Brown Rice

There are several methods for preparing rice. Brown rice especially is a bit more time consuming as it still contains the nutrient packed outer grain. This recipe contains three different methods for preparing brown rice. Try them out and stick with the one that produces the rice just the way you like it.

These methods can work for long, short, medium or other types of brown rice.

Asian Plum Barbecue Sauce

Plum sauce is a common Chinese sweet & sour condiment. This version uses fresh plums and a minimal amount of ingredients to create a slightly similar barbecue sauce. Adjust the seasonings to your personal taste. If you like more mild cuisine, start with just a pinch of the jalapeno and ginger, adding more to taste. If you like it extra spicy, red chili paste would blend in nicely. If your plums are oozing with sweetness you may be able to omit the honey.

Asian Plum Lettuce Wraps

These make-it-at-the-table bundles of lettuce joy are inspired by Asian plum sauce. However, we avoid the high-sugar condiment and opt for fresh plums chopped up instead. Hints of garlic & ginger liven up this simple soy-sauced up meat.

This is easily gluten-free by making sure you have wheat-free tamari sauce instead of traditional soy sauce.
