Whole Grain Rice and Spinach Pilaf
Main Dishes • Uzbek
Description
I use chicken in this dish to reduce calories, but you can use any meat you like. I marinate the fillet in teriyaki sauce to keep it juicy, which is important for a dish made without oil.
Ingredients
- Basmati rice 5 oz
- Turnips 2 pieces
- Shallot 3 pieces
- Garlic 4 cloves
- Frozen spinach discs 5 oz
- Salt to taste
- Chicken fillet 1 piece
- Yakiniku sauce 2 tablespoons
- Fresh basil leaves 0 oz
Step-by-Step Guide
Step 1
I prepare the brown rice in a steamer in advance.
Step 2
Cut the chicken fillet, marinated in teriyaki sauce, into strips (about 1 cm thick).
Step 3
Slice the carrots into thick sticks.
Step 4
Cut the onion into rings and peel the garlic.
Step 5
In a preheated non-stick skillet (I do not use oil for frying, so the pan must be non-stick), sauté the sliced chicken fillet for 5-7 minutes, add the carrots, and sauté on high heat for another 7-10 minutes, stirring occasionally. Add the spinach and crushed garlic. Sauté everything together for another 5 minutes. Add the onion so that it gets slightly browned. Season with salt. Add the pre-cooked rice (by any convenient method) and a few tablespoons of oyster sauce or teriyaki sauce. Stir-fry for a few minutes. Turn off the heat. Add the fresh spinach leaves, mix, and let it sit for 5 minutes to warm the spinach.
