Asian Chicken Rice

-
Originally I had planned on my weekly menu to make teriyaki chicken and fried rice then I changed my mind and made this one dish meal instead.  It was very yummy and the family really enjoyed it.
  
Awhile back I posted a recipe for Korean Pork… which was amazing. The recipe can be found HERE. This is a little twist on this recipe that turned out so yummy. 

Asian Chicken Rice
2 lbs boneless, skinless chicken (breasts or thighs), cut into bite size pieces
1 batch Korean Marinade
5 to 6 cups cooked brown rice
1 large onion, diced
1 red or yellow pepper, chopped
1 bunch of celery sliced
5 to 6 mushrooms, sliced
2 to 3T coconut oil (or olive oil)

Put chicken in a bowl and cover with about 1 cup or so of the Korean Marinade. Put in fridge and let marinade as long as possible (2 to 6 hours). While chicken is soaking in marinade cook a pot of brown rice (info HERE).

At dinner time heat a large stock pot (6 to 8qt) and add oil. Add veggies and cook for a few minutes until veggies start to soften. Add chicken and marinade. Continue cooking until chicken is fully cooked.

Add 5 to 6 cups cooked brown rice. Taste and add more reserved marinade sauce until it tastes right to you. :)

Here it is in pictures (I accidentally had my camera set to wide screen so the pictures turned out a bit unique! ha, ha..) ..

Canning Chicken Noodle-less Soup

-
Image
Today was one of those busy days that it seemed I was moving from the time my feet hit the floor until this evening.. But, I got so much done and that is a great feeling! :) One of my accomplishments today was canning 14 jars of chicken noodle-less soup. I call it “noodle-less” because you can’t can noodles. They end up falling apart. So I canned the chicken, veggies and broth. When I go to use the soup I will bring it to a boil and then add a handful of noodles (any type of pasta will work) and cook it until the noodles are done. Because I plan to add the pasta after the fact I wanted to make sure there was enough chicken broth to do this. So I only filled my jars about half to two thirds with chicken and veggies and then filled with chicken broth. Here is how I did this…. I started off with 2 chickens that were a total weight of about 10lbs. I put them in my 14 quart stock pot… I then added 2 gallons of water.. And 3 tablespoons salt.. I brought this

Canning Cabbage

I had 4 large heads of cabbage that weighted about 25 pounds. We had some really hot days and I figured I better get the last of them picked soon. My daughter Sierra and I ended up processing 3 of them yesterday and I have one left for a meal on my menu this week. I made pickled cabbage and then canned up the last of the cabbage. Here is the recipe for the pickled cabbage (according to how I made it)… 8 pounds cabbage 1 large onion 1 ½ red peppers 1 lb carrots ¾ cup salt 9 cups water 12 cups white vinegar 10 cups sugar 1t mustard seed 1t celery seed Slice cabbage thinly. Slice onion and peppers. Grate carrots. Mix all veggies together in a very large bowl. Sprinkle with salt and mix in well. Let sit for 2 hours to soften veggies. Rinse veggies well.  In a large stock pot (mine was 14 quarts) combine water, vinegar, sugar, spices. Bring to a boil. Add cabbage/veggies. Bring to a boil. Fill hot pint jars with veggies using a slotted spoon. Fill jar with brine to

Canning Beef Stew

In my last blog post I shared that I had bought 10 pounds of beef roast. I cut it all up and used 4 pounds in 2 crockpot freezer meals ( http://homesteadinghomemaker.blogspot.com/2012/02/two-more-crockpot-meals-for-freezer.html ) . I used the other 6 pounds of meat along with potatoes, carrots, onions and celery to can beef stew. Here were the general proportions I used in canning 7 quarts of beef stew.. 6# beef 2# potatoes 2# carrots 1# onions 1# celery After I cut up the meat and got the freezer meals done I moved to the beef stew. I peeled and cut up the potatoes and carrots. I chopped up the onions and sliced the celery. I pulled out 3 quarts of veggie stock from my freezer to use for liquid in the stew. You can use beef or chicken stock or you can use water. I did not add anything to thicken the liquid as usually thickeners don’t hold up in canning. You can thicken the broth after it is opened if you would like. I added 1 teaspoon salt to each of my
