Brown Rice With Miso Rice Cooker Food

BROWN RICE WITH MISO (RICE COOKER)

Steps:

• Dissolve the miso in 1/4 cup of the water.
• Combine the dissolved miso and remaining ingredients in the rice cooker bowl.
• Set the machine for the regular or brown rice (if you have one) cycle.
• When the machine switches to 'keep warm', set a timer for 15 minutes.
• After 15 minutes, fluff the rice with the plastic paddle or a wooden spoon.
• Discard the ginger and serve, or leave on the 'keep warm' setting for up to 2 hours.

MISO BROWN RICE & BROCCOLI SALAD WITH FIERY PRAWNS

Steps:

• Cook the rice following pack instructions, adding the edamame beans for the last 3 mins of cooking. Drain well.
• Meanwhile, steam the broccoli for 4-5 mins until tender. Run under very cold water, drain thoroughly and pat dry. In a small bowl, mix the miso, ginger, vinegar, honey, sesame oil and seasoning.
• Heat the vegetable oil in a non-stick frying pan. Add the garlic and half the chilli and cook gently for a couple of mins, taking care not to burn. Throw in the prawns, lots of black pepper and a pinch of salt. Turn up the heat and cook for a few mins until the prawns are cooked through. Toss the miso dressing with the cooked rice, adding the spring onions, coriander and broccoli. Season and stir together. Spoon the spicy prawns on top, scatter over the remaining chilli and serve.

SWEET MISO RICE

Steps:

• Cook the rice in a rice cooker, or however you cook your rice.
• While it's cooking, chop your vegetables.
• Add a few drops of water to the miso paste to make it more mixable.
• Combine the rice and vegetables and pour the miso mixture and the vinegar over it.
• Mix well and serve!

BROWN RICE IN THE RICE COOKER

Steps:

• Spray your rice cooker pot with a non-stick cooking spray. This works wonders at keeping your rice from sticking and burning.
• Add your brown rice and water. While the typical rice-to-water ratio for white rice is one part rice to two parts water, brown rice works better if you go with one part rice to two and a half parts water.
• Add salt to taste.
• On a cutting board, press the flat edge of a knife on the cloves of garlic to squash them. Remove and discard the papery skin and drop the smashed cloves into the cooker.
• Add olive oil.
• Cover the pot and turn on the cooker. Expect brown rice to take a little longer to cook than white rice (about 30 to 40 minutes instead of 20).

MISO BROWN RICE & CHICKEN SALAD

Steps:

• Cook the rice following the pack instructions, then drain and keep warm. While it's cooking, place the chicken breasts into a pan of boiling water so they are completely covered. Boil for 1 min, then turn off the heat, place a lid on and let sit for 15 mins. When cooked through, cut into slices.
• Boil the broccoli until tender. Drain, rinse under cold water and drain again.
• For the dressing, mix the miso, rice vinegar, mirin and ginger together.
• Divide the rice between two plates and scatter over the spring onions and sesame seeds. Place the broccoli and chicken slices on top. To finish, drizzle over the dressing.
