Recipes with rice (or other grain)

No claypot chicken rice

No claypot chicken rice

Because our donabe (Japanese claypot) is too small to cook a meal for four, my chicken rice was cooked in a cast iron pan. Chinese sausage, mushrooms and bok choy complete the dish.
Cook time: 40 minutes minutes
Servings: 4 people
Claypot salmon and mushroom rice

Claypot salmon and mushroom rice

Rice seasoned with sukiyaki sauce, shiitake and shimeji mushrooms, and fresh salmon cubes cook together in a claypot for a delicious meal. Excluding the soaking time for the dried shiitake, total cooking time, including prep, is 20 minutes.
Cook time: 15 minutes minutes
Servings: 2 people
Chorizo and pesto rice

Chorizo and pesto rice

Got leftover rice? Asian fried rice is good but chorizo and pesto and rice is equally delightful. Easier to make too with fewer ingredients to prep especially if you keep a jar of pesto in your fridge regularly.
Cook time: 7 minutes minutes
Servings: 1 person
Bandeja paisa

Bandeja paisa

In our home version of the Colombian platter, chorizo, chicharron, fried egg and bananas are served with rice and beans.
Cook time: 15 minutes minutes
Servings: 3 people
Java rice

Java rice (it’s Filipino!)

For non-Filipinos, and for Filipinos who left to settle elsewhere in the world before Java rice became the better half of all things grilled in restaurants that specialize in grilled food, Java rice is a yellow fried rice.
Cook time: 10 minutes minutes
Servings: 4 people
