PKIA RECIPES: THAI BASIL FRIED RICE

April 30th, 2010

Princess Know It All Shopping list Basil Fried Rice

Download and print the shopping list here!

INSTRUCTIONS:

Heat your skillet, add about 2 tablespoons of olive oil & 1 tablespoon of Sesame Oil.  Once the oil is heated up add your onions, garlic & ginger; once the onions are translucent add your red & green peppers, followed by your carrots – you can steam your carrots if need be in advance.  If not give the carrots a few minutes by covering the pan.  If your digestion is strong then eat ‘em slightly crunchy!  Move all the veggies to the side, in the empty space add your steamed tofu and break it up into crumbles.  Get the seasoning of the pan all over the tofu!  Once it’s heated blend it into your veggies – you can use an egg in the same way.  Allow your veggies and tofu to cook together for a few minutes, meanwhile add your TUMERIC.  Now that your veggies are soft add your shitake mushrooms, mixing them in.  The best part -time for the THAI BASIL – I like TONS of it, gosh I LOVE this flavor – if you can’t find Thai Basil use regular basil it’s just as good fo’you!

Now toss in some cilantro – optional but the combo of the two herbs is BANGIN!  Now that the veggies & Tofu are cooked add in your leftover brown rice (you can use any type of rice or Quinoa).  Add Tamari (soy sauce) and Fish Sauce, spritz some fresh lime juice and add fresh cherry tomatoes if you like and get down and grub!

PKIA RECIPES: A COLORFUL MEAL

March 2nd, 2010

Princess Know It All Shopping list a colorful meal

INSTRUCTIONS:

First make your marinate. What I DIDN’T KNOW when I made this video is to plop all of my ingredients into a food processor so that means the garlic, onions, ginger, Mirin, Tamari and a bit of sesame oil. I blend it up and then pour it over the fish, soaking the salmon is a sauce! Add a bit of water or more Mirin and Soy if your doing it this way. I then place the Marinated Salmon in the fridge and when I return home in the afternoon I either put the entire glass dish into a hot oven 350 degrees and cook it until it’s 160 in temp. (use a meat thermometer).
If you choose to cook your Salmon in a skillet like me, it takes about 10 minutes.

One small piece of ginger grated or crushed, once again add more if you like it spicy
4 cloves of garlic chopped or crushed – the garlic takes the fishy flavor away and adds a nice kick, you can use more or less
One tablespoon of Mirin
One tablespoon of Tamari or Shoyu Soy Sauce
A half of chopped red or yellow onion (once again more depending on your taste buds)
2 tablespoons of Sesame Oil

Be sure to add your broccoli to the skillet the last 5 minutes of cooking!

Salmon: Wild Caught Salmon is the best, as opposed to farm raised, here I used a medium sized filet. This amount usually feeds my family of 4 easily, remember we want our plates to be full of veggies and our fish or meat fills only a quarter of the space on our plates.

The Purple Sweet Potatoes are cake, wash them off really good by using a veggie scrub brush and then add them to a full pot of water, let them cook until they are soft all the way through. Once you’ve peeled the skin add them to a bowl with your coconut milk and sweetener, bust your mixing wand and mash away! Kids love these because of the color!!

INSTRUCTIONS:

1. Soak your millet in a glass bowl over night with the kombu in it.
2. In the morning, remove kombu, strain Millet and rinse.
3. Heat your olive oil in the skillet, then add chopped onions and garlic, cook the onions until they are clear, then add your strained millet. I also chop up the kombu and add it in too!
4. Totally toast this millet, covering it with the flavors in the skillet. Once it seems toasty, I add 3 cups of water. I bring it to a boil, I lower the heat after it boils for a few minutes and then toss in my pinch of salt, cover and let simmer on low for 35 minutes (just like rice).

PKIA RECIPES: TOM YUM SOUP

March 2nd, 2010

PKIA Shopping list for Tom Yum Soup

Preparation:

  1. For instructions on how to buy, prepare, and cook with lemongrass, see: All About Lemongrass.
  2. Pour stock into a deep cooking pot and turn heat to medium-high.
  3. Add processed lemongrass to the pot, including the parts of the lemongrass stalk you didn’t slice. Boil for 5 minutes, or until fragrant.
  4. Add garlic, chili, lime leaves, and mushrooms to broth. Continue cooking for another 5 minutes.
  5. Add Tofu or Shrimp, bell pepper, and cherry tomatoes (if using). Cook 5-6 minutes, or until shrimp is pink and plump.
  6. Turn down the heat to low and add 1/2 can coconut milk plus fish sauce. Test-test the soup for spice and salt, adding more chili and/or fish sauce (instead of salt) as desired. If too sour for your taste, add 1 tsp. brown sugar; if too salty, add a squeeze of lime juice. Add more coconut milk if you want your soup richer/creamier, or if it’s too spicy for your taste.
  7. Serve in bowls with fresh coriander sprinkled over. Enjoy!! (See below for more variations on this recipe.)

Variations:

  • For a vegetarian version, see my Easy Vegetarian Tom Yum Soup Recipe
  • For a more traditional/authentic Tom Yum Soup (without coconut milk), see: Traditional Tom Yum Soup
  • If you prefer chicken over seafood, substitute chicken breast for shrimp (cut the chicken into bite-size pieces).
  • Rice noodles can also be added for a delicious noodle-soup version of Tom Yum.
