MINUTE RICE FIVE SPICE CASSEROLE

Steps:

• Brown meat in oil, add onions and cook until tender.
• Stir in seasonings, soup, tomatoes, and Minute rice.
• Simmer 5 minutes.
• Stir occasionally.
• Spoon into 1 1/2 quart baking dish. (But I only use a cast iron skillet, since it is both oven and stove top friendly. Plus, my Grandmother always made it in a cast iron skillet, and I did learn from her. She was the best cook for comfort foods.).
• Criss cross with cheese and broil until cheese melts.
• Garnish with olives if desired.
• Instead of olives, we sometimes use jalepenos.
• Also, this recipe works well when you cook it in a cast iron skillet- you only dirty one dish that way!

FRIED RICE BY SALLYE

Steps:

• Make sure you have prepared and measured all ingredients and set on counter in bowls/dishes within easy reach. This dish moves too quickly to stop and find or chop something.
• It is better to use rice that was cooked the day before; the slightly drier rice will soak up flavors better. ***Meat can be either cooked pork, cooked beef, small cooked peeled deveined shrimp or a combination of all three.
• Place 2 tablespoons oil in heated wok or heavy skillet and quickly soft scramble eggs. Remove eggs from wok and set aside in bowl Zap carrots and peas in microwave for 1-2 minutes full power
• In same wok or skillet, coat with oil and stir fry garlic, white part of onion, and ginger. Add meat to mixture. Add rice to wok and mix thoroughly.
• Add soy sauce, pepper, salt, green part of onions, carrots, peas and scrambled eggs. Mix thoroughly making sure rice is completely coated. Adjust seasoning as needed. Serve immediately.

FIVE SPICE HOMEMADE POWDER (SALLYE)

Steps:

• Preheat heavy dry skillet (I use cast iron) to medium heat. Add peppercorns and shake around or stir with wooden spoon about 2 minutes until aroma is released. Remove peppercorns into a small bowl.
• In same skillet add star anise and fennel seed. Shake around or stir with wooden spoon for about 2 minutes. Remove from heat
• Place all inredients into spice grinder or blender and grind until a fine powder is formed. Let rest for a minute or two for powder to settle. Pour into airtight container and store in cool dry place. Will keep for several months.
• NOTE: IF YOU DON'T HAVE A SPICE GRINDER, I SUGGEST YOU BUY THE STAR ANISE ALREADY GROUND. IT IS VERY HARD TO GRIND IN A BLENDER. Use 1 tablespoon of ground anise as alternate
