**Scallion Rice: A Simple Yet Flavorful Dish**
Scallion rice, also known as cong you bing in Chinese, is a beloved dish in many Asian countries. It is a simple yet flavorful dish made with rice, scallions, and a few other ingredients. The rice is cooked in a mixture of oil and scallions, giving it a slightly crispy texture and a delicious savory flavor. This dish is often served as a side dish or as a main course with other dishes such as stir-fried vegetables, meat, or fish. It is also a popular breakfast or brunch dish. In this article, we will provide you with two recipes for scallion rice: a classic recipe and a vegetarian recipe. Both recipes are easy to follow and can be made with ingredients that are readily available. So, let's get started and learn how to make this delicious and versatile dish!
ROASTED SALMON WITH MISO RICE AND GINGER-SCALLION VINAIGRETTE
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.

CHICKEN AND RICE WITH SCALLION-GINGER SAUCE
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.)

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.

BANANA LEAF WRAPPED BASS WITH SCALLION-GINGER FRIED RICE
Steps:
- Add water to a medium pot, fitted with a steamer insert, and bring to a boil.
- Coat a large wok heavily with 2 tablespoons grapeseed oil and heat until the oil is almost smoking. Meanwhile, season the eggs with salt and pepper. Add the eggs to the heated oil and stir vigorously until puffed and cooked through, about 2 minutes. Remove from the wok and set aside in a bowl. To the same wok, add another 2 tablespoons grapeseed oil and heat until hot, then add the garlic, 2 tablespoons scallions and 1 tablespoon ginger and saute for 1 minute. Add the rice and eggs back in, mixing gently. Season with the tamari and sesame oil. Mix well to combine. Remove from the heat and let cool slightly.
- Lay a banana leaf on your work surface. Place about 1/4 cup cooled rice in the middle. Sprinkle a piece of fish on both sides with salt and pepper and place on top of the rice. Top with a few Thai basil sprigs. Fold the banana leaf and wrap tightly, similar to wrapping a sandwich in foil or plastic wrap. Repeat with the remaining fish. Carefully place each piece of wrapped fish in a steamer insert, seam-side down. Add the tea leaves to the simmering water and set the filled steamer insert over the water and cover. Steam until the fish is cooked through, about 12 minutes.
- Meanwhile, when is the fish has about 3 minutes left, heat the olive oil in a small saucepan.
- Cut the fish packets open with scissors, then top each pieces of fish with the remaining 2 tablespoons scallions and tablespoon ginger. Spoon the hot olive oil over the top of each piece of fish and serve.
SPICY SHRIMP AND TOMATOES WITH SCALLION RICE
The sauce for these shrimp is made by simply tossing quickly sauteed tomatoes and shrimp in a bowl with what is known as compound butter: room temperature butter that has been flavored by mashing in something tasty like herbs or seasoning--in this case, lemon zest and hot sauce. You can make the butter and cook the shrimp and tomatoes in the time it takes to cook the rice.

Steps:
- Melt 2 tablespoons of the butter in a medium saucepan over medium heat; add the scallion whites and cook, stirring occasionally, until soft and translucent, about 3 minutes. Add 1 1/2 cups water, the rice, 1/2 teaspoon salt and the bay leaf, increase the heat to medium high and bring to a simmer. Stir a few times, cover, reduce the heat to low and simmer until the rice is tender and the water is absorbed, about 17 minutes. Remove from the heat and set aside.
- Meanwhile, zest the lemon into a large mixing bowl and add the remaining 4 tablespoons butter, the hot sauce and a pinch of salt. Stir until well combined. Gently stir in half of the parsley, reserving the remaining parsley for garnish. Cut the zested lemon into wedges and reserve.
- Sprinkle the shrimp liberally with salt and pepper. Heat 1 tablespoon of the olive oil in a large skillet over medium-high heat. Add the tomatoes and some salt and cook, shaking the skillet frequently, until the tomatoes just start to pop, about 5 minutes. Transfer to the mixing bowl with the butter. Heat the remaining 1 tablespoon olive oil in the skillet. Add the shrimp and cook until the bottoms turn pink, about 1 1/2 minutes; flip and cook until just cooked through, about 1 minute more. Add the shrimp to the tomatoes and toss gently to coat everything with the butter and mush the tomatoes a bit more.
- Fluff the rice and stir in the scallion greens. Divide the rice among 4 dinner plates, top with the shrimp, tomatoes and sauce, scatter the remaining parsley leaves over the top and put a lemon wedge on each plate. Serve immediately, with extra hot sauce.

