What's for Dinner? (Another Tuesday)

This Tuesday's dinner is stir-fried vegetables with steamed rice.

The refrigerator contained bok choy, carrots, the rest of the red pepper from the pizza, and half a leek.  I stir fried them all in a large pan in a little oil, then tossed in my standard sauce made of arbitrary amounts of soya sauce, vinegar, mustard, honey, ginger, coriander, turmeric and water.  I let that reduce for a bit, then turned off the heat and drizzled a little sesame oil on top. We ate it with sweet chilli sauce.

And for dessert, rice pudding because the milk was starting to get a bit old, and the extra heat from the oven kept me warm while I was working. 

Rice Pudding

3 oz arborio rice

2 oz sugar

1 oz butter

2 pints milk

1 t vanilla extract

pinch nutmeg

pinch cinnamon

Throw everything into an oven-proof dish that has a lid, and cook it in a 150 oven for 2-2.5 hours, stirring every half hour or so.  It's done when it resembles a pudding, but will keep thickening as it cools.

Rice pudding is Jamie's childhood favourite.  It takes so little effort to make him so happy.
