wiki (fast) rice

 

wiki (fast) rice

wiki means “fast” in Hawaiian, and this dish fits the bill—it’s quick and easy to make

1 Tbsp canola oil

1 Tbsp fresh garlic, minced (about 3 cloves) (or 1 tsp dried)

1 tsp fresh ginger, minced (or ¼ tsp dried)

1 Tbsp scallions (green onions), rinsed and minced

½ C canned sliced water chestnuts, drained

2 C cooked mixed vegetables (or ½ bag frozen stir-fry vegetable mix) (Leftover Friendly)

2 C cooked brown rice (Leftover Friendly)

1 Tbsp lite soy sauce

1 tsp sesame oil

1. Heat canola oil in a large wok or sauté pan over medium heat. Add garlic, ginger, and scallions, and cook until fragrant, about 1 minute.

2. Add water chestnuts, and continue to cook until they begin to soften, another 1–2 minutes.

3. Add vegetables, and toss until heated through, about 2–3 minutes (or up to 5 minutes for frozen vegetables).

4. Add rice, and continue to cook until hot, about 3–5 minutes.

5. Add soy sauce and sesame oil. Toss well, and serve.
