Gluten Free Sugar Snap Peas And Rice Recipes

5-MINUTE ASIAN SUGAR SNAP PEAS

Steps:

• Toss hot, cooked sugar snap peas with soy sauce and sesame oil. (If using steam-in-bag peas, be sure to drain off any water that may be in the cooking bag, so it doesn't dilute your sauce mixture).
• Add Pepper Relish (or jelly / chili garlic paste substitution) to taste. We find that 2 teaspoons is a good starting amount but we often add more - you may want more or less depending on how spicy your batch of Pepper Relish turned out, and on how spicy you like your food.
• Once you're done adding Pepper Relish (tasting and possibly adding a bit more), and adjusting the other flavors, add a pinch of salt, only if needed.
• Garnish with black sesame seeds, if desired. They don't add much flavor, but they look really pretty.
• When serving, be sure to scoop all the way to the bottom of the serving bowl to get some of the flavorful sauce along with each serving of peas.

SUGAR SNAP PEAS AND RICE

Steps:

• In 2-quart saucepan, heat 1 1/2 cups water, the salt and thyme to boiling. Stir in rice; reduce heat to low. Cover; simmer 45 to 50 minutes or until rice is tender.
• In 10-inch nonstick skillet, heat oil over medium heat. Add onion and garlic; cook 2 to 3 minutes, stirring constantly, until onion is tender. Add bell pepper, peas and 2 tablespoons water; cook and stir 2 to 3 minutes or until peas are crisp-tender.
• Stir in cooked rice mixture; cook and stir 1 to 2 minutes or until thoroughly heated.

SWEET CHILI-GLAZED SALMON, SUGAR SNAPS AND RICE

Steps:

• Preheat the oven to 425 degrees F. Coat a sheet pan with cooking spray.
• Combine the rice, 2 1/2 cups water and 1/4 teaspoon of the salt on the sheet pan. Bake for 20 minutes.
• Meanwhile, whisk the sugar, lime juice, fish sauce, chili-garlic sauce and cornstarch in a small bowl to make the glaze. Combine the sugar snaps with the oil and 1/4 teaspoon of the salt in a separate bowl.
• Season the salmon with the remaining 1/4 teaspoon salt. After the rice has cooked for 20 minutes, place the salmon, skin side down, on the sheet pan (directly on top of the rice) and brush it with about one-third of the chili glaze. Roast for 5 minutes, again brush the salmon with about one-third of the glaze and add the sugar snaps to the pan. Roast another 5 minutes and brush with the remaining glaze. Roast until the salmon is just translucent in the center and the sugar snaps are crisp-tender, about 5 minutes more.

JASMINE RICE SALAD WITH SNAP PEAS

Steps:

• Heat the oil in a large saucepan until almost smoking. Add the onions and cook until soft. Add the garlic, cumin, nutmeg, coriander and ginger and cook for 1 minute. Add the rice and coat with the oil and spices. Add the water, bring to a boil and season with salt and pepper to taste. Reduce the heat, cover the pot and cook for 15 to 18 minutes. Remove from heat, fluff with a fork and fold in snow peas, carrots and parsley. Serve at room temperature.

CASHEW CHICKEN WITH SNAP PEAS

Steps:

• Cook the rice as the label directs. Set aside off the heat, 5 minutes, then fluff with a fork.
• Meanwhile, toss the chicken with 1 tablespoon cornstarch and 2 teaspoons soy sauce in a large bowl; set aside 5 minutes. Stir together the hoisin sauce, remaining 2 tablespoons soy sauce, the vinegar, sugar, ginger, garlic, remaining 1 teaspoon cornstarch and 1 tablespoon water in a separate bowl until smooth; set aside.
• Heat the vegetable oil in a large nonstick skillet over medium-high heat. Add the chicken in a single layer and cook, stirring once or twice, until golden and almost fully cooked through, 5 minutes. Transfer to a plate, leaving any drippings behind. Add the snap peas to the skillet and cook until bright green, 1 to 2 minutes. Stir in the cashews to lightly toast, about 1 minute.
• Return the chicken to the skillet and pour in the hoisin sauce mixture. Cook, stirring, until the sauce thickens slightly and coats the chicken and vegetables, 1 to 2 minutes.
• Divide the rice among plates or shallow bowls. Top with the chicken mixture and sauce.

BASMATI RICE WITH SUGAR SNAP PEAS AND GREEN CHILES

Steps:

• Heat 1/2 tablespoon oil over moderate heat in a 3-quart heavy saucepan until hot but not smoking, then cook white parts of scallions and mustard seeds, stirring frequently, until scallions are softened, 1 to 2 minutes. Add rice and cook, stirring, 1 minute. Add water and salt and bring to a boil. Cook over low heat, covered, until rice is tender and water is absorbed, about 15 minutes. Remove from heat and fluff rice with a fork, then let stand, covered, 5 minutes.
• While rice is standing, heat remaining 1/2 tablespoon oil in a 10-inch nonstick skillet over moderate heat until hot but not smoking, then cook jalapeño and scallion greens, stirring occasionally, until they begin to soften, about 1 minute. Add snap peas and cook, stirring, until crisp-tender, 3 to 4 minutes. Toss with rice and season with salt.
