Fried Rice
3 T. oil
3 cups cooked rice
2 T. soy sauce
3 eggs, slightly beaten (fresh eggs or reconstituted dehydrated eggs)
1/2 c. peas, fresh, frozen or dehydrated and reconstituted
1/2 c. diced carrots, fresh or dehydrated and reconstituted
Heat oil in a large skillet. Add cooked rice. Stir fry until rice is hot and mixed with oil. Add soy sauce; mix well. If rice is dry add 1/4 cup water; stir and cook gently until water is absorbed. Stir in carrots and peas. Make a well in the center of the rice mixture by pushing rice to the edges of the skillet. Pour beaten eggs into the well. Quickly scramble, scraping bottom of skillet to prevent too much sticking. Stir cooked eggs into rice mixture, breaking into small pieces. Makes 4-6 servings.
Optional: Diced red peppers, small pieces of seasoned meat or wheat meat or diced spam may be added for variety.
How To Make Rice Milk
1 cup uncooked organic long grain brown rice
8 cups water for cooking
More water for diluting
1 teaspoon salt
Glass mason jars for storage
A Blender
Mesh strainer
Directions
Thoroughly wash the rice.
Put 8 cups of water in a big pot and bring it to a boil over high heat.
Pour in the rice.
Cover the pot and lower the heat to let the water simmer.
Cook for 3 hours.
You will end up with something that looks a bit like a soupy rice pudding. Add the salt.
In batches, fill your blender halfway with the rice mixture and halfway with water. Blend until very smooth. Strain twice through a fine mesh strainer into a mason jar. Continue on with the rest of the milk until you’re finished, filling jars and screwing the lids on good and tight.
Even with the extra water, the homemade rice milk ends up thicker than the product you might be used to if you’ve always purchased Rice Dream Rice Milk. It’s more like rice cream! You may want to dilute it further at the time of serving it. Just add a bit more water until it’s the desired consistency.
Optional Additions To Your Rice Milk Recipe
A look at the label of Rice Dream Rice Milk reveals that it contains oil. Oil does make things creamier, and we like to add about 2 Tablespoons of organic sunflower oil to our batch of milk.
We also like to add about 4 Tablespoons of Maple Syrup to our batch of milk, as we are still used to the slightly sweeter taste of the Rice Dream product than what you get from homemade. It’s not a big difference…just a little one.
