COUSCOUS AND RICE

I never measure rice because I was taught by a chinese guy: just pour
the rice into the pot/cooker, add enough water to go above your nail
but below the first joint (around 1", 2.5 cm?) and cook. This really
works for me. For this recipe I added a bit more liquid to account
for the coucsous.

Approximate ingredients:
4 parts white rice
1 part whole wheat couscous
kitchen-sink veg. broth (it’s a sweet broth)
soya sauce to taste (very little)

Throw it all in the cooker, cook, then eat!

This would probably work with brown rice but I’m not sure what the
extra cooking time would do to the couscous, which usually needs only
five minutes so even the twenty minutes for white rice is alot.

I just got off the phone with the lifestyles editor of my local paper.
Seems a recipe I submitted to the annual recipe contest was selected
as a finalist! Hurray! And, get this, it is a fat-free recipe!
Well, at least I think it is. I still don’t know if black bean paste
has no fat added to it.

The cookoff is next Thursday (Oct 21). I cannot remember if I ever
posted this recipe before, but it is really good so I’ll post it
again:

Green Beans in Black Bean Sauce

1 lb fresh green beans
2 Tbsp black bean paste
2 Tbsp low sodium soy sauce or tamari
1/4 cup cold water
1 Tbsp corn starch

Wash green beans and trim into bite sized pieces. Steam or microwave
with a little water until just tender-crisp. Drain and rinse with cold
water to stop cooking.

Mix together the black bean paste, soy sauce, water and corn starch until
very smooth.

Heat a wok or large saucepan to medium high. Add some water and the cooked
beans. When beans are heated (about 2 minutes) add the sauce. Stir
constantly to coat the beans (sauce will get very thick). Serve immediately
over hot cooked rice.

This sauce and cooking process can be used with just about any vegetable
you like. My hubby loves this recipe when made with asparagus, but last
time I checked asparagus was $3.99/lb (OUCH!).
