Boil in a bag cooking on stove top is similar to microwave cooking. One quart of water per bag, bring to a boil and boil uncovered for 8-10 minutes. Remove from BOILING water and let drain. Then prepare. I have ate a lot of it since I found out about it several years ago. There are store brands but what I like is the Success brand.
I could live on rice cooked with different ingredients but really like it with beef especially beef fried rice. Like it with chicken and the mushroom soup also.
However, I seldom eat rice now due to the carbs. Have had to get my blood sugar count down and that was the first to go. Just eat small amounts now and then.

My Fried Rice Recipe.

(I cook the rice first in saucepans and let it cool)

3 Flavors Fried Rice

1 Cup  thin sliced grilled Chicken Breast basted with Teriyaki sauce

1 Cup thin sliced lean boneless pork chop or pork steak (pre cooked if you like)

1/2 Cup frozen Tiny Shrimp (or minced-up peeled larger shrimp to equal 1/2 Cup)

1/2 Cup uncooked white and brown rice.  (cook white rice in 1 1/2 Cup water with 1/2 a Chicken
bouillon cube for 15 minutes, remove from heat and allow to cool.  Cook Brown rice similarly, but
for 45 minutes.  You'll have 3 Cups of cold "cooked rice".

Thin slice 3  green onions

Mince 1 yellow onion medium to large in size

1 Cup frozen green peas or peas with carrots

2 large eggs lightly whisked and fried in a small skillet.  Remove and cut up allowing to cool

2 TB of Peanut Oil for cooking

Sesame oil (to taste but add toward the end of stir frying)

2 TB of Soy Sauce (or to taste)

Five Spice seasoning to taste


Cooking

Have your Wok (or Skillet) heated to medium to high heat

Add 1 TB of the Peanut oil and swirl around the sides and bottom of the Wok and add minced onions
and the peas or peas & carrots.  Stir frying until they are tender and glowing bright in color.

Scoot the onion, peas, carrots to one side and add the egg to re-heat it for a moment.

Add the second ounce of peanut oil.

Next, add the chicken, pork, & shrimp, and stir and toss to heat it until cooked.

Now add the rice and toss and stir to mix with the other ingredients.


Continue stir frying until the oil is absorbed and the mixture is getting hot.  Add Soy Sauce
sprinkling it over the rice mixture and mixing in well.  You can add a few shakes of 5 Spice seasoning now
but go easy with it as it is a potent blend of flavors.

Toss this mixture together and then add the sliced green onions and stir into the mixture Then add a drizzle
of Sesame Oil over the hot rice mixture and remove from heat. Allow to cool for a moment before plating.

 

Additions:  You may add some thinly sliced Napa (Chinese Cabbage) into this fried rice if you like. A hand
full would be plenty.  Snow Peas can be added as a Garnish towards the end.

There is no thickener or gravy made in this recipe.

With this style of cooking, if you are new to it, there is a bit of prep for the ingredients.  But when they are ready to go  into the Wok the process moves quickly once the stir frying begins.

5 Spice, if you aren't familiar with it.

Asian 5 Spice seasoning is fairly common these days.  I see small containers of it for a buck anymore.
Labels like  "Spice Time" or "Encore" on the value isles in larger Grocery Stores.

But if you can scrape up some of these items you can make it.

1 teaspoon ground cinnamon

1 teaspoon crushed anise seed

1/4 teaspoon crushed fennel seed

1/4 teaspoon freshly ground pepper

1/8 teaspoon ground cloves.

Just put them in a empty container and shake them up and it's ready to use.

Due to ARSENIC in rice, you're supposed to rinse it, then soak it overnight and rinse several times, then cook it, which goes fast due to the soaking.  Same with dried beans, lentils, etc.

I don't leave it over night but instead I put white vinager to help the soaking process like for 10 or 15 min and then rinse it several times. I didn't know about the over night though

A JUG!!!  I haven't hit the road yet and I've been wondering how I'd rinse my rice.  At home the unlimited, always available water supply makes it simple.  With a jug you would only need a little water, shake it up, empty your first rinse and repeat.  Very easy, small amount of water use and easy cleanup/containment.  Thank you.
