GREEN ONION RICE



Green Onion Rice image

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.

Categories     Rice Sides

Time 35m

Number Of Ingredients 7

1/4 cup butter, cubed
2 cups uncooked long grain rice
4 cups vegetable broth
1 teaspoon vegetable base
5-6 green onions, thinly chopped
1/2 cup slivered almonds, toasted
soy sauce , to taste

Steps:

  • 1. In a medium saucepan, melt butter. Add rice; cook and stir for 3-5 minutes or until lightly browned.
  • 2. Add broth and base; bring to a boil. Reduce heat; cover and simmer for 15-20 minutes or until rice is tender and liquid is absorbed.
  • 3. Remove from the heat; stir in the onions and soy sauce. Cover and let stand for 5 minutes. Stir in almonds. Add soy sauce to taste.

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.
