umm, so it's been months since I've actually posted anything new, so I thought I'd add something. This is shamelessly stolen from Rachel Ray: 365, no repeats cookbook which Christy loaned me
1.5 cups rice
1/2 cup wine
1 tbs butter
2 c chicken stock
saute the rice in the bottom of the pan with the butter, then add the wine (tip- Vodka isn't really so very much the same as wine- I tried. I still claim it outranks the Coors, .. ) when the wine evaporates add the stock and cook like rice (low heat, etc) until it's done.
While the rice is cooking make the chicken
1-2 lbs chicken cut in small peices (you DID remember to thaw it, right?)
2 tbs fresh ginger minced
1 onion chopped
2-3 cloves garlic minced
3 tbs honey
2 c chicken stock
1-2 Tbs cornstarch
salt
pepper
crushed red pepper
saute the chicken the pan with some oil, and salt and pepper to taste. then add garlic, ginger, onion and cook a few mintues. then add honey and stock and cook about 10 minutes. mix the cornstarch with water (just enough to be able to pour it) and add it to the pan. cook until the sauce is thick (or you can't wait any longer)
