ONE POT MUSHROOM RICE

Steps:

• Heat olive oil in a large stockpot or Dutch oven over medium heat. Add garlic and onion, and cook, stirring frequently, until translucent, about 2-3 minutes. Stir in mushrooms, Worcestershire and thyme and cook, stirring occasionally, until mushrooms are tender and browned, about 5-6 minutes; season with salt and pepper, to taste. Stir in brown rice and vegetable broth. Bring to a boil; cover, reduce heat and simmer until rice is cooked through, about 40-45 minutes. Stir in butter until melted, about 1 minute. Serve immediately, garnished with chives, if desired.

MUSHROOM RICE

Steps:

• Rinse the rice very well and allow it to drain for 15 minutes.
• Put it in a pot with the water and a pinch of salt.
• Bring it to a boil, then immediately reduce it to minimum.
• Stir the rice gently, then cover it and do not disturb it for 15 minutes.
• You can also cook it in a rice cooker.
• Meanwhile, break the dry shiitake into pieces (discard the stems) and soak them in the boiling water.
• Clean the fresh mushrooms, trim them, and chop them finely. (Discard the shiitake stems again - they are quite woody.)
• Just before the rice is done, melt the butter in a small skillet over medium heat.
• Saute the fresh mushrooms until they are soft and producing some juice.
• Add the soaked shiitake and their soaking liquid, heat through, and immediately stir all the mushrooms, with the liquid, into the rice.

MUSHROOM RICE RECIPE

Steps:

• Heat 2 tbsp oil in a large pot over high heat. Add half the mushrooms, and cook for 5 minutes until golden. Season with salt and pepper then remove and set aside (we put these in at the end, mushrooms cooked in rice don't stay as golden).
• If the pot is dry, another 1/2 - 1 tbsp oil, and add butter. When melted, add onions and garlic.
• Cook for 30 seconds, then add remaining mushrooms. Cook for 5 minutes or until mushrooms are lightly browned (they won't caramelise as well as the first batch) and the base of the pot is brown.
• Add rice and a splash of broth. Mix so the brown stuff on the bottom of the pot mixes into the liquid. (Video below helpful here)
• Once the base of the pot is clean, add remaining liquid. Place lid on, bring to a simmer then turn down to medium low.
• Cook for 15 minutes or until there is no residual liquid (tilt pot to check).
• Remove from stove, remove lid, QUICKLY toss in reserved mushrooms and scallions, put lid back on. Leave for 10 minutes (do not skip this step!).
• Fluff rice using a fork or wooden spoon. OPTIONAL: Stir through more butter. :) Serve!

MUSHROOM RICE PILAF

Steps:

• In a heavy saucepan, heat the oil and butter, add the onion and mushrooms and sauteed until soft and translucent.
• Pour in the rice and stir to coat the granules well. Cook until the edges of the rice grains have turned translucent, but not toasted.
• Add the stock and salt. Cover the pan tightly, placing a sheet or two of paper toweling under the lid, reduce the heat to low and cook until all the liquid has evaporated and grains are tender.
• Correct the seasonings. Toss the rice with a fork and fold in the sauteed almonds and parsley.

SAVORY THAI STICKY RICE

Steps:

• Soak 2 cups sweet (sticky) rice in 3-4 cups water, or enough so water exceeds the rice by at least 1 inch. Soak for at least 40 minutes (if you lose track of time, it's no problem - sticky rice can soak up to 4 hours or longer). Note: Sweet rice has a hard outer shell that needs to soften before it can be cooked.
• While rice is soaking, prepare your steamer. Line a bamboo steamer or colander with 2 layers of banana/bamboo leaf, OR use cheesecloth, or a clean kitchen cloth. To clean and thaw the leaf (if frozen), rinse under hot water. Cut the leaf large enough that it extends over the top. Place steamer over a large pot, and have a tight-fitting lid ready.
• Place bacon in a large frying pan/wok together with 1-2 tablespoons water. Fry over medium-high heat until cooked (chewy, not crisp). Remove from heat, leaving all or half the fat in the frying pan.
• Remove bacon from the pan and cut into small pieces (I use a clean pair of scissors for this, like they do in Asia - much faster and easier than a knife!). Place it back in the frying pan.
• Also add to the frying pan the shallots or onion, mushrooms, garlic, and chili. Return to medium-high heat and stir-fry 1-2 minutes, until fragrant. If your pan becomes dry, add a little water (1-2 Tbsp.).
• Turn heat to low. Add the drained sticky rice, plus the fish sauce and soy sauces. Also add half the green onion. Stir until the color of the rice has consistently darkened . Remove from heat.
• Transfer the rice from the frying pan into your prepared steamer. Make sure there is at least 1 inch of water in the pot. Cover with the lid and steam over high heat for 30-35 minutes. (You may have to add more water to your steamer partway through.).
• After 30 minutes, remove from heat. Allow to sit (with lid on) for 5 minutes. The rice should be soft, sticky, and slightly translucent. If there are any hard grains, steam 5 minutes longer. (Dig down into the middle of the rice when testing for "done-ness".).
• Taste-test the rice for salt. Sprinkle over a little more fish sauce if not salty or flavorful enough. If too salty, add a sqeeze of lime juice. Gently stir rice with a fork or chopsticks to mix inches.
• To serve, slide the banana/bamboo leaf directly onto a serving plate. Or, if you want to pretty it up, line a serving bowl or plate with a fresh banana leaf. Mound the rice on top and sprinkle with remaining spring onion (add optional garnishes too if desired). ENJOY!
