HAWAIIAN-STYLE SAUSAGE AND RICE
I used to work where we had a lot of potluck lunches. I just brought the ingredients, already prepared, a rice cooker, and an electric frying pan. I would start the rice about 20 minutes before lunch and cook the rest in the frying pan while everyone else was uncovering and setting out their dishes. My copy of the recipe is getting so tattered I felt I better archive it. I would sorely miss it if lost.

SEARED HAWAIIAN AHI WITH WILD RICE AND BASMATI RICE IN A SHIITAKE TERIYAKI BEURRE BLANC
Steps:
- Season the Ahi with salt and pepper. Heat 2 tablespoons of olive oil in a saute pan over medium-high heat. Sear the Ahi quickly until medium rare, or to your liking, about one minute on each side.
- Set the Ahi aside and cook mushrooms in the same pan. Deglaze with sherry and reduce to medium heat. Add the scallions, teriyaki glaze, and buerre blanc to the pan and heat until combined and slightly thickened, about 3 minutes.
- In another saute pan, heat the remaining olive oil and add the diced vegetables. Cook for 1 minute. Add the wild and basmati rice and season with salt and pepper to taste. When the vegetables are cooked and the rice is warm, pour the Japanese vinaigrette over the rice mixture.
- Place 5 ounces of the rice mixture in the center of each plate. Pour two to three ounces of the Teriyaki buerre blanc mixture on 1/2 of the plate. Slice a 5-ounce portion of the Ahi into strips and fan over the rice and sauce. Garnish with scallions.
- Combine the soy sauce, brown and white sugars, garlic, ginger, Japanese vinegar, and sake, and in a heavy-bottomed saucepot. Bring to a boil (the sauce will flame as the alcohol burns off). Dissolve the arrowroot in the water. Reduce the sauce to a hard simmer and add the arrowroot mixture. Simmer hard for 5 minutes more.
- Beurre Blanc: Combine the wine, shallots, and vinegar in a small saucepan. Bring to a boil over medium-high heat. Continue boiling until 1 tablespoon of liquid remains. Lower the heat and whisk in the butter, piece by piece. When the butter is completely incorporated, remove from heat and salt to taste.
- Japanese Vinaigrette: Combine first 5 ingredients in a stainless steel mixing bowl until blended. Using a wire whisk, pour in sugar and emulsify.

Steps:
- 1. In a small bowl, stir together the soy sauce, sesame oil and hot sauce. Set aside.
- 2. In a large, non-stick skillet, heat 1/2 of the vegetable oil over medium-high heat. Add the diced ham, red bell pepper and the chopped white parts of the green onions. Cook and stir for 5 to 7 minutes, or until ham is browned and bell pepper is crisp-tender. Stir in the garlic and cook another minute. Pour this mixture into a bowl, and set aside.
- 3. Heat the remaining vegetable oil in the same skillet until hot, and then add the cold rice. Cook and stir rice, breaking up the clumps. Cook until rice is thoroughly heated, about 8 minutes.
- 4. Push the rice to one side of the skillet. Crack the eggs onto the other side of skillet and stir until lightly scrambled and set. Stir the eggs and the ham mixture into the rice. Pour the soy sauce mixture into the rice and cook, stirring until combined and hot.
- 5. Turn off the heat, stir in the pineapple and green parts of the onions.
Tips:
- Use high-quality jasmine rice for the best results. Jasmine rice is a long-grain rice with a slightly sticky texture and a delicate floral aroma.
- Rinse the rice thoroughly before cooking to remove any excess starch. This will help to prevent the rice from becoming gummy.
- Use a large pot or Dutch oven to cook the rice. This will give the rice plenty of room to expand and cook evenly.
- Bring the water to a boil over high heat, then reduce the heat to low and simmer the rice for 18-20 minutes, or until all of the water has been absorbed.
- Once the rice is cooked, remove it from the heat and let it rest for 5 minutes before fluffing it with a fork.
- To make the Hawaiian rice more flavorful, add some diced pineapple, shredded coconut, and macadamia nuts.
- You can also add some cooked vegetables, such as broccoli, carrots, or peas, to the rice.
Conclusion:
Hawaiian rice is a delicious and easy-to-make side dish that can be enjoyed with a variety of entrees. The sweet and savory flavors of the pineapple, coconut, and macadamia nuts pair perfectly with the fluffy jasmine rice. This dish is sure to be a hit at your next potluck or party. So next time you're looking for a simple and delicious side dish, give Hawaiian rice a try.
