Last night I made Teriyaki Chicken Wings with Jasmine rice.. let me point out that I have never paid so little for Jasmine Rice and it was great quality. I have been shopping at Food Lion. I am very impressed with the savings.

I went with a healthy meal tonight. Shockingly my 3yr old daughter even ate the okra.
I used Mahatma jasmine rice which was of course steamed in my Oster Rice Cooker. Then I steamed my frozen okra in coconut milk. I suppose this is the reason my daughter enjoyed it. My chicken drumettes were marinated in salt and pepper and a little garlic salt overnight.
Today I added cajun seasoning and curry powder. I sliced half a jalapeño, an onion and 3 gloves of garlic then mixed them with my drumettes. I baked the chicken on 350° for and hour without covering it.
And below are the results

My daughter loves soup.. or should I say broth ;) I can usually get her to at least try new veggies, if they are surrounded by broth.
On Thursday I made a Asian Chicken Wing Soup with what I grabbed assuming that it was flowering cabbage.. was in fact broccoli rabe. Very similar in taste. I am glad that I made the connection because many of the soups I have learned over the years, were taught to me by foreign friends.
There's nothing like having English as a first language but only knowing the Vietnamese name for a vegetable. Lol
By the way a RICE COOKER is a single parents BEST FRIEND!!! Get one! I have an Oster rice cooker/steamer and I absolutely love it.
TIPS
ALWAYS RINSE YOUR RICE
THE WATER NEEDS TO BE ABOUT AN INCH OVER THE RICE (I measure with the first indent of my pointer finger)
On Sunday, I REMIXED the broth and made an Asian inspired Meatball Soup with a twist, I used the pre made meatballs. Rosina was the brand. Not my favorite but good. Take a look below
