"San Francisco" Rice

This recipe came from a magazine article back in the 1970's. It has been modified it somewhat over the years. It supposedly tastes better than beef and chicken Rice-a-Roni which, in addition to shrinking box sizes seem to have become more starchy tasting lately.

1/2 cup rice
1/2 cup vermicelli (broken in pieces) OR
1/2 cup orzo
2 tablespoons butter or margarine
2 cups water
2 chicken or beef bouillon cubes
1/2 teaspoon seasoned salt
1/4 teaspoon garlic powder (optional)
1 tablespoon parsley

Melt butter in a large skillet with a lid. Brown vermicelli or orzo in butter. Add rice and stir to coat with butter. Add water, bouillon cubes and spices. Cover pan and simmer 20 minutes.KellyWA (05:05:58) : Get Together Rice

Yield: 2 servings

1/2 c Uncooked Rice 1/3 lb Honey Roast Ham
2 tsp Corn Oil
2 tsp Soy Sauce
1/4 c Diced Onion
1 tsp Sugar
2 Scallions, sliced
1 tbsp Peanut Oil
1/2 c Snow Peas
1 Egg
1/2 c Fresh Bean Sprouts
1 x Salt

Fill a saucepan with water and add the rice.

Bring the water to a boil and let the rice boil freely for 9 minutes or until it is cooked through.

Drain and stir in the 2 tablespoons of corn oil.

While rice is cooking, wash and cut all of the vegetables and ham into very small diced pieces. Mix the soy sauce and sugar together.

Heat a wok or frying pan and add the peanut oil. When it is smoking, add the onions and stir fry for 1 minute. Add the scallions and continue to fry for another 30 seconds.

Add the ham, snow peas, sprouts and rice and stir fry for 3 minutes. Push the ingredients aside, making a hole in the center.

Crack the egg and drop it into the hole, beating to mix the yellow and white.

Mix into the other ingredients. Again, make a hole and add the soy sauce. Toss all of the ingredients together and continue to fry another 3 - 4 minutes.

Taste for seasoning. Add salt if necessary.
