Fried rice flavor without the frying
I discovered a good rice prep recipe today. The flavor reminds me of my mom's fried rice, except you don't have to fry anything. I did go ahead and make fried rice out of this first batch, because I already had the vegetables chopped, so it was doubly yummuy.
Measures are approximate, for a standard batch of 1 cup rice:2 cups water. To the water add 1 Tbsp miso soup paste, 1 tsp veggie bouillon (we use the Better Than Bouillon brand, which is a paste that comes in jars), 1 tsp Bull Head BBQ Sauce (should be available at most Asian marts). A dash or two of garlic powder/
Just make sure all that stuff is well mixed into the boiling water before adding rice. Cook rice as usual. I'm sure this would work just fine in a rice cooker, if that's how you prepare rice. You'd just need to play around with the seasoning proportions. So there's a decent amount of salt in this, but zero oil from frying. Just a little oil from the bullsauce.
As for the Bull Head sauce, it contains: soybean oil, garlic shallots, chili pepper, brill fish, dry shrimp, salt. The rice will probably taste pretty good without this, if you don't want to buy something special for it. We use the bull in only one other thing, shabu shabu, for which the bull is somewhat essential for flavor imo.
