Eat for a Week, Episode 20: Teriyaki Chicken

[embed width="800" height="600"]https://vimeo.com/9720091[/embed][autovid_profit_transcript]

This is my take on my mom"s Teriyaki Chicken recipe. I spent about just under $15 on chicken, slivered almonds, broccoli, zucchini, carrots, garlic, yellow squash, and soy sauce.

TOOLS:

Large bowl
Large skillet
Rice maker with steamer basket

INGREDIENTS:

4 chicken breasts
1 crown of broccoli
2 carrots
2 small zucchini
2 yellow squash
1 inch fresh ginger
10 cloves garlic
1/2 C soy sauce
1/2 C honey *
1/3 C water
1/2 tsp ground mustard
1/4 tsp ground cayenne
pinch ground cloves
black pepper to taste
2.25 oz slivered almonds
2-3 Tbsps sesame seeds
1-2 Tbsps olive oil

HOW TO:

In large bowl, combine soy sauce honey, water, mustard, cayenne, cloves, black pepper, 6 smashed cloves of garlic, and raw ginger.
Mix well.
Cut chicken into strips and add to bowl.
Cover and allow to marinate in the refrigerator 1-2 hours, mixing once or twice.

While chicken is marinating, chop broccoli, zucchini, squash and carrots and add to steamer basket of rice cooker. Also thinly slice 4 cloves of garlic and add them with the other vegetables.
Season with salt and pepper.

In small skillet, cook almonds and sesame seeds over low heat until lightly golden brown and a nutty aroma rises from the pan. Once browned, remove from heat.

Start rice cooker with rice and vegetables.
In large skillet, heat olive oil over medium heat.
When hot, add chicken (dispose of extra marinade) and cook until done, turning as needed.

Serve chicken over a bed of rice and steamed veggies. If you like, sprinkle some additional soy sauce over the plate.

* Original recipe calls for 1/2 C brown sugar, but I forgot to pick some up. I had honey on hand, and it worked just fine.

Eat For A Week, Episode 16: Chicken with Rice and Steamed Veggies

[embed width="800" height="600"]https://vimeo.com/3275838[/embed][autovid_profit_transcript]

This is a cheap, easy, versatile, light meal.

TOOLS:
Rice cooker with steamer basket
Skillet

INGREDIENTS:
1 can baby corn, drained
1 zucchini, chopped
1 carrot, chopped
2 yellow squash, sliced
1 large sweet onion, chopped
4 cloves garlic, chopped
2 cups jasmine rice (dry)
1 lb chicken tenders
dehydrated minced garlic
2 Tbsps olive oil
soy sauce

HOW TO:
Put vegetables into rice cooker"s steamer basket. Season with salt & pepper. Add dry rice & water to the base of the rice cooker according to your directions. Assemble cooker and turn on.

Heat olive oil in skillet over medium heat. Add onion & garlic. When onion has become translucent, add chicken. Season with salt & pepper. Cook until done.

Serve chicken over rice and veggies. Sprinkle on some soy sauce if you like.

One of the great things about this is that it"s really more of a method than a recipe. Don"t feel constrained to stick to the veggie assortment that I chose. Get what"s in season and looks good. Get what"s on sale. Get what you like.

The same can be said for the meat. Prefer chicken breasts? Then use those instead. This would also work very well with pork, beef, or turkey. I"ve never used tofu, but I"d imagine you could use that as well if you prefer to go the vegetarian route. Or hell, just leave out the meat all together, choose some other veggies and pan-sear them to go with the rice & steamed veggies.

How to Use a Rice Cooker Steamer

[embed width="800" height="600"]https://www.youtube.com/watch?v=QDfeB3Iu5ow[/embed][autovid_profit_transcript]

A rice cooker / steamer is wonderful for those that eat a lot of rice! Cooking rice the traditional way in a pot is much more exacting, and you need to spend a lot of time stirring so that you don"t burn the pot. A rice cooker is sooo much more easier. You literally put in the rice and water, and then you just leave it and forget it - the pot will cook up perfect rice each time! You can make different types of rice in a rice cooker - whether it be white, rice, or other varieties. You can also steam vegetables and other things as well. A rice cooker is versatile for many things.

In this particular video, I will show you how to use a rice cooker for making brown rice. You can also check your rice cooker"s directions for more specific instructions.

UPDATE:
Since several people have asked - the rice cooker I have is an Aroma model ARC-1010SB

UPDATE:
Many people seem to be confused by the water/rice proportions. It"s NOT a true ratio. Whatever the amount of rice you are putting in, you want to put in the SAME amount of water, plus 1/2 cup.
1 cup of rice = 1-1/2 cup of water
2 cups of rice = 2-1/2 cups of water
3 cups of rice = 3-1/2 cups of water
4 cups of rice = 4-1/2 cups of water
and so forth
These are the instructions straight from the book for my rice cooker.

UPDATE: No, I do not wash the rice. You certainly can if you want to remove the extra starch, but I do not. It"s just my preference.
