Easy: Rice Salad | Einfach: Reissalat

English version below.

Ich brauchte noch schnell eine Beilage für meine gefüllten Zucchini, da hab ich mich in der Küche umgesehen und noch ein paar Sachen zusammen gesucht. Ehrlich gesagt kommen so viele meiner Rezepte zu Stande: Was ist noch da und was muss noch weg und was kann ich damit denn so machen?

Easy: Creamy Spinach with Chickpeas and Peanuts

Deutsche Übersetzung unter dem englischen Rezept!

So, I am not in my usual kitchen environment. Instead of enjoying the beautiful Ruhrgebiet, I am in New York City! Only temporarily, though. I am still settling in and finding my way around, particularly in the supermarkets, but I am glad to have access to a kitchen in the apartment in which I'm subletting a room. I had originally intended to make something along the lines of my world famous (ok, it's not... yet!) Sesame Spinach, but since I couldn't find any sesame seeds, I had to come up with something else. And I like what happened as I threw together my very, very limited selection of food items. Getting set up in a kitchen without having anything in the pantry or fridge whatsoever is quite the challenge. But it worked! :D

Fried Rice with Veggies and Sesame

Die DEUTSCHE ÜBERSETZUNG findet ihr unter dem englischen Rezept!

Very easy and a great way to use up any veggies that need to go and, of course, if you have leftover rice! I used leftover white rice and some purple rice, but any type will do. 

Ingredients for 5 servings:

• 300g of rice (300g before cooking)
• 4 medium carrots
• 300g of smoked tofu
• 4 small onions
• 1 medium zucchini
• 50g of sesame seeds
• soy sauce
• salt
• 1 tablespoon of powdered curry
• some vegetable oil
• some roasted sesame oil (the dark yummy oil, not the light tasteless stuff)

Green Thai Curry with Rice

Again, as with most more exotic recipes, I am claiming no authenticity for my green Thai curry. I am just claiming that it tastes great! :)

I made a big batch of green curry tonight because I made lunch for myself, a friend, and the boyfriend for tomorrow. And for dinner tonight. And whatever is left over won't survive for too long either. Here is a recipe for a normal batch.

Ingredients:

• 600ml of veggi stock
• 400ml of coconut milk (1 can)
• green curry paste - how much depends on how hot you like your food and on the curry paste itself. Also: Make sure you check your curry paste for non-vegan ingredients. Some are made with shrimp etc.
• 2 small zucchinis
• 1 eggplant
• 1 small broccoli
• 3 lime leaves (optional)
• a little bit of salt
• 1 cup of rice (I used red and white rice)
• 2 cups of water
• 1 tsp of sugar
