Rice with a stir-fry syrup spiked with fresh notes of lemon, ginger and garlic. From Kayotic Kitchen. Ingredients:
1 lb broccoli floret, cut very small |
2 small onions, chopped |
1 garlic clove, minced |
2 tablespoons vegetable oil |
salt and pepper |
4 -5 cups cooked rice |
juice 1/2 lemon |
2/3 cup sugar |
2 cups water |
rind 1 lemon, no white pith (cut into strips) |
ginger, 1 inch rough chopped |
2 garlic cloves, bruised |
1/2 teaspoon chili flakes |
1 tablespoon soy sauce |
1 tablespoon fish sauce |
salt and pepper |
Directions:
1. Combine all ingredients for the syrup. Place over heat and simmer for about 20 - 25 minutes. Strain through a sieve. This is about double the amount needed and should make enough for 2 times or use in stir fry. Store in refrigerator.
2. Heat 2 tbsp oil and saute the onions over high heat for a minute or two before adding the broccoli florets; toss. Add the garlic to the skillet.
3. Season with a pinch of salt and pepper and cook the broccoli until tender but with a bite, 5 minutes.
4. Pour over the broccoli, half of the reserved syrup, adding more if you like it on the sweet side; simmer for a minute, tossing to coat.
5. Add 4 or 5 cups of cooked rice and squeeze the juice of 1/2 a lemon; heat through.
