Versatile Savoury Rice

I've eaten this before but never made it, so I look up the recipe online and this is what I found. I wasn't able to put any cheese or veggies in it due to picky eaters and lactose intolerant family members, but it turned out all right. eEveryone liked it..

This is the most simple way to change our traditional dish in something really delicious, you can add whatever you want. I don't know the name of the little pasta and that is why I call it like this, but I think that you can understand what I am trying to say!

Many years ago I worked with an ex royal marine who had traveled the world and we discovered that we had a common interest in food and he told me that on board ship the chef would save whatever meat or bacon or sausage was left over each day and on a friday would use it up with rice and make a what he called a nasigoren, I made this many times over the years and later discovered it was based on a nasi goreng which the chef probably came across in Indonesia, so here is my version and in tribute to scouse my old colleague from my time with the navy.

These hamburgers are healthy and easy to digest.I like mixing meat and tofu! The cooking time depends on the thickness of the hamburgers, so adjust accordingly while keeping an eye on them. Add carrots, mushrooms, onions to the patties, mince up your favorite vegetable and add it in. It tastes great with lots of vegetables as well. Recipe by mkmchy

--Use generous amounts of green pepper, onion and ginger. These three ingredients are important. (I tried using onion when I had no green onions in. I felt it needed a touch of green, so I added green peppers. I like this version.) You can add other ingredients, too. Recipe by Raby

You can add whatever type of meat or veggies you want to this dish. In the picture I have some pork that I cooked in a crockpot. This dish can also have tofu added to it.

Although the recipe has quite a few ingredients, the end result is definitely worth it! Add the optional ingredients for a pilaf with a bolder flavor.

How about trying a light and tasty Japanese-style stuffed bell pepper? (*^^*)The origin of this recipeI wanted to make stuffed peppers with finely chopped onions, but it seemed like a hassle, so I tried using green onions instead. It turned out delicious, so I decided to share it! ( *´艸｀)

My father and husband both love these noodles! I usually follow the recipe as written, but I adjust the flavor accordingly to whatever I add (ex. If onions are replaced with Japanese leeks, it'll lack natural sweetness so I add sugar, or add XO sauce, etc.)If you're going to use shrimp or squid, it's better to replace the oyster sauce for XO sauce. Depending on how many ingredients you add in, it may lack flavor, so add soy sauce (or salt) to adjust. Recipe by Sabumochi

Was going through some old saved magazine recipe clippings, and ran across this one called American Biryani. Thought I would try it. It's pretty good. Can't wait to try it with sage and rosemary! It takes awhile but it's worth the time and effort. This recipe as is makes quite a bit, my dutch oven was about 2/3 full, I just don't recall if it is a 5 or 6 quart pot. I'm doing a half recipe next time. You shouldn't be limited to chicken, I see no reason why any meat would not work, but whatever meat you use, leave some fat on it, as the fat truly does add flavor.

I always make this dish in autumn whenever mushrooms are in season!The total amount of the mushrooms is about 300 g! If you are using maitake mushrooms, parboil in advance as they make the rice turn black! Recipe by Silvy1978

Here is a relatively easy and tasty dish. A good weekday dinner.Just watch the salt levels, it can overwhelm if you are not careful.If you don't have dark soy sauce, just leave it out. If you don't have sesame oil, just leave it out.I had regular soy sauce, oyster sauce, but used low sodium chicken broth.I added no salt to the beef.