Steps:
- In a 3- to 4-quart saucepan or skillet, heat 1 tablespoon of sesame oil over medium heat. Add the scallion whites, 1/4 teaspoon of salt, and a pinch of pepper. Cook, stirring often, until tender but not browned, about 5 minutes.
- Add the rice and cook, stirring often, until it begins to crackle, 2 to 3 minutes.
- Add the chicken broth, lime zest, 1 teaspoons salt and 1/4 teaspoons pepper; bring to a boil. Cover and turn the heat down to low. Cook until the rice is tender and the liquid is absorbed, about 18 minutes. The trick to perfect is rice is not to lift the lid or stir during this stage. Leave it alone until all the liquid is absorbed.
- Remove from the heat and using a fork, fluff the scallion greens, 1 tablespoon of sesame oil, and the lime juice into the rice. Let rest 5 minutes.
- Sprinkle with toasted sesame seeds and serve.

SCALLION WILD RICE CREPES, MUSHROOM FILLED W/ RED PEPPER SAUCE
From Gourmet Magazine (November 2002) these savory crepes are the perfect vegetarian entree for a fancy dinner party. Each component can be made 2-days ahead, then assembled at the last minute. Not difficult to make, but there are a lot of steps. The result is worth the effort! Recipe by Shelly Wiseman. (Can substitute jarred roasted red peppers. And green onions are the same as a scallion...) Edited to add: Sauted portabello strips can completely replace all the fussiness with the dried mushrooms. I also served this with creamed spinach in place of the red pepper sauce. Just depends on what color looks best to you.

Steps:
- Make crêpe batter:.
- Bring 4 cups water to a boil in a 2-quart heavy saucepan, then add rice and 1/2 teaspoon salt. Reduce heat and cook, covered, over low heat until rice is tender and grains are split open, 1 to 1 1/4 hours (not all liquid will be absorbed). Drain well in a colander and cool to warm.
- Blend together milk, eggs, 3 tablespoons butter, flour, pepper, remaining teaspoon salt, and 1 cup cooked wild rice in a blender until smooth, about 1 minute. Transfer to a large bowl and stir in scallions and 1 1/2 cups cooked wild rice (reserve remainder for another use). Let batter stand, covered, at room temperature 1 hour.
- Make sauce while rice cooks:.
- Roast bell peppers on racks of gas burners over high heat, turning with tongs, until skins are blackened, 10 to 12 minutes. (Or broil peppers on a broiler pan about 5 inches from heat, turning occasionally, about 15 minutes.) Transfer to a large bowl and cover tightly with plastic wrap, then let stand 20 minutes.
- When cool enough to handle, peel peppers, discarding stems and seeds, and coarsely chop.
- Purée peppers with water, oil, vinegar, and salt in cleaned blender until smooth. Season with pepper and pour into a small heavy saucepan.
- Make filling while batter stands:.
- Soak porcini in boiling-hot water in a small bowl until softened, about 20 minutes. Lift porcini out, squeezing liquid back into bowl, then rinse porcini (to remove any grit) and finely chop. Pour soaking liquid through a sieve lined with a dampened paper towel into another small bowl.
- Heat oil and 1 tablespoon butter in a 12- to 13-inch nonstick skillet over moderately high heat until foam subsides, then sauté porcini and cremini mushrooms, tossing with 2 wooden spatulas or spoons, until wilted and any liquid mushrooms give off is evaporated, 3 to 5 minutes. Add garlic, rosemary, thyme, salt, and remaining tablespoon butter and sauté, stirring, 1 minute. Add porcini soaking liquid and boil until most of liquid is evaporated and mushrooms are tender, 3 to 5 minutes. Season with salt and pepper.
- Cook and assemble crêpes:.
- Line a plate with 1 square of wax paper. Heat crêpe pan over moderate heat until hot, then brush lightly with some melted butter. Spoon about 1/3 cup batter into pan, tilting and rotating to coat bottom. (If batter sets before skillet is coated, reduce heat slightly for next crêpe.) Cook until underside is lightly browned, about 1 minute, then loosen crêpe with a heatproof plastic spatula and flip over with your fingers. Cook crêpe until other side is lightly browned, about 1 minute, and transfer to wax-paper-lined plate. Top crêpe with another square of wax paper. Make more crêpes with remaining batter, brushing pan lightly with butter as needed. (You will have extra crêpes.).
- Preheat oven to 400°F.
- Brush some melted butter on bottom of a large shallow baking pan (1 inch deep). Spread 1/4 cup filling centered over half of 1 crêpe, then fold other half over filling to form a half-moon. Fold half-moon in thirds, overlapping outer sections (making a cone shape), and transfer to baking pan. Repeat procedure with 11 more crêpes, arranging in 1 layer in baking pan.
- Brush crêpes generously with remaining melted butter and bake in upper third of oven until outsides are crisp and filling is heated through, about 15 minutes.
- While crêpes are baking, heat sauce over low heat until hot, about 5 minutes.
- Put sauce on each of 6 plates and top with 2 crêpes.
- Cooks' notes:.
- Wild rice can be cooked 2 days ahead and cooled, uncovered, then chilled, covered.
- Red pepper sauce can be made 2 days ahead and chilled, covered.
- Filling can be made 1 day ahead and cooled, uncovered, then chilled, covered.
- Crêpes can be made and filled 1 day ahead and chilled, wrapped in foil. Brush with melted butter just before baking.

