Mandarin Salmon with Rice and Veggies!

11/12/2019

Ingredients:
1 4-oz piece of salmon (skin removed)
1 cup of white rice
1 cup of stir-fry veggies (fresh or frozen)
1 cup of Mandarin stir fry sauce
1 1/2 tablespoons of cooking oil
Salt and pepper
Flour

Directions:

1. Cook rice through the "Simmer and Steam" method (See "Easy 30-minute White Rice" post).

2. Put oil in large skillet and turn to medium-high heat. Season both sides of salmon with desired salt and pepper, then lightly coat with flour. When skillet is hot, place salmon in skillet to get a sear, then flip and turn heat to medium. Cook for about five minutes on each side.

3. As salmon is almost cooked, add the veggies and mandarin sauce, getting it to a moderate boil. Turn down the heat to medium-low and cover skillet with lid. This will give time for veggies to steam and get tender. Continue to let cook until veggies are at desired tenderness and the sauce has thickened.

4. Place salmon on a plate, add rice on the side and top it with the veggies.

5. Enjoy!

0 Comments

This recipe idea came from seeing the frozen Jimmy Dean breakfast bowls in the grocery store and having had tried one, I wanted to create one that had more substance.

Ingredients

1 small potato
2 eggs
4oz Jimmy Dean sausage with sage
1 cup shredded cheese of choice
1 tablespoon oil
Canola spray
Salt and pepper to taste
2 cast iron skillets (or non-stick skillets)

Directions

1. Dice the potato into small cubes, rinse, and add salt and pepper to taste.

2. Have cast iron skillets on stove, adding 1 tablespoon to one (for potatoes; use a larger skillet) and Canola spray for the other for sausage (can use a smaller skillet). Turn on medium-high heat for both.

3. When skillets get hot, add potatoes and sausage into their respective skillets. After a minute turn heat down to medium. Cook sausage until there is no pink, occasionally stir potatoes and cook until they start to brown (about 10 minutes).

4. When potatoes start to brown, move them to side of pan and add eggs on the other side. (There should be enough oil for the eggs to cook in.) Season eggs to preference and scramble.

5. Add sausage to potatoes/egg skillet and stir, making sure they are scrambled together. Turn heat to low, add shredded cheese, and cover with a lid for 1-2 minutes,or until cheese is melted. Serve in a small bowl.

Enjoy!

Easy 30-,Minute White Rice!

4/2/2019

So the way that my mother taught me how to make rice was to boil rice in water and salt in a pot, drain the rice, run hot water through the rice in the colander (to rinse the rice of the starch), and return it to the pot to let it steam. I wanted to research a different way of making white rice and I came across a recipe that involved the "simmer-and-steam" method. I thought, "What is this?" but I tried it myself and thought it was an easier method that what I was taught.

What you will need to make the rice:

1 cup of long-grain white rice
1 1/2 cups of water
1/2 teaspoon of salt
Saucepan
Strainer

Directions

1. Put water in saucepan and bring to a boil.

2. While water is getting to a boil, put the rice in the strainer and run water through it until the water is clear. This is to rinse the starch in the rice.

3. When the water comes to a boil, add the rice and salt, stirring gently.

4. Cover the saucepan with the lid and turn the heat down to a simmer (low) for 18-20 minutes, until most of the water is absorbed.

5. Take the saucepan off of the heat and let it steam for 10 minutes. Fluff with a fork and it is ready to serve!
