Brown Rice with Tofu, Scallions, Ginger and Black Bean Sauce!
Posted by Shelly Perry (02/06/2011 @ 2:06 am)
After a long Saturday spent writing; cooped up in the house on a snowy afternoon I just needed something fresh, spicy and satisfying.
Brown rice with tofu and black bean sauce was the ticket.
Ginger and scallions added the fresh crunchy spicy thing.
Make sure to sautee the ginger or add it while the rice is boiling.
Too raw and it can be intense!
I added alot of crushed red pepper.
I love the heat!

Leftovers! Black Beans and Rice with Chicken
Posted by Shelly Perry (05/11/2010 @ 7:37 pm)
What I had:
Leftover black beans, about 2/3 a can
2 scallions
the remains of a bunch of cilantro
1/2 breast of chicken
I made some white rice ( kids request ) and added some roasted garlic, also leftover from an eariler meal.
After the rice was cooked I threw in the chopped cilantro, garlic and black beans.
My daughter warmed the chicken then we plated everything and garnished with salsa, sour cream and scallions.
This couldn’t have been easier.
No waste! Perfect, because…
I am going grocery shopping tommorrow!