CHICKEN WITH SCALLION-LIME SAUCE AND SWEET CARROT RICE
Steps:
- Heat a medium pot with a tight-fitting lid over medium-high heat. Add about 1 tablespoon of the EVOO, once around the pan. Add the grated carrots and a little salt and pepper and cook, stirring, for 1 minute. Add the rice and stir to coat in the oil and distribute the carrots. Add 2 1/2 cups of the chicken stock. Bring the stock to a boil, cover the pot, and reduce the heat to a simmer. Cook for 15 to 18 minutes, until the rice is tender.
- Preheat a large skillet over medium-high heat. While the pan is heating up, combine 2 tablespoons of the EVOO, the thyme, lime zest, salt, and pepper in a shallow dish. Add the chicken breasts and coat thoroughly in the mixture. Add the seasoned chicken to the skillet and cook for 5 to 6 minutes on each side, or until cooked through. Transfer the chicken to a plate and cover it loosely with aluminum foil. Return the skillet to the heat; add the remaining tablespoon of EVOO. Add the garlic, red pepper flakes, and coriander. Cook, stirring constantly, for about 1 minute, then add the scallions and cook for 1 minute, again stirring constantly. Add the lime juice and the remaining 1/2 cup of chicken stock and continue to cook for about 2 minutes. Turn the heat off and add the parsley and butter, stirring and shaking the pan until the butter is completely melted.
- To serve, slice the chicken on a slight angle. Divide the rice among 4 serving plates and top each pile of rice with a sliced chicken breast. Pour some scallion-lime sauce over each chicken breast.
Tips:
- Choose the right type of rice: For this recipe, it is recommended to use either long-grain white rice or jasmine rice. These types of rice will hold their shape and not become too mushy.
- Rinse the rice: Rinsing the rice before cooking will help to remove any excess starch, resulting in fluffier rice.
- Use a tight-fitting lid: When cooking the rice, it is important to use a tight-fitting lid to trap the steam and ensure that the rice cooks evenly.
- Let the rice rest: After the rice has finished cooking, let it rest for a few minutes before fluffing it with a fork. This will help the rice to absorb any remaining moisture and prevent it from sticking together.
- Use fresh scallions: Fresh scallions will provide the best flavor for this recipe. If you don't have fresh scallions, you can substitute dried scallions, but be sure to reduce the amount you use, as they are more concentrated.
- Don't overcrowd the pan: When cooking the rice, be sure not to overcrowd the pan. This will prevent the rice from cooking evenly.
- Season to taste: Once the rice is cooked, season it to taste with salt and pepper. You can also add other seasonings, such as garlic powder, onion powder, or chili powder.
Conclusion:
Scallion rice is a simple but flavorful dish that can be enjoyed as a side dish or as a main course. It is a great way to use up leftover rice, and it is also a good option for a quick and easy meal. With its simple ingredients and delicious taste, scallion rice is a dish that everyone will enjoy.
