Bear With Rice Food

YELLOW RICE

Steps:

• Heat the oil in a medium saucepan, with a tight-fitting lid, over medium-high heat. Add the onion, pepper, and annatto, and cook, stirring, until somewhat soft, about 2 minutes. Add the rice and cook, stirring, until toasted, about 2 minutes more. Add water, salt, and bay leaf and bring to a boil. Wrap the lid tightly with a kitchen towel. Cover the rice, lower the heat to a simmer, cook for 20 minutes.
• Remove the rice from the heat and set aside, covered, for 10 minutes. Remove the lid and fluff the rice with a fork. Serve with the black beans.
• Put the beans in a large saucepan, add the water and bay leaf, and bring to a boil. Set aside, covered, for 1 hour.
• Return the beans to a boil, lower the heat to a simmer, cook uncovered, for 1 1/2 hours.
• Heat the oil in a medium skillet over medium-high heat. Add the onion and peppers and cook, stirring, until soft, about 5 minutes. Add the garlic, cumin, oregano, and coriander and cook, stirring, until fragrant, about 1 minute more. Add the onion mixture to the beans and continue simmering until the beans are very tender and the liquid has thickened, about 1 1/2 hours more.
• If the beans seem too thick, adjust the consistency with a little bit of water. Stir in the vinegar, season with the salt, cayenne, and pepper to taste. Serve.
• Yield: about 4 side dish servings

• Sauté until tender@8-10 minutes.

• I like to mash a few of the beans with the back of a spoon to flavor the sauce.
• Note: if you do not have Sazòn Goya an appropriate substitute would be ground cumin, chicken bouillon, and garlic salt to taste.

SLEEPING RICE BEAR EGG BLANKET RECIPE BY TASTY

Steps:

• Cook the garlic in the sesame oil until garlic starts to brown slightly.
• Add the soy sauce and rice, mixing until the rice is evenly coated. Set aside.
• Beat the eggs with the salt in a medium bowl.
• Pour the egg mixture into a nonstick pan over low heat, and swirl the egg around the pan into a perfect circle. Cook on low heat until the egg is cooked through, then remove from heat.
• Mold the rice into 2 large oval shapes, the larger one for the body and smaller one for the head. Make the arms and legs by molding the rice into 4 small cylinder shapes. Make the ears by forming small half circles with the rice.
• Cut 2 circles from the cheese using a bottle cap. Slice one of the circles in half. These will be the ears, and the full circle will be the nose.
• Slice a 1½-inch (4 cm) strip from the large egg circle, and roll that up for the pillow.
• Using scissors, cut 2 extremely short and thin strips from the seaweed for the eyes. Cut a small triangle for the nose.
• To assemble, place the pillow on the edge of the plate, and plate the head on top at an angle. Place the body next to the head, followed by the 4 arms and legs.
• Place the two rice ears on the bear, then the two cheese ears on the rice ears. Place the cheese nose farther down on the face, then place the seaweed triangle in the middle of that. Carefully place the two "eyes" next to the nose.
• Lay the egg blanket over the sleeping bear, making sure to tuck him in afterwards!
• Enjoy!
