At the party following the big finance midterm last night, I heard from a few business students that the blog needs quick, easy, nutritious recipes. I got a couple of requests for slow cooker soups and other meals. I'll keep my eyes peeled for those, and be sure to share them.
Tonight's dinner did not include the use of a slow cooker, but it fit the other criteria. Easy, peasy.
Shrimp, scallion, and edamame fried rice
- A drizzle of canola oil
- 1 clove garlic, minced
- 1 inch or so piece of fresh ginger, peeled and minced
- 2 scallions, white parts and most of the green parts (omit the very ends), sliced
- A couple of handfuls of frozen, shelled edamame
- Trader Joe's frozen organic brown rice (comes in a box with 3 bags, each with about 2 c. cooked rice), warmed on the stove or in the microwave
- a couple big handfuls of frozen shrimp (the fully cooked, peeled kind)
- 1 egg, lightly beaten
- soy sauce
In a Wok or skillet, warm the canola oil. Add the garlic, ginger, and scallions and cook until aromatic and softened, 2-3 minutes. Stir in the rice, edamame, and shrimp. Cook, stirring frequently, until the shrimp are heated through (this shouldn't take more than a couple of minutes). Make a 3" well in the rice, drizzle a little more oil into the well, and add the egg. Leave it alone until the egg is almost fully cooked (scrambled). Stir the whole dish to combine and add a couple of tablespoons of soy sauce. Enjoy!
