The class time listed is U.S. Eastern Time (NY/DC).

Don’t throw away leftover rice – make my fried rice, flavored with a secret American ingredient. I will also show you how to make an Asian coconut rice pudding and Chinese juk (rice porridge) with your leftover grains. Vegetarian versions are available. Have 4-5 cups of cold or leftover rice handy for the class.

The shopping list for the fried rice: 2-3 cups leftover rice, 2-4 scallions (or 1 leek), 2-3 garlic cloves, 4 eggs, 1 medium carrot, 1/2 cup green peas (preferable fresh), 1/2 pound diced cooked ham, bacon or other meat (or smoked tofu), salt, pepper, 2 tablespoons cooking oil, and good old-fashioned American yellow mustard.

The shopping list for the rice pudding is: 1 cup leftover rice, 1 cup coconut milk, 1/4 cup sugar, 1 tbs vanilla, 1/4 tsp, salt and a choice of your soft fruit (banana, mango, peaches etc).

And if you want to make juk (Chinese congee), just have some extra rice and water on hand.

I will be online 15 minutes before each class to chat, answer questions, and allow guests to introduce themselves. The class will last approximately 1.5 hours.
