of my recipes to give me that "rice-a-roni" flavor without the sodium trauma. Tried this out on Fathers Day and it was a big hit. I did this recipe with brown jasmine rice, which took longer than this recipe states. Tastes amazing, but just remember it will take about an hour.

Steps:
- In a high-sided nonstick pot or wok, combine the cooked rice, cooked shrimp or shrimp meat, green onions, chili peppers (if desired) and water. Cook over high heat, stirring often to mix well and prevent sticking, until all ingredients are thoroughly heated and most of the water is gone, about 8 minutes.
- Turn the heat to high and stir for 1 more minute as the pot gets hotter. Add the nuoc cham (recipe#502823) and stir rapidly to mix thoroughly. Continue to cook over high heat, stirring constantly, until most of the liquid has evaporated, about 3 minutes. Remove from heat and serve.

Tips:
- Use high-quality rice: Long grain rice, such as basmati or jasmine, works best for this recipe. It cooks up light and fluffy, and it has a delicate flavor that won't overpower the other ingredients.
- Rinse the rice before cooking: This removes the starch from the rice, which helps prevent it from clumping together. It also helps to reduce the cooking time.
- Use a good quality chicken broth: The chicken broth is the base of the flavor for this dish, so it's important to use a good quality broth. Look for a broth that is made with real chicken and that has a rich flavor.
- Don't overcook the rice: Rice is done cooking when it is tender and fluffy, but still has a slight bite to it. Overcooked rice is mushy and bland.
- Add the green onions and sesame seeds at the end: This will help to preserve their flavor and color.
Conclusion:
Green onion rice is a simple but flavorful dish that is perfect for a quick and easy weeknight meal. It can be served as a side dish or as a main course. If you're looking for a delicious and healthy way to enjoy rice, this recipe is definitely worth trying.
