Garlic rice is a popular dish in many cuisines that involves cooking rice with garlic and sometimes other herbs or spices. The dish can be prepared in various ways, but typically involves sautéing minced or chopped garlic in oil or butter, then adding rice and cooking it until the rice is tender and has absorbed the flavors of the garlic and other ingredients.
Some variations may also include additional seasonings such as salt, pepper, and herbs like thyme or parsley. Garlic rice can be served as a side dish or as a base for other dishes such as stir-fries, curries, or grilled meats. It has a fragrant and savory taste and a texture that is fluffy and slightly crispy on the outside.
What can I add to make rice taste better?
you can cook the rice in broth instead of water. Broth is obviously much more flavorful than water so it adds much more flavor.
Garlic Rice
Honey chili garlic shrimp is a popular dish that features succulent shrimp tossed in a sweet and spicy sauce made from honey, garlic, and chili flakes. The shrimp is typically marinated in a mixture of soy sauce, ginger, and garlic before being stir-fried in a hot wok or skillet.
Once the shrimp is cooked through and pink, it is removed from the pan, and a sauce is made by combining honey, soy sauce, chili flakes, and minced garlic. The shrimp is then added back to the pan, along with the sauce, and everything is tossed together until the shrimp is coated in the sticky, caramelized sauce.
The dish is usually garnished with sliced scallions and sesame seeds and served with steamed rice or noodles. The combination of sweet, spicy, and savory flavors makes honey chili garlic shrimp a delicious and satisfying dish that is perfect for a quick and easy weeknight dinner or a special occasion.
Tips For Cooking With Frozen Shrimp
I have used frozen shrimp for this recipe. Use fresh or frozen, depending on what you can lay your hands on! Cooking frozen shrimp is such a breeze. Just follow these simple steps for perfectly cooked shrimp:
- To thaw the shrimp, place the frozen shrimp in a bowl of room temperature water to completely cover the shrimp. Do not use hot water, as shrimp is such a delicate protein, there are chances that the shrimp will start to cook in hot water. Optionally, you can run cold water over the shrimp to thaw it.
- The shrimp will thaw soon – in under 15 minutes, the shrimp should be soft to the touch.
- Once the shrimp is thawed, clean it, and prep it for cooking. Before cooking the shrimp, marinate it in a little soy sauce, rice vinegar and salt. Let the shrimp or prawns marinate for just around 5 minutes, and will keep the shrimp tender and juicy when cooked.
- Before you start cooking, preheat the skillet – use a non-stick or well-seasoned cast-iron skillet for best results. Add oil and once the oil is hot, add the shrimp.
- Shrimp needs to be cooked for just under 3 minutes on each side. Once one side is done, it will turn pink, and that’s how you know the shrimp needs to the flipped. Once the shrimp is cooked on each side, transfer to a plate and keep aside. Over-cooking the shrimp can make the shrimp tough, and unappetizing.
