Okay, I hope you’re loving all the videos so far because today we’re getting into the really fun stuff and there are THREE more videos! (If you missed the first day of this class, make sure you click HERE so you don’t miss a thing!) You’ll be able to see for yourself how EASY it is to start cooking basic items in your pressure cooker to save you time in the kitchen! Check out the videos below to see just how easy it is to cook beans, rice, and wheat berries in a pressure cooker. Make sure if you have a different pressure cooker than I do that you reference YOUR owner’s manual for specific times and measurements for these items. I’ve also added some homework items for you (yes, I said homework! I want you to actually TRY these concepts for yourself!) they are fun recipes you can try that I like to use OR you can try your own recipe. Make sure to leave a comment with successes and questions so we all can learn from each other!

Posted by Crystal on April 16, 2010 View Comments

This is my new favorite done in 15 minutes meal (when I make my rice in the pressure cooker)! It tastes great, is kid friendly, and works for company as well. It’s this easy…

HAWAIIAN MEATBALLS & RICE

(use as many of the ingredients as you’ll need to feed your family)

Rice
Meatballs
Sweet Baby Ray’s BBQ Sauce (or any other BBQ sauce…that is just my favorite)
Pineapple Tidbits, drained

Cook Rice. While rice is cooking, cook meatballs. After meatballs are cooked toss and coat with bbq sauce and pineapple tidbits and warm through.

Fried Rice: Rice Food Storage Recipes

Posted by Crystal on April 15, 2010 View Comments

This recipe is so good that I don’t even wait until I have leftover rice to make it! Sometimes, I’ll just pressure cook up some rice and serve it with pot stickers from Costco. So easy, so fun, and SO DELICIOUS!

FRIED RICE (Chinese Leftovers)

3 green onions cut on the diagonal thin (part tops too)
3 C Cold cooked rice
3 oz or 1/3 C Pork (or try for 1 Cup chopped left over meat about like ham, pork, chicken
1/2 C raw chopped shrimp-optional (If you use drained canned shrimp, decrease the salt)
left over cooked vegetables like peas and carrots (Optional)

3 Eggs, whisked (Sorry, no powdered egg conversion for this…it doesn’t work well)
4 T oil
1 T soy sauce

If using raw shrimp, dip in 1 tsp corn starch and fry in 2 T oil. Cook until done and remove from Wok or frying pan.
You may want to crisp other meat too.
Add the Eggs, Oil, and Soy Sauce and beat together. Add to hot wok, when it starts to set, add meat, rice, vegetables, 2 tsp salt, toss, add green onions, toss and serve.
