lindsey’s stir fried rice
ingredients
- 2 cups brown long grain rice
- 1 lb. flank steak
- 2 lb. boneless chicken breast
- 2 shallots
- 1 bunch scallions
- ¼ lb snow peas
- 1 bunch cilantro
- 1 package of shitake mushrooms
- 1-2 cups mung bean sprouts
- 1 clove of garlic
- 5 eggs
- 2 tablespoons olive oil
- 2 tablespoons sesame oil
- 1/2 cup soy sauce
- 1 cupsesame seed teriyaki sauce
- 2 tablespoons red bean paste
directions
chop the chicken breast and flank steak into thin strips. combine 1 cup sesame seed teriyaki sauce, 1/2 cup soy sauce, and 2 tablespoons red bean paste, to marinate the strips in for 1 hour – overnight.
mince the garlic and dice up the shallots. chop the scallions into 1/4 inch chunks. in a wok over medium heat, pour in the olive oil and sesame oil followed by the garlic, shallots, and scallions. when shallots become translucent add 1-2 cups of mung bean sprouts. cover and let simmer for several minutes before adding 5 beaten eggs.
remove mixture from wok and set aside. add the marinated chicken breast and flank steak to the still hot wok and cover, allowing to simmer for 10-12 minutes. when meat is thoroughly cooked, combine the chicken, steak, shallots, garlic and scallions back into the wok. fold in the 2 cups of steamed brown long grain rice. garnish with chopped cilantro.
lindsey’s sake sangria
ingredients
- 2 cups sake
- 1 cup orange juice, freshly squeezed
- 1/4 cup brandy
- 4 teaspoons sugar
- 2 cups mixed fruit chunks (equal parts asian pear, mango, and papaya)
- splash of soda water
directions
in a glass pitcher, combine the sake, orange juice, brandy, and sugar. stir until sugar is dissolved. add the chunked fruit and refrigerate for 4 to 6 hours (lindsey and cyril couldn’t wait that long).
to serve, fill large wineglasses with ice, and pour in sangria until 3/4 full. spoon some fruit from the bottom of the pitcher and then splash with soda water to finish.
episode 2 – fried rice and sake sangria
in the second episode of eating in, native frenchman cyril joins new york city gal, lindsey, for some non-takeout fried rice. seems like lindsey and cyril hit it off, and the sake sangria was a great ice breaker. i could see a future with these two as long as no cilantro is involved! check it out and tell us how you think it went!
