Title: Wild Rice-Cucumber Salad
Categories: Low, Fat
Yield: 1 servings

1 1/2 c Wild rice, rinsed
3 c Water
3 Cucumbers, sliced thick and
sl Cut into quarters
1 Red bell pepper, diced
1 bn Green onions (or 1 Vidalia
Or red onion), chopped

(the cucumbers can be increased with good results, and other veg.added)
Bring the water to a boil, add the wild rice. Return to boil, turn down to
simmer for 40 minutes or until some of the grains burst. Remove from heat
and allow to cool. Drain any excess water. Toss cooled rice and other
ingredients in a bowl.

You may use any dressing you like, but I like to use one of these:

Basil/Balsamic Vinegar Dressing [T] – I think I derived this from something
McDougall

1/3 c balsamic vinegar 1 T soy sauce 2 T water 2 T fresh basil, chopped
fine 2 cloves garlic, chopped fine 1 T onion, chopped fine 1/2 t black
pepper

Combine in a jar, shake, and allow to sit, preferably overnight. The salad
will also be improved if it is dressed and allowed to sit for several
hours, which is good, since there is a lot of it!

The other dressing I use on this is from the New McDougall Cookbook, called
the Savory Salad Dressing. [T]

1 t Dijon mustard 1/4 c red wine vinegar 1/4 c water 1/4 c soy sauce dash
Tobasco sauce

Combine in jar, shake, allow to sit for a few hours.

(makes a LARGE amount, keeps well)

Title: TENDER BROCCOLI STEMS WITH CLAMS
Categories: Chinese, Seafood
Yield: 4 servings

2 lb Broccoli
4 lg Cloves garlic
1 tb Fermented soy beans
1/4 c Canned baby clams (or
-crabmeat or shrimp)
1/2 c Stock
2 tb Peanut oil for first
-stir-frying
1 tb Peanut oil
Cornstarch paste

Preparation: Wash broccoli and cut off flowerets
(save for another dish). With small paring knife,
carefully peel outer skin off broccoli stems,
beginning at the base. Leave inner stems whole. Cut
stems on the bias into 1/4″ slices.

Rinse fermented soy beans. Peel garlic. Mince
together soy beans and garlic; then mash to a paste
using mortar and pestle; set aside. Place drained baby
clams in stock. If substituting fresh clams, crabmeat
or shrimp, wash, shell and chop into small pieces.

Stir-frying: Heat wok to hot, then add first of oil.
When oil just begin to smoke, add broccoli and toss
quickly to avoid burning. Stir-fry for about 1
minute. Turn heat down to moderate (or on electric
range, remove from heat). Push broccoli up side of
wok; add remaining oil to bottom of wok; add soy bean
mixture. Press and stir until odor of beans and
garlic is present.

Return to high heat and immediately recombine with
broccoli, stirring constantly for about 30 seconds.
Beans and garlic will burn easily, so keep mixture
moving. Quickly add clams and stock; stir-fry for
another 30 seconds. Cover for 30 seconds to finish
cooking broccoli. Remove cover; thicken with
cornstarch paste to light sauce.
