I am making scallops w/ mushrooms and asparagus. I have some leftover white jasmine rice from dinner last night...what should I do to it to serve it tonight?
Tho you could re-steam it with some veggies and add some lemon zest--which might pare better with your main course.
I had leftover brown rice tonight and stir fried it with vegetables and served it with roast chicken.
I like to re-steam it and serve it as is. Once I start eating I mix it with whatever sauce my main dish has produced. Sauté those mushrooms with some butter or olive oil to make a quick little mushroom gravy.
In South India, where we consume loads and loads of rice, leftover rice is commonly rehashed to be eaten again later.
- You could make lemon rice by flavouring some hot oil with mustard seeds, red chilli, turmeric, peanuts and lots of lemon juice and mixing this in with the rice. Tastes great with fried fish.
- Another very popular way of renewing it is to made curd rice - Mix in milk and yoghurt that have been whisked together, heat a little oil in a wok, throw in a some mustard seeds, finely chopped ginger, green chillies and curry leaves and then the rice-curd mixture. Heat without letting the mixture boil (it will split if you boil it) and serve with poppadom.
- On my blog, I have one of our latest favourites - Pear and Bacon fried rice. http://bombaychowparty.wordpress.com/2012/07/04/and-then-she-took-a-pear/
Author Notes: Vegan pepperoni made from zucchini "cured" in oil and spices - perfect on a pizza or with an antipasto platter. It really tastes like pepperoni! —I'll Do The Dishes Later
In a larger bowl, toss the zucchini slices in the oil and spice mixture. Be sure to coat both sides of each slice as evenly as possible.

You are here: Home / A to Z Recipe Index / Make-Ahead Freezer Chocolate Chip Cookie Dough Balls Recipe
You know, healthy is good. But, so is chocolate chip cookie dough….good that is, not so much healthy. Sometimes after a long day of eating healthy, I just NEED a cookie. And it’s pretty much non-negotiable. I’d better get that cookie or no one’s gonna go to bed happy.
The last thing I want to do at the end of a long day though is make up a batch of cookie dough. That’s just work and more time between me and the cookie. So, I figured out this simple little recipe for chocolate chip cookie dough that you can make in advance, shape into balls, and then just plop into your freezer. When the craving comes later, take out, bake, and voila. Perfect, because then I can also pretend to have some portion control and just make what I actually should eat.
You can freeze a lot of different cookie doughs for later consumption. For example, this other Browned Butter Cookie Dough also freezes up pretty well. When I bake it, I just let it set out for about 10-15 minutes so it’s not rock hard, and because it has a high butter content, it flattens out pretty well when baking. With doughs that are more heavy on the flour content, you may need to let them thaw a little longer.
Drop cookie dough scoops on a baking sheet close enough together you can fit them all on at once. Place in freezer for about an hour. Remove from freezer, bag up and throw them back in the freezer until ready to bake.
Bake for 9-12 minutes in the preheated oven, or until the edges are lightly toasted. Cool on baking sheets for a few minutes before transferring to wire racks to cool completely.
I am in Utah at about 5500 feet above sea level. if you are at a lower altitude decrease the flour by 1 to 2 tablespoons. At a higher altitude (6000 and above), add a few tablespoons flour and take away one of the sugar.
Love this! It is rare when I don’t have cookies in my freezer. Best thing ever. Seriously life saving sometimes.
