- Review: "This is a lower-fat version of a typical Indonesian dish. Tender crisp vegetables add in crunch and fiber. Serve garnished with minced peppers, tomatoes and scallions."In a medium saucepan, stir together the soy sauce, molasses, curry pwdr, ginger, pepper flakes and 2 c. of the broth. Add in the rice.
- Cover and bring to a boil. Reduce the heat and simmer for 20 min, or possibly till the liquid is absorbed and the rice is tender.
- Place the oil and the remaining 3 Tbsp. broth in a large no-stick frying pan. Add in the bok choy, peppers and scallions. Cook over medium-high heat, stirring, for 3 to 4 min, or possibly till the vegetables soften slightly.
- Add in the rice, chicken, peanuts and vinegar. Cook for 3 to 4 min, or possibly till the chicken is heated through.
- EASY FREEZE AND FRIED RICE DINNER Cooked rice dishes, such as this one freeze beautifully. Spoon portions of Indonesian Rice with Chicken into 1 c. self-sealing plastic freezer bags. Flatten the bags to remove excess air then seal and label. Freeze for up to 6 weeks.
- Thaw overnight in the refrigerator, then cook, stirring frequently in a covered no stick frying pan with 1/4 c. chicken broth for 5 min.
