Fried Rice
Recipe Summary
Difficulty: Easy
Prep Time: 15 minutes
Cook Time: 12 minutes
Yield: 4 to 6 servings
Peas, carrots and corn are a good choice because they're all about the same size so they'll cook at the same temperature and time. Also, they're a good size ratio to the rice. Other vegetables can be used but do not put too many veggies in ratio to rice or the rice will get soggy. Also, do not crowd the pan or the veggies will steam instead of cooking crisp and make the final dish soggy. The egg is cooked right before the rice because it has a tendency to stick to the pan and remnants in the pan burn as the other ingredients are cooked. When cooked right before the rice, any remnants become incorporated into the rice. Although jasmine rice is preferable, any kind of long grain rice can be used. Avoid using medium and short-grained rice as they tend to be sticky. Also, the rice should not be warm fresh rice, otherwise it will also tend to be sticky.
1/3 cup plain vegetable oil, like soy, corn, or peanut
1/3 pound black forest ham, diced, or about 2 cups cooked, cubed or shredded meat
1 onion, diced
Salt and pepper
3 cloves garlic, finely chopped
2-inch piece fresh ginger, peeled and finely chopped
3 whole scallions, thinly sliced on the bias, white and green separated
1 1/3 cups (6 ounces) medley frozen corn, peas, carrots
4 large eggs, lightly beaten
4 cups cold cooked long-grain rice, white or jasmine rice, grains separated
Heat a large heavy-bottomed nonstick skillet over high heat. When hot add 1 tablespoon of the oil. Add the ham and cook stirring occasionally until lightly browned. Add the onions to the pan, season with salt and pepper, and cook for 1 to 2 minutes until onion is fragrant Add the garlic, ginger, and scallion whites and stir-fry until fragrant, about 30 seconds. Add the frozen vegetables. Cook until just defrosted but still crisp. Transfer contents of the skillet to a large bowl.
Return the pan to the heat and add 2 more tablespoons of oil. Add the eggs and season with salt and pepper. Stir the eggs constantly and cook until almost set but still moist, then transfer egg to the bowl. Break the eggs up with a wooden spoon or spatula.
Return the pan to the heat and add the remaining oil. Add the rice to the pan and use a spoon to break up any clumps. Season with salt and pepper and stir-fry the rice to coat evenly with oil. Stop stirring, and then let the rice cook undisturbed until its gets slightly crispy, about 2 minutes. Stir the rice again, breaking up any new clumps. Add the scallion greens. Transfer to the bowl. Stir all the ingredients together with the rice, taste and adjust the seasoning with salt and pepper, if necessary. Serve.
Roast Chicken with Vegetables
Recipe Summary
Difficulty: Easy
Prep Time: 10 minutes
Cook Time: 1 hour
Yield: 4 servings
New cooks are intimidated by the idea of roasting a chicken, but nothing could be simpler. If you roast the chicken with some vegetables in the same pan for about an hour, you will have a moist, golden bird and savory accompaniments--all ready to eat at the same time. While they cook, you can set the table, watch the news, maybe make a dessert.
8 whole carrots
1 teaspoon black pepper
2 medium-size yellow onions 4 sprigs fresh or 1 tablespoon dried rosemary
8 small white or red potatoes (about 1H inches in diameter)
1 whole chicken, about 3 1/2 pounds
3 teaspoons salt
Preheat oven to 425 degrees F.
Preparing the Vegetables Peel the carrots and cut them crosswise into 1 1/2-inch-long pieces. Cut the thicker pieces in half lengthwise as well. Peel each onion and cut into quarters. Wash the potatoes under cold water to get rid of any dirt. Leave them whole and unpeeled. Scatter the carrots, onions, and potatoes on the bottom of a 9-by-13-inch baking or roasting pan. Sprinkle 1 1/2 teaspoons of the salt and 1/2 teaspoon of the pepper over them, and lay 2 sprigs of the rosemary on top. If you are using dried rosemary, put 1 tablespoon in the palm of your hand and crumble it over the vegetables.
Preparing the Chicken The giblets, which consist of the liver, gizzard, and heart, plus the neck, are usually in a package inside the cavity of the chicken, between the legs. Remove them and discard or refrigerate them to use later. If there is a pale-yellow chunk of fat on either side of the cavity, pull or cut it off and discard. Hold the chicken under cold running water and rinse it inside and out. Shake off excess water and pat dry with paper towels. Sprinkle the remaining 11/2 teaspoons of salt and 1/2 teaspoon of pepper over the outside of the chicken, rubbing them all over the skin. Set the chicken, the breast side facing up, on top of some of the vegetables, with the remaining ones surrounding the bird. Insert a dial-type (not instant-read) thermometer into the breast, taking care that the rod of the thermometer does not touch any bones.
Roasting the Chicken Put the chicken in the center of the oven and set the timer for 30 minutes. When the timer rings, remove the pan from the oven and, using a large spoon, turn over the vegetables that surround the chicken. Don't bother with the vegetables under the chicken. Return the pan to the oven and set the timer for 30 more minutes. After 30 minutes, take the chicken out of the oven to check for doneness. Insert the tip of a small paring knife into the meat of the thigh where it attaches to the body. If the juices that run out are pink, the chicken needs to continue cooking for another 10 to 15 minutes. If the juices are clear, it is done. The meat thermometer should show a temperature of 170 degrees F to 180 degrees F when the chicken is done.
Carving the Chicken Carve the chicken according to the instructions on the preceding page. Scoop the vegetables out of the roasting pan and onto a serving platter. Remove the fat from the pan juices. Arrange the cut chicken pieces on top of vegetables, spoon some pan juices over the chicken and vegetables, scatter the 2 remaining rosemary sprigs on top and bring the dish to the table for serving.

