JASMINE RICE WITH SHIITAKES AND SCALLIONS

Steps:

• Bring water and rice to a boil in a small pot. Reduce heat, cover, and simmer until water is absorbed, about 15 minutes. Remove from heat, stir in 1 tablespoon oil, and season with salt and pepper. Cover, and let stand.
• Meanwhile, heat remaining 4 tablespoons oil in a large saute pan over medium-high heat. Add shiitakes in a single layer, and cook, stirring often, until browned and crisp, about 3 minutes. Reduce heat to medium, and cook for 2 minutes more. Add garlic, and cook until light gold, about 2 minutes. Stir in vinegar, and season with salt and pepper. Transfer rice to a platter, top with shiitake mixture, and sprinkle with scallions. Serve immediately.

TOASTED JASMINE RICE WITH GRILLED SCALLIONS

Steps:

• Preheat a grill to high heat.
• In a large saucepan over medium-high heat, add the peanut oil. Add the rice and toast it in the oil until it releases a nutty fragrance, about 1 minute. Pour in the chicken stock and bring the rice to a boil. Reduce the heat to low, cover the pan, and let the rice simmer until the liquid has been completely absorbed, about 18 to 20 minutes. Turn off the heat and let the rice sit, covered, for 10 minutes.
• Toss the scallions in a large bowl with the olive oil and season with salt and pepper, to taste. Arrange them on the grill and grill until they develop a nice char, about 1 to 2 minutes on each side. Remove them from the grill to a cutting board and roughly chop. Fold the scallions, bean sprouts, cilantro and jalapenos into rice and transfer to a serving bowl. Serve immediately.
