Recipe time! I made this for dinner last night and thought I would share with all of you. This recipe is super easy, and has quickly become one of our staples, especially because I almost always have everything I need in my pantry and fridge. For all my gluten/dairy free friends this recipe is for you! Just switch out the soy sauce with your gluten free soy sauce and use I can't believe its not butter (or whatever one you prefer) in the fried rice. ...Hope you enjoy it!
Pineapple Chicken:
-Two thawed boneless, skinless chicken breasts
-1 Can of Pineapple slices (with juices)
-1 Cup Soy sauce
-1 Tablespoon minced garlic
-1 Tablespoon fresh ginger (I use the kind that comes in a jar)
-3 Tablespoons sugar
Combine all the ingredients above in a Zip-lock and let it marinate for at least 1/2 hour. Then put the chicken on a BBQ an cook it up (usually takes 10-15 minutes depending on the size of you chicken breasts). Put the pineapple on for the last 5 minutes or so, you don't want it to get mushy, just warm and grilled!
Fried Rice:
-2 Cups Cooked White Rice
-1/2 Cup Soy Sauce
-1-2 Eggs depending on how big they are.
-4 Green Onions, diced
- 2 Teaspoons Garlic Powder
- 2 Teaspoons Pepper
- 1/3 Cup Butter
1. In a pan on the stove top, melt your butter and let it brown a little.
2. Add the green onions and cook for about 3 minutes, you just want them to soften. Add the rice to the pan, and stir it thoroughly. You want to make sure that all of it gets coated in the butter. Press it down it down into the pan and let it cook for a few minutes.
3. Next add the soy sauce, add a little at a time. Its really easy to add too much, and once you add to much there is nothing you can do to fix it (I've tried). You want the soy sauce to turn the rice a light brown.
4. Next push all the rice to one side of the pan an add your egg in the empty space. Once it starts to cook, scramble it then mix it slowly in with the rice. You may have to break up the bigger pieces of egg.
5. The last thing you need to do is add your spices and your done!
This rice is so easy and yummy, Patrick asks me to make it all the time....
Bon Appetit!
Yummy! Can't wait to try this!
ReplyDeleteSounds yummy! Do you know if you can make the fried rice with brown rice instead of white rice? Or would that just be really yucky? :P
ReplyDeleteI've never made it with brown rice, but it should be fine....you'd probably just have to be extra careful with the liquids because I know brown rice gets gummy pretty easily....if you try it let us know how it works out!