Non-Fat Potato Salad Aloo Chat Recipe
This delicious cold potato salad has the flavors of India with zero fat. Perfect for a potluck - nothing to go bad and cause food poisoning!
INGREDIENTS:
6 medium sized red potatoes
5-6 tablespoons of fresh lemon or lime juice
2 teaspoons cumin powder
salt to taste
1/2 teaspoon red chili powder (from Indian grocery - not the stuff you use in chili)

PREPARATION:
1. Boil the potatoes in their jackets until tender but firm. Drain and peel (if desired). Cut them into 1/4 inch cubes.
2. Add the rest of the ingredients to the potatoes and mix well.
3. Let rest, uncovered, at room temperature for 15 minutes so the spices can blend.
Toss and serve.
4. Can also make ahead and refrigerate, remove it from the refrigerator 15 minutes before serving.
For the best flavor, buy whole cumin seeds. Gently roast them in a non-stick pan until they brown slightly, then grind in a mortar or a clean coffee grinder you save for spices. The flavor is much more intense and satisfying than the cumin powder you buy in the store.
Variations:
Use more red chili powder if you want it spicier, or none at all if you want it mild.
Add cubed, uncooked banana and mix.

Chipolte-Glazed Vegetable Kebabs
2 medium-large zucchini, trimmed
18 small white mushrooms, stems trimmed flat with the caps
18 large cherry tomatoes, stemmed
3/4 cup Chipotle vinaigrette (recipe follows)
Salt and freshly ground black pepper
Cut each zucchini crosswise into 9 equally thick slices. Trim the slices to form cubes. Divide the vegetables, alternating them, among 6 flat metal skewers. Be certain to arrange the flat sides of the zucchini cubes and the stem ends of the mushrooms so they will get the maximum exposure to the fire.
Light a direct heat charcoal fire and let it burn down to medium-hot (5 seconds to ';ouch';) or preheat a gas grill to medium-high. Position the rack about 6 inches above the heat source.
When the grill is ready, lightly brush the kebabs with some of the vinaigrette. Lay the kebabs on the rack, cover and grill, turning every 2 minutes and basting often with the vinaigrette, until it is used up and the vegetables are lightly colored by the grill, 6 to 8 minutes total.
Season with salt and pepper and slide the vegetables off the skewers onto plates. Serve hot.

Note: The flavor of the cheese in the potato salad is best when eaten at room temperature, so remove from the refrigerator 1/2 hour in advance of serving time.
The side dish will depend on your main course I think. As for appetizer..my fav is vegetable crackers topped with cream cheese and pepper jelly..then top that with a small grape tomato or cucumber slice. Everybody loves 'em here. And they look nice too :) But like I said I would have to know what your main dish is in order to suggest side dish. Can never go wrong with some kind of rice dish...pretty much goes with everything or some kind of soup.
